| Zusammenfassung: | This book explores the way in which literature can be used to reinforce social power. Through rigorous readings of a series of antebellum plantation novels, Susan J. Tracy shows how the narrative strategies employed by proslavery Southern writers served to justify and perpetuate the oppression of women, blacks, and poor whites Tracy focuses on the historical romances of six authors: George Tucker, James Ewell Heath, William Alexander Caruthers, John Pendleton Kennedy, Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, and William Gilmore Simms. Using variations on a recurring plot - in which a young planter/hero rescues a planter's daughter from an "enemy" of her class - each of these novelists reinforced an idealized vision of a Southern civilization based on male superiority, white supremacy, and class inequality. It is a world in which white men are represented as the natural leaders of loyal and dependent women, grateful and docile slaves, and inferior poor whites. According to Tracy, the interweaving of these themes reveals the extent to which the Southern defense of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War was an argument not only about race relations but about gender and class relations as well |

Tracy Amherst Univ. of Massachusetts Press 1995 IX, 307 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier This book explores the way in which literature can be used to reinforce social power. Through rigorous readings of a series of antebellum plantation novels, Susan J. Tracy shows how the narrative strategies employed by proslavery Southern writers served to justify and perpetuate the oppression of women, blacks, and poor whites Tracy focuses on the historical romances of six authors: George Tucker, James Ewell Heath, William Alexander Caruthers, John Pendleton Kennedy, Nathaniel Beverley Tucker, and William Gilmore Simms. Using variations on a recurring plot - in which a young planter/hero rescues a planter's daughter from an "enemy" of her class - each of these novelists reinforced an idealized vision of a Southern civilization based on male superiority, white supremacy, and class inequality. It is a world in which white men are represented as the natural leaders of loyal and dependent women, grateful and docile slaves, and inferior poor whites. According to Tracy, the interweaving of these themes reveals the extent to which the Southern defense of slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War was an argument not only about race relations but about gender and class relations as well Geschichte 1800-1900 Geschichte 1800-1861 gnd rswk-swf Blancs de la classe ouvrière dans la littérature Classes sociales dans la littérature Femmes et littérature - États-Unis (Sud) - Histoire - 19e siècle Littérature américaine - 19e siècle - Histoire et critique Littérature américaine - États-Unis (Sud) - Histoire et critique Littérature et société - États-Unis (Sud) - Histoire - 19e siècle Noirs américains dans la littérature Patriarcat dans la littérature Pauvres dans la littérature Écrits d'hommes américains - Histoire et critique États-Unis (Sud) dans la littérature Geschichte African Americans in literature American literature Male authors History and criticism American literature 19th century History and criticism American literature Southern States History and criticism Literature and society Southern States History 19th century Patriarchy in literature Poor whites in literature Social classes in literature Women and literature Southern States History 19th century Working class whites in literature Weiße (DE-588)4132038-4 gnd rswk-swf Weiße Motiv (DE-588)4140565-1 gnd rswk-swf Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 gnd rswk-swf Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 gnd rswk-swf Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 gnd rswk-swf Armut Motiv (DE-588)4265691-6 gnd rswk-swf Armut (DE-588)4002963-3 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Schwarze Motiv (DE-588)4116434-9 gnd rswk-swf Southern States In literature Southern States Intellectual life USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 gnd rswk-swf USA Südstaaten (DE-588)4078674-2 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Frau (DE-588)4018202-2 s Geschichte 1800-1861 z DE-604 Schwarze (DE-588)4116433-7 s Armut (DE-588)4002963-3 s Weiße (DE-588)4132038-4 s Armut Motiv (DE-588)4265691-6 s Weiße Motiv (DE-588)4140565-1 s Frau Motiv (DE-588)4113617-2 s Schwarze Motiv (DE-588)4116434-9 s |
