About the Contributors

t Sentimentalism emerged in eighteenth-century Europe as a moral philosophy founded on the
belief that individuals are able to form relationships and communities because they can, by an
effort of the imagination, understand one another’s feelings. American authors of both sexes
who accepted these views cultivated readers’ sympathy with others in order to promote self-
improvement, motivate action to relieve suffering, reinforce social unity, and build national
identity. Entwined with domesticity and imperialism and finding expression in literature and
in public and private rituals, sentimentalism became America’s dominant ideology by the early
nineteenth century. Sentimental writings and practices had political uses, some reformist and
some repressive. They played major roles in the formation of bourgeois consciousness.
The first new collection of scholarly essays on American sentimentalism since 1999, this volume
brings together ten recent studies, eight published here for the first time. The introduction
assesses the current state of sentimentalism studies; the afterword reflects on sentimentalism as a
liberal discourse central to contemporary political thought as well as literary studies. Other con-
tributors, exploring topics characteristic of the field today, examine nineteenth-century authors’
treatments of education, grief, social inequalities, intimate relationships, and community.
This volume has several distinctive features. It illustrates sentimentalism’s appropriation of an
array of literary forms (advice literature, personal narrative, and essays on education and urban
poverty, as well as poetry and the novel), objects (memorial volumes), and cultural practices
(communal singing, benevolence). It includes four essays on poetry, which is less frequently
studied than fiction. In addition, it identifies internal contradictions that eventually fractured
sentimentalism’s viability as a belief system-yet suggests that the protean sentimental mode
accommodated itself to revisionary and ironized literary uses, thus persisting long after twen-
tieth-century critics pronounced it a casualty of the Civil War. This collection also offers fresh
perspectives on three esteemed authors not usually classified as sentimentalists-Sarah Piatt,
V/alt Whitman, and Henry James—thus demonstrating that sentimental topics and techniques
informed “realism” and “modernism” as they emerged. Offering close readings of nineteenth-
century American texts and practices, this book demonstrates both the limits of sentimentalism
and its wide and lasting influence. -
