Description

Negotiating Motherhood in Nineteenth-Century American Literature examines how major American authors of the nineteenth century represented and contested the maternal role during a transformative period in family history. Drawing on works by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Jacobs, and Sarah Piatt, this scholarly study reveals the complex negotiations surrounding motherhood that defined the American sentimental era. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in American Popular History and Culture series, this book explores how maternal figures functioned as sites of cultural meaning-making, social debate, and literary innovation. By analyzing diverse literary representations of motherhood, the work illuminates the contentious but fruitful ways nineteenth-century writers engaged with evolving ideas about family, womanhood, and American identity. This volume offers readers a nuanced understanding of how literature both reflected and shaped nineteenth-century attitudes towards the maternal role and its social prominence.
