This book refocuses current understandings of American Literature
from the revolutionary period to the present-day through an
analytical accounting of class, reestablishing a foundation for
discussions of class in American culture. American Studies scholars
have explored the ways in which American society operates through
inequality and modes of social control, focusing primarily on
issues of status group identities involving race/ethnicity, gender,
sexuality, and disability. The essays in this volume focus on both
the historically changing experience of class and its continuing
hold on American life. The collection visits popular as well as
canonical literature, recognizing that class is constructed in and
mediated by the affective and the sensational. It analyzes class
division, class difference, and class identity in American culture,
enabling readers to grasp why class matters, as well as the
economic, social, and political matter of class. Redefining the
field of American literary cultural studies and asking it to
rethink its preoccupation with race and gender as primary
determinants of identity, contributors explore the disciplining of
the laboring body and of the emotions, the political role of the
novel in contesting the limits of class power and authority, and
the role of the modern consumer culture in both blurring and
sharpening class divisions.
