Book Description: British and American abolitionists, temperance advocates, and suffrage reformers used print to exchange ideas and strategies. By placing nineteenth century Anglo American novels into this international context, the author shows how a transnational culture of reform influenced not only the content of these works but also their formal features. The Novel of Purpose offers a new way to understand the origins of social reform in both England and America. Claybaugh also argues for a new mode of transatlantic studies, one that focuses on the material networks that determine the ways in which the two nations imagined one another. |
