As Jeffrey Steele noted in 2012, the study of antebellum urban writing remains one of the "huge gaps in American literary history," a body of writing which has "not yet been systematically examined." This gap remains, a decade later, but evolving critical perspectives on the urban built environment, the abled and dis-abled body, racialized and gendered discourses of identity, nineteenth-century capitalism's shaping of social relations within cities, and the circulations of print and periodical culture have offered new ways to understand antebellum city writings. This forum features current research on representations of U.S. cities during the rapid expansion of both cities and print culture after 1840. Contributors draw on the above critical perspectives and on a range of historical, geographical, and economic contexts to develop new readings of the period's urban writings—they examine the characteristic genres of fiction, travel writing, and poetry—and to suggest further questions for the field. We hope that this forum is generative of future scholarship on the representational problems city texts pose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
