This book examines the close relationship between the portrayal of
foreigners and the delineation of culture and identity in
antebellum American writing. Both literary and historical in its
approach, this study shows how, in a period marked by extensive
immigration, heated debates on national and racial traits, during a
flowering in American letters, encouraged responses from American
authors to outsiders that not only contain precious insights into
nineteenth-century America's self-construction but also serve to
illuminate our own time's multicultural societies. The authors
under consideration are alternately canonical (Emerson, Hawthorne,
Melville), recently rediscovered (Kirkland), or simply neglected
(Arthur). The texts analyzed cover such different genres as
diaries, letters, newspapers, manuals, novels, stories, and poems.
