Here Bruce Burgett enters into debates over the \"public sphere,\" a concept introduced by Jurgen Habermas that has led theorists to grapple with such polarities as public and private, polity and personality, citizenship and subjection. With the literary public sphere as his primary focus, Burgett sets out to challenge the Enlightenment opposition of reason and sentiment as the fundamental grid for understanding American political culture. Drawing on texts ranging from George Washington's \"Farewell Address\" and Charles Brockden Brown's Clara Howard to Hannah Foster's The Coquette and Harriet Jacobs's Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Burgett shows that the sentimental literary culture of the period relied on readers' affective, passionate, and embodied responses to fictive characters and situations in order to produce political effects. As such, sentimentalism located readers' bodies both as prepolitical sources of personal authenticity and as public sites of political contestation. Going beyond an account of the public sphere as a realm to which only some have full access, Burgett reveals that the formation of the body and sexual subjectivity is crucial to the very construction of that sphere. By exploring and destabilizing the longstanding distinction between public and private life, this book raises questions central to any democratic political culture.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50145052721425,"sku":"CIN0691015597G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0691015597.jpg?v=1750977035"},{"product_id":"keywords-for-american-cultural-studies-book-bruce-burgett-9780814799475","title":"Keywords for American Cultural Studies","description":"Explore the Keywords Collaborative interactive website at keywords.nyupress.org According to the Oxford English Dictionary, a \"keyword\" is \"a word that is of great importance or significance.\" On the web, \"keywords\" organize vast quantities of complex information.
