This volume illustrates the significance of epistolarity as a
literary phenomenon intricately interwoven with eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century cultural developments. Rejecting the common
categorization of letters as primarily private documents, this
collection of essays demonstrates the genre's persistent public
engagements with changing cultural dynamics of the revolutionary,
early republican, and antebellum eras. Sections of the collection
treat letters' implication in transatlanticism, authorship, and
reform movements as well as the politics and practices of editing
letters. The wide range of authors considered include Mercy Otis
Warren, Charles Brockden Brown, members of the Emerson and Peabody
families, Margaret Fuller, Elizabeth Stoddard, Catherine Brown,
John Brown, and Harriet Jacobs. The volume is particularly relevant
for researchers in U.S. literature and history, as well as women's
writing and periodical studies. This dynamic collection offers
scholars an exemplary template of new approaches for exploring an
understudied yet critically important literary genre.
