TY - GEN T1 - Intimacy in America : dreams of affiliation in antebellum literature A1 - Coviello, Peter LA - English PP - Minneapolis PB - University of Minnesota Press YR - 2005 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocn191935629 AB - Reading seminal works by Thomas Jefferson, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Walt Whitman, Peter Coviello traces these writers' ambivalences about the idea of an intimate nationality, revealing how race and sexuality were used as vehicles for an assumed coherence. Intimacy in America gives us a new perspective on the dream of Americanness as a relation to anonymous others.
