Imagining Equality in Nineteenth-Century American Literature - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Larson, Kerry (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
In this study, Larson reads the literature of the pre-Civil War United States against Tocqueville's theories of equality. Imagining Equality tests these theories in the work of a broad array of authors and genres, and in doing so discovers important new themes in Stowe, Hawthorne, Douglass and Alcott.
