Sibling Romance in American Fiction, 1835-1900 establishes the
narrative of sibling love as a culturally significant tradition in
nineteenth-century American fiction. Focusing on novels of the
antebellum and post-Civil War eras, this book examines fictional
siblings, particularly in the context of national crisis, from the
threat of South Carolina's secession from the national union in the
1830s to the post-Reconstruction crisis of racial segregation in
the 1890s. Drawing upon historical study, literary analysis,
philosophical methods, and psychoanalysis, this thought-provoking
book suggest that by significantly shifting the focus of their
narratives from courtship to sibling love, these novels contribute
to historical conversations about affiliation in such tumultuous
contexts as sectional divisions, debates over slavery, the Civil
War, and Reconstruction.
