Summary:"This volume provides students of American literature with models and methods for approaching the question of embodiment. It underscores the body as at once dynamic, shaping our experience of the world through complex interplay between social and biological influences, and intersectional, resisting attempts for discrete analysis at every turn. By highlighting these two qualities, The Cambridge Companion to American Literature and the Body foregrounds the body's enmeshed interspersal throughout core concerns of American literary studies, including those focused on race, gender, sexuality, history, and ecology. Despite this range of fields, the insights from one particular field--disability studies--comprise the volume's most prominent conceptual resource, providing a thread linking essays on topics as seemingly varied as sentimental fiction, slave narratives, the history of reading, and ecocriticism."
