{"product_id":"sentimental-men-mary-chapman-9780520216228","title":"Sentimental Men: Masculinity and the Politics of Affect in American Culture","description":"The essays in this volume analyze a wide variety of cultural forms to demonstrate the centrality of masculine sentiment in American literary and cultural history from the early republic to the progressive era. Challenging the association of sentimentality exclusively with femininity in studies of American culture, the contributors analyze sentimentalism not just as a literary genre but as a structure of feeling manifested in many areas: temperance testimonials, begging letters, historiography, philanthropic performance, photography, portraiture, and poetry. Essays from a variety of disciplines--American studies, literature, history, art, gender studies--deconstruct the alignment of reason, commerce, and the public sphere with men, and feelings, domesticity, and the private sphere with women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Chapman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520216229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520216228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.01h x 6.07w x 0.83d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2000","brand":"Mary Chapman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47520279986431,"sku":"9780520216228","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b24b4a5f-497c-4796-b9b9-da3f306d722b.jpg?v=1762884623","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sentimental-men-mary-chapman-9780520216228","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
