Domestic Individualism: Imagining Self in Nineteenth-Century America - The New Historicism: Studies in Cultural Poetics

Explores the key relationship between domestic ideology and formulations of the self in 19th-century America. Arguing that domesticity not only presumes but institutes distinctions of gender, class and race, Brown reveals how these distinctions in turn inform identity.
