It argues that Cooper uses print culture, in particular transatlantic scientific writings and works of Anglican natural history, to create an aesthetics of wonder that negotiates ecological relationships between self and world, individual species and life zones, seasons and geological epochs. Yet wonder is not a presciently areligious affect that vaults her book into natural science's more secular future, as some critics have suggested. In Rural Hours, the religious and secular mutually inform each other as Cooper writes a wondrous earth. The essay details her interventions in Alexander von Humboldt's emergent ecological science and illuminates the ways her Episcopalian Christianity enriches Rural Hours through her denomination's emphasis on communion and balanced textual authority, in contrast to nineteenth-century Protestantism's reputation for individualist, sola scriptura hermeneutics. The essay also proposes that understanding Cooper's religious-scientific aesthetic of wonder helps clarify the gender and settler colonialism contexts of Rural Hours.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78721022","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I focus on three of Irving's \"sketch books\" written under the pseudonym of Geoffrey Crayon: The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1819–20), Bracebridge Hall; or The Humourists, A Medley (1822), and Tales of a Traveller by Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. (1824). Whereas the picturesque envisions a form of personhood rooted in aristocratic wealth and biological reproduction (from which, as a bachelor, Crayon is excluded), the domain I designate as the \"queer sublime\" locates, in the emotions associated with the sublime—terror, thrill, astonishment, fear, and the pleasure of annihilation—the very contours of Crayon's and Irving's male painters' visceral response to other men. As depicted in a sequence of tales from Tales of a Traveller, the queer sublime identifies a form of desire that disrupts the psychic boundaries between self and other and temporarily coheres via aesthetic philosophy. The article contributes to the literary history of sexuality by arguing that aesthetics helped organize nascent forms of queer desire and attachments prior to the so-called \"invention of the homosexual\" dated to the 1870s–90s.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73079636","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the early 1840s, the explosive growth of Washingtonian Total Abstinence Societies, a working-class movement based out of Baltimore, began to shift temperance culture away from its earlier bourgeois formulations. Written for the Washingtonians, Walt Whitman's Franklin Evans, or The Inebriate (1842) attempts to refigure the relationship between the body and the body politic. Building upon work from disability studies and crip theory, this paper considers how Whitman's approach to the genre of the temperance novel and the underlying ideas of the movement were shaped by his relationship with his brother Eddy, a person with physical and mental disabilities. Through scenes set in a crowded and chaotic New York City, Whitman questions what role people with non-normative bodies and minds can have in a democracy. Through depictions of vulnerable, dependent, and abnormal bodies, Franklin Evans imagines a form of association that not only acknowledges but depends upon the embodiment of citizens to locate and address political, economic, and social systems in need of reform.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89515267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mobilizing African American and broader American culture's preoccupation with the end of the world, Whitfield turns to allegory and apocalyptic prophecy to represent the massive scale of human sacrifice in a nation founded on enslavement and colonial domination. \"The Vision\" theorizes the regimes of oppression shaping the antebellum social order through what I term an apocalyptic aesthetic of annihilation, which emerges from the interaction of the poem's thematic, affective, and formal components. This aesthetic is concerned with imminent collapse of society and characterized by violent imagery, a tone of indignant despair, and an accelerated temporality conveyed by long, complex sentences and irregular, often inexact refrains. Serialized in Frederick Douglass' Paper and haunted by gaps resulting from the loss of its first canto, \"The Vision\" offers a chilling corrective to the newspaper's celebration of the progress of the antislavery cause, while the poem's prophecy of social destruction anticipates the possibility of its archival fragmentation.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90606841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Douglass, Cassey, and Dickerson were all members of Philadelphia's \"black elite.\" As free, middle-class African American women living in antebellum America, their albums and album entries have been critically considered for their displays of black female respectability and public-facing social networks. My own analysis of Douglass's botanical watercolors and poems, however, shifts focus from the public to the private, the exterior to the interior. Through close readings of Douglass's revisionary and citational practices in her entries, I re-direct attention to the imperceptible and immaterial qualities of her watercolors as figures of animation and freedom. I argue that Douglass's entries act as invitations to her African American female friends to turn toward their inner lives as sites of emancipatory expression, untethered by the oppressive restrictions of their outer worlds. By shifting attention to the internal life of both Douglass's flowers and the African American women they represent, I also draw out a more private network of African American female intimacy, support, and solidarity across differences in generation and geography.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79167494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
