Sir William Drummond Stewart: Aristocratic Masculinity in the American West
Sir William Drummond Stewart is known mostly as the patron of artist Alfred Jacob Miller, but he is worth examining in his own right for the ways in which his travels, collecting, and fiction reveal how western myths could resonate in contexts other than the familiar project of American nationalism. This article explores how the West served as an imaginative and literal site on which Stewart constructed his masculinity. Yet the more that Stewart tried to stabilize his identity through real and textual encounters with the West, the more this ground shifted under him. For instance, Stewart's novels depict the West as a place where gender and ethnicity were unpredictable and malleable. Thus, while discourses of western adventure have often been interpreted as a straightforward narrative of violence, Stewart's romantic tourism, although fraught with contradictions, reveals how western adventure could contain multiple meanings.

The fourth track,western, was the most specific and, in the handicapping metaphor of the charts, had entries that ran “the fastest kind

Postnational Recovery Narratives and Beyond
If Gene Wise was right and the 1970s marked a disintegration of the traditional models of American Studies criticism, then it was a disintegration that prompted a reorganisation of the field on new grounds. As research in other social sciences like ethnography and anthropology, along with theoretical developments from Europe, filtered into the writing of Americanists, the field was transformed by diversification and specialisation. Wise described this general process as a shift from a ‘holistic’ to a ‘pluralistic’ approach to American culture, driven by black studies, women’s studies and popular culture studies which, taken together he argued, marked ‘a rediscovery
