Twentieth-Century Sentimentalism: Narrative Appropriation in American Literature - The American Literatures Initiative
Jennifer A. Williamson
Argues that sentimentalism, an eighteenth- and nineteenth-century literary mode, is alive and well in the modern era. By examining working-class literature that adopts the rhetoric of "feeling right" in order to promote a proletarian or humanist ideology as well as neo-slave narratives that wrestle with the legacy of slavery and cultural definitions of African American families, it explores the ways contemporary authors engage with familiar sentimental cliches and ideals.
