Escaped Nuns. True Womanhood and the Campaign Against Convents in Antebellum America. - YACOVAZZI, C. L.,
True Womanhood and the Campaign Against Convents in Antebellum America
KORTE INHOUD
Cassandra L. Yacovazzi skillfully situates antebellum America's anti-convent texts in their broader literary, social, and political contexts. In successive chapters of Escaped Nuns: True Womanhood and the Campaign against Convents in Antebellum America, Yacovazzi compares the anti-convent publications to such contemporaneous genres as slave narratives, city mysteries (sensational novels exposing urban vice), and anti-Mormon tracts (attacking polygamy). She also deftly relates anti-convent discourse to such social and political developments as the rise of radical abolitionism, the common school movement, the feminization of teaching, the sectarian Bible Wars of the 1840s, and the nativist Know-Nothing movement of the 1850s. |a 28/09/2020 (Publisher's information).
