As a popular ethnographer, speaker, and the inspiration for Longfellow's epic poem depicting indigenous pacifism (Hiawatha), Copway was a key public figure in discussions of \"Indian nature,\" assimilability, and pacifism. I explore two ways Copway's work can be read as a subtext: first, as a model of counter-ethnography that may have influenced Melville's dialogue, which exposes the critical problems with representing 'Indians' as a monolith through similar inversions of racial tropes of description. Secondly, I suggest that Melville's satirical nod to the \"theory of the Peace Congress\" might be a subtle critique of Copway's hypocrisy; while he represented \"his race\" at a congress devoted to universal benevolence, by the time of The Confidence-Man's composition, Copway had become known for his work with the racist Nativist Know-Nothing party. These contexts can help us understand Melville's skepticism not a turn away from politics but a critique of the racial imaginary of reform discourse and its sources of epistemic authority.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":"1 1","pages":"331 - 355"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90876670","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}

Howells, daughter of novelist William Dean Howells, experienced years of nervous illness before her early death under the care of the notorious S. Weir Mitchell. Speculation regarding her death has lent her a small but persistent role in scholarship. Her poetry, though, has been largely ignored or read as symptoms of despair and decline. In this article, I reframe Howells as an agent rather than object of literary history, asking how her illness poetics might intervene in the kinds of illness narratives that shaped her experience and continue to challenge our ability to see her poetry as assertive, ironic, and ultimately experimental. In reevaluating Howells's biography and work, this essay attempts to move past concerns with the diagnosis of her illness to privilege her experience of it and her complex rhetorical and aesthetic negotiations of gendered discourses of illness.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":"33 5 1","pages":"155 - 183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80076404","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 reframe Thoreau's frequent preoccupations with hearing and sound through the histories and sensory epistemologies of deafness, which can highlight the threads that lace through Thoreau's work about comprehending nonnormative perception in the midst of an American cultural landscape increasingly preoccupied with demanding particular types of auditory and verbal behaviors. Following scholars like Christopher Krentz and Rebecca Sanchez, I \"deafen\" Thoreau by putting his work in dialogue with the alternative sensory, linguistic, and embodied histories and phenomenologies given to us by deaf experience. Thoreau frames sound and hearing, alongside broader notions about communication and perception, as fluid and individually variant processes rather than standard sensory givens. Thoreau's deeply subjective way of thinking through the body and its processes of perception and self-expression can highlight how the standardizing impulses of modernity work against more fluid human types of \"multimodality\" and the \"heterogeneity\" of sensing and communicating. The subjectivity and particularity that characterize Thoreau's explorations of nonnormative hearing and communicating ultimately prompt a deeper critique of standard sensory experience as a prerequisite for social legibility and interaction.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":"145 1","pages":"229 - 250"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89086054","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}

Moreover, slavery's tautology is embedded in national law. However, Northup presents an outside to this closed logical system. The essay's key intervention is to read the narrative against its chronological emplotment to uncover the fundamental duality of Northup's text and life: Northup is simultaneously free and enslaved throughout, regardless of his location or relationship to legal documents. As a victim of kidnap, Northup is always rightfully free though he is mistaken for a slave; simultaneously, after his kidnapping he understands that even in freedom he is always subject to enslavement as a Black man in the United States. The instability of his ontological status—as simultaneously enslaved and free—presents the limit to the totalizing view of the kidnapers and the state. The essay recovers Northup's perspective as someone who did not previously understand himself to be a potential slave as a refusal to flatten interpretation to a single plane.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":"26 1","pages":"51 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78268045","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 argue that Douglass evokes Yorùbá folk knowledge in his characterizations of Sandy Jenkins and his supernatural root, and that the narratives' performance of objectivity and neutrality when representing them creates a sensibility of conceptual instability in the narratives. In his cryptic representations, I explain, Douglass enlivens mêtis—a technique in which speakers feign one purpose to cleverly achieve their opposite—as a radical rhetorical appeal. By showing how the narratives' treatment of African cosmologies can implant uncertainty that raises questions about the logic that legitimated chattel slavery, this essay establishes Douglass's autobiographies as early experiments with radical black aesthetics.","PeriodicalId":41876,"journal":{"name":"J19-The Journal of Nineteenth-Century Americanists","volume":"20 1","pages":"185 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90871391","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}
