The stamp act crisis and the sublime style of politics -- Wit and ridicule in revolutionary New York -- Satirizing the congress: ancient balladry and literary taste -- Loyalists and the author of Common sense -- New English rebellion
This study of the literature of politics reconsiders the place of the British American Loyalists in early American literary history. By imagining the Revolution as an episode in transatlantic literary history, it explores the relations between aesthetics and politics during a crucial transitional period in which both Loyalists and Patriots were redefining their respective relations to 'English' culture. Rather than pointing the ambivalence expressed by Loyalists writings, however, it argues for the dislocation and alienation Loyalists experienced, and thereby challenges the traditional image of this group as the only true Anglophiles in British America
