Posthumous America: Literary Reinventions of America at the End of the Eighte…

For example, Hoffmann examines the paradoxical American paradise depicted in CrèvecÅ“ur's Lettres d'un cultivateur américain (1784); the “uch…

Possessed: A Cultural History of Hoarding
In Possessed, Rebecca R. Falkoff asks how hoarding—once a paradigm of economic rationality—came to be defined as a mental illness. Hoarding is unique among the disorders included in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5, because its diagnosis requires the existence of a material entity: the hoard. Possessed therefore considers the hoard as an aesthetic object produced by clashing per…

Our “work reading” overlaps with our “pleasure reading,” and yet these two modes of reading engage with different parts of the self. It is sometimes passive, sometimes active, and can even be an embodied form. The contributors to this volume share their own histories of reading in order to reveal th…
