The Culture of Sentiment cover

This collection of critical essays develops the study of nineteenth-century sentimentality by examining it in light of the so-called `women's culture' and of issues of race.

'Samuels must be commended for assembling fifteen essays that so skillfully discuss the central and wide-ranging position of sentimentalism in American culture. This volume is rich with insight.' Greg Camfield, University of Pennsylvania, Nineteenth-Century Literature 48:2 (September 1993)
