| adam_text | This comprehensive study by leading scholars in an important new field - the
history of letters and letter writing - is essential reading for anyone interested in
nineteenth-century American politics, history or literature. Because of its mass
literacy, population mobility and extensive postal system, nineteenth-century
America is a crucial site for the exploration of letters and their meanings, whether
they be written by presidents and statesmen, scientists and philosophers,
novelists and poets, feminists and reformers, immigrants, Native Americans, or
African Americans. This book breaks new ground by mapping the voluminous
correspondence of these figures and other important American writers and
thinkers. Rather than treating the letter as a spontaneous private document,
the contributors understand it as a self-conscious artefact, circulating between
friends and strangers and across multiple genres in ways that both make and
break social ties.
Methodologically expansive, with intellectually interrogative chapters based
on original research by leading academics, this book offers new insights into
the lives and careers of Louisa May Alcott, Charles Brockden Brown, Emily
Dickinson, Frederick Douglass, Margaret Fuller, Henry James, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Edgar Allan Poe,
among many others.
