As an erotic sentimental novel, Mary Ann Temple promotes the active sexuality of a white middle-class young woman. Told from Mary Ann's point of view, the female narrative voice articulates erotic desire and demonstrates how a young woman expresses sexual agency and achieve a happy ending. Most surprisingly, Mary Ann Temple cultivates same-sex desire between women. The plot uses voyeurism to represent feminine desire for women's erotic bodies, and it renders salacious female desire for another woman's erotic submission through a whipping scene. Furthermore, the narrative arc creates episodic sexual encounters that focus on kissing, breasts, and fondling while simultaneously refusing men's sexual satisfaction and ignoring male anatomy. This structure creates space for depictions of desire between women as well as lesbian-like identification within the heterosexual pornographic scenes. As a result, Mary Ann Temple represents queer female sexuality not as part of a lurid, subterranean erotic, but rather lodged in the heart of bourgeois femininity and the mainstream form of the sentimental novel.","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":"85639489","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}

This practice of realism in poetry is characterized by a focus on the individual as historical agent, a relocation of the spiritual from the religious to the everyday, an insistence on the value and creativity of dialect, and a racial indeterminacy that evades the kind of racist essentialism of which Dunbar and dialect poetry more generally have been accused. In this sense, this examination of Dunbar's realism takes up Elizabeth Renker's project of rediscovering nineteenth-century American poetry's contribution to realism but does so to refocus that project on poems that strive to depict historical forces in concrete terms. In turn, the claim that Dunbar's dialect poems are realist has a number of implications for theories of realism and their selective prose tradition.","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":"84832276","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}

Abraham Oakey Hall, who served as Mayor of New York City from 1869–1872, began his life with the hopes of being a writer. With family ties in both New York and New Orleans, he circulated between the two capitals of the nineteenth century, cities that are now regarded as ego-ideals for one another: the former the ever-moving 'capital of capital' and the latter the static repository of lost history. The Manhattaner in New Orleans (1851) locates the moment when these two 'new' cities were not opposites, but competitors. Hall uses his travelogue not only to promote Northern investment in Southern economies, but to persuade Americans to stake their claim in the formerly Latin city. He advocates a cash and land grab, a moment of wild acquisition before resources have been hoarded by a handful of entrepreneurs. Nonetheless, in nearly two hundred pages, he scarcely mentions slavery, the mechanism of capital acquisition in each of those industries. I argue for Hall's travelogue as a foundational text of neoliberalism–scarcely a new phenomenon, but the tried-and-true method by which capitalism elides the relationship between profits and human suffering.","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":"80707832","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}

The author illustrated the points with numerous works from the 1970s through the 2010s, with special emphasis upon Professor Toshio Yagi of Seijo University and Professor Fumio Ano of Tohoku University, a couple of academic giants in this field. On one hand, Yagi's epoch-making essay \"Moby-Dick as Mosaic\" (originally written in 1983 and translated into English by Yagi himself in 1993) anatomized Melville's proto-postmodern blueprint of writing the mega-novel as a deconstructive mosaic. On the other hand, Ano, sharing the metaphor of mosaic with Yagi, attempted to represent the very Hawthornesque history as mosaic. His 1985 essay \"Hawthorne and Poison\" (originally written in 1985 and translated into English by Ano himself in 2007) critically expanded Dr. Jemshed A. Khan's intriguing perspective upon Hawthorne, and creatively re-read the short story \"Rappaccini's Daughter.\" It is their trans-Pacific interactions with North American specialists that helped make today's Japanese scholarship of American literature international.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84548214","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}
