A whole range of major American writers have focused on images of
the household, of domestic virtue, and the feminine or feminized
hero. This important 1990 book examines the persistence and
flexibility of such themes in the work of a tradition of classic
writers from Ann Bradstreet through Jefferson and Franklin to
Hawthorne, Melville, Whitman and Emily Dickinson. Without
minimizing the differences that divide these figures, Anderson
shows the extent to which, in their various circumstances, they
were all committed to a common enterprise - a social and cultural
reconstruction based on the domestic values of the ideal private
household.
