By the Sweat of the Brow: Literature and Labor in Antebellum America
Nicholas K. Bromell
The growth of industrialism, the rise of professionalism and the decline of slavery led to debates in 19th-century America about the concept of work. This book examines the literary view of this debate, arguing that many writers felt an affinity between the mental labour of writing and manual work.
