Early African American Print Culture
The eighteenth and nineteenth centuries saw both the consolidation of American print culture and the establishment of an African American literary tradition, yet the two are too rarely considered in tandem. In this landmark volume, a stellar group of established and emerging scholars ranges over periods, locations, and media to explore African Americans' diverse contributions to early American print culture, both on the page and off. The book's seventeen chapters consider domestic novels and gallows narratives, Francophone poetry and engravings of Liberia, transatlantic lyrics and San Francisco newspapers. Together, they consider how close attention to the archive can expand the study of African American literature well beyond matters of authorship to include issues of editing, illustration, circulation, and reading-and how this expansion can enrich and transform the study of print culture more generally. Published in cooperation with the Library Company of Philadelphia.

\Dancing with a ghost\: Revolution and Whiteness in F. Scott Fitzgerald's \The Offshore Pirate\
The essay recovers an early F. Scott Fitzgerald short story, \"The Offshore Pirate,\" and explores the dialectic of American whiteness and themes of hiddenness and revelation conjured by the allusions to Anatole France's The Revolt of the Angels and literary imagery. While analyzing the racial and gender contradictions inherent in American whiteness, Griffin argues that the story advocates a conservative racial and class ideology while it unsuccessfully pushes for a progressive sexuality, what Fitzgerald calls the \"demi-monde.\" These progressive aspirations fail because American whiteness is at the heart of these ideological dynamics, and American whiteness, represented by Uncle Farnam, manipulates these characters, notably Ardita, the female protagonist, to choose conservative fates.

Home, Civilization, and Citizenship
As the domestic ideal increasingly included those beyond the white middle class (albeit in uneven and problematic ways, as depicted in the previous chapter), it inspired unexpected claims for political rights and supported new notions of citizenship. Harriet Beecher Stowe’s famous antislavery novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, renders the connection between home life and rights explicit, introducing Tom in the context of his respectable domesticity. How could Americans justify the enslavement of such a moral and homely man? How could the nation countenance an institution that endangered respectable home life? Echoing Stowe, after emancipation, Reconstruction, and the rise of Jim Crow,

Gendered Readings of \Uncle Tom's Cabin\: The Example of Sand and Flaubert
Sand's and Flaubert's reactions to Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) illustrate gendered readings of race. Whereas Sand praised its domestic qualities, Flaubert criticized its narrow focus on slavery and moral, political values. These reactions mark a separation between Sand's socially-oriented literature that appealed to women and Flaubert's aesthetically-oriented, presumably universal \"art for art's sake.\" That separation can also be identified in other nineteenth and twentieth century writers, with men criticizing Stowe in the name of universal aesthetic values and women acknowledging the need to read her within a feminine narrative tradition in which women spoke out in behalf of the oppressed Other.
