Excerpt: ...After Livingstone has set out on his return to the Quaker City, I will arrive at Hawkwood, and then, mounted on fleet steeds, with suitable disguises, we will leave the country mansion together; and riding all night overtake the New York cars near Burlington. It is then but half a day's journey to New York; and the steamer sails in the beginning of next week. This is a straight-forward plan, Dora, and we would both do well to adopt it--" "I have other plans which may essentially alter our arrangements--" said Dora, in a deep and meaning whisper, with that same deadly glance of her eyes--" However, Algernon, do not fail to meet me at Hawkwood to-morrow night. But what folly is this! While we lay plans for our flight, Luke Harvey is telling Livingstone the story of his wife's guilt and his dishonor!" "This Harvey seems to hate you, Dora--" began Fitz-Cowles, aloud, but he finished the sentence by a muttered whisper--" By Jove! Ha is on my track also! I learn from that Buzby Poodle--whom I havo been forced to buy--that Harvey was dogging the Jew's heels to day! That same Luke han a spiteful black eye!" "Hate me!" echoed Dora--" Ha, ha, ha! To tell you the truth, FitzCowles, he was once a lover of mine. I rejected the poor fellow, he has exchanged his love for spite, and now would sell his soul to ruin me! Ha must be silenced, Fitz-Cowles?" She leaned over the table, fixing her dark eyes with a meaning glance upon the face of her paramour. FitzCowles involuntarily averted his eyes, and shaded his brew with his upraised hand. Dora gazed upon him silently and sternly for a sins' moment, and then laid her fair whits hand upon his arm. "He must be silenced!" she repeated...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning Beneath the American Renaissance is a classic work on American literature. It immeasurably broadens our knowledge of our most important literary period, as first identified by F.O. Matthiessen's American Renaissance. With its combination of sharp critical insight, engaging observation, and narrative drive, it represents the kind of masterful cultural history for which David Reynolds is known. Here the major works of Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, Hawthorne, Melville, and Dickinson receive striking, original readings set against the rich backdrop of contemporary popular writing. Now back in print, the volume includes a new foreword by historian Sean Wilentz that reveals the book's impact and influence. A magisterial work of criticism and cultural history, Beneath the American Renaissance will fascinate anyone interested in the genesis of America's most significant literary epoch and the iconic figures who defined it.
Download or read book Attachment Place and Otherness in Nineteenth Century American Literature written by Jillmarie Murphy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary study examines the role interpersonal and place attachment bonds play in crafting a national identity in American literature. Although there have been numerous ecocritical studies of and psychoanalytic approaches to American literature, this study seeks to integrate the language of empirical science and the physical realities of place, while also investigating non-human agency and that which exists beyond the material realm. Murphy considers how writers in the early American Republic constructed modernity by restructuring representations of interpersonal and place attachments, which are subsequently reimagined, reconfigured, and sometimes even rejected by writers in the long nineteenth century. Within each narrative American perceptions of otherness are pathologized as a result of insecure human-to-human and human-to-place attachments, resulting in a restructuring of antiquated notions of difference. Throughout, Murphy argues that in order to understand fully the contextually varied framework of human bonding, it is important to emphasize America’s "attachment" to various constructions of otherness. Historically, people of color, women, ethnic groups, and lower class citizens have been relegated—socially, politically, and culturally—to a place of subordination. Refugees escaping the French and Haitian Revolutions to American cities encouraged writers to transform social, cultural, and political attachments in ways that the American Revolution did not. The United States has always been part of an extended global network that provides fertile ground from which to imagine a future American identity; this book thus gestures toward future readers, educators, and scholars who seek to explore new fields and new approaches to understand the underlying human motivations that continually inspire the American imagination.
