Pauline Johnson deployed her performance of \"Indianness\"—that is, a fantasy of Native identity that was dictated by and performed for white audiences—to prove that the seemingly sincere lyrical voice was a fiction. This chapter focuses on Johnson's performances on the Chautauqua tour in 1907. To her American audiences, Johnson appeared to be a real Indian princess. But her performance dress was a bricolage of accessories and garments modeled on Minnehaha, the iconic Indian princess in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's The Song of Hiawatha. By adopting the tools of assimilation, Johnson's poetic acts exaggerated the idea of a Native \"voice\" to foreground the performativity of such a persona. But Johnson was following the imperatives of a cultural marketplace that had dissolved the distinctions between authenticity and performance. In so doing, Johnson proves that Native American selfhood was not subject to notions of fixed identity. Rather, Johnson created public space for a new embodied Indian presence, short-circuiting any easy equivalency between authentic Native subjectivity and white, Minnehaha-derived fantasies. By performing Indianness, Johnson insisted on the ongoing existence of Indians precisely because they could not be equated with these commercial figures.","PeriodicalId":53169,"journal":{"name":"ESQ-A JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE","volume":"65 1","pages":"331 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/esq.2019.0008","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42497075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Late in the century, Thomas Wentworth Higginson would fondly recall its “appetizing pages” and observe that American women gained “passage into literature by first compiling some kind of cookery book.... as Charlotte Hawes has since written, ‘First this steak and then that stake’”—first a domestic entrée and then a seat at the table.2 But the passage into literature to which Higginson refers was not a smooth one. Child’s book, with her stated intent to write “for the poor,” was greeted with some dismay by one of the age’s great tastemakers, Sarah Josepha Hale (AFH, 6). Herself a widowed mother of five, Hale also recognized the need for her readers to plan for financial exigencies.3 However, she offered only faint praise in an 1830 Ladies’ Magazine review of the first edition of Child’s book, which A mind full of piety and knowledge is always rich; it is a bank that never fails; it yields a perpetual dividend of happiness.","PeriodicalId":53169,"journal":{"name":"ESQ-A JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE","volume":"65 1","pages":"1 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ESQ.2019.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46738473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
