Poetry and Public Discourse in Nineteenth-Century America explores
nineteenth-century poetry as it addresses and engages in the major
concerns of American cultural life. Focusing on gender, biblical
politics, Revolutionary discourses and racial, sectional, and
religious identities, this book reveals how these issues contended
and negotiated with each other in the shaping of a pluralist
democratic polity. Nineteenth-century American poetry, far from
being the self-reflective art object of twentieth-century aesthetic
theory, offered a rhetorical arena in which civic, economic, and
religious trends intersected with each other in mutual definition
and investigation. With a deft hand, Shira Wolosky demonstrates the
ways in which poetry was a core impulse in the formation of
American identity and cultural definition.
