The Politics of Anxiety in Nineteenth-Century American Literature - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Murison, Justine S. (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
New scientific discoveries about the nerves inspired writers like Hawthorne and Beecher Stowe to re-imagine the role of the self amidst political, social and religious tumults, including debates about slavery and the revivals of the Second Great Awakening. Murison explains the impact of neurological medicine on nineteenth-century literature and culture.
