Following Reinhart Koselleck’s Begriffsgeschichte, the author proposes that Americanness is not an ordinary word, but a concept with a historically specific semantic field. In the three decades before the Civil War, Americanness was constituted at the intersection of several concepts, in different stages of their respective histories; among these, nation, representation, individualism, sympathy, race, and womanhood. By tracing the representations of these concepts in literary texts of the antebellum era and investigating their overlapping with the rhetoric of national identification, this study uncovers some of the meaning of Americanness in that period.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: CHItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 148mmItem Weight: 470gAuthor: Iulian CananauGenre: HistoryBook Series: American CultureTopic: Society & Culture, Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
