{"product_id":"dangerous-giving-in-nineteenth-century-american-alexandra-urakova-9783030932695","title":"Dangerous Giving in Nineteenth-Century American Literature","description":"This book explores the dark, unruly, and self-destructive side of gift-giving as represented in nineteenth-century literary works by American authors. It asserts the centrality and relevance of gift exchange for modern American literary and intellectual history and reveals the ambiguity of the gift in various social and cultural contexts, including those of race, sex, gender, religion, consumption, and literature. Focusing on authors as diverse as Emerson, Kirkland, Child, Sedgwick, Hawthorne, Poe, Douglass, Stowe, Holmes, Henry James, Twain, Howells, Wilkins Freeman, and O. Henry as well as lesser-known, obscure, and anonymous authors, Dangerous Giving explores ambivalent relations between dangerous gifts, modern ideology of disinterested giving, and sentimental tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexandra Urakova\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030932699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030932695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Alexandra Urakova","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073549988095,"sku":"9783030932695","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfb24803-7fb0-4501-9f9c-2db8dd92e22b.jpg?v=1685448482","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dangerous-giving-in-nineteenth-century-american-alexandra-urakova-9783030932695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
