Tuotteen kuvaus: Longing for Connection: Entangled Memories and Emotional Loss in Early America

Untangling the private feelings, ambitions and fears of early Americans through their personal writings from the Revolution to the Civil War. Illustrations.
Untangling the private feelings and fears of early Americans through their personal writings from the Revolution to the Civil War, this book shows how they expressed deep emotions through shared metaphors and borrowed verse in their longing for meaning and connection as they navigated an anxious world where connection across spaces was difficult.
Untangling the private feelings, ambitions, and fears of early Americans through their personal writings from the Revolution to the Civil War.Modern readers of history and biography unite around a seemingly straightforward question: What did it feel like to live in the past? In Longing for Connection, historian Andrew Burstein attempts to answer this question with a vigorous, nuanced emotional history of the United States from its founding to the Civil War. Through an examination of the letters, diaries, and other personal texts of the time, along with popular poetry and novels, Burstein shows us how early Americans expressed deep emotions through shared metaphors and borrowed verse in their longing for meaning and connection. He reveals how literate, educated Americans—both well-known and more obscure—expressed their feelings to each other and made attempts at humor, navigating an anxious world in which connection across spaces was difficult to capture. In studying the power of poetry and literature as expressions of inner life, Burstein conveys the tastes of early Americans and illustrates how emotions worked to fashion myths of epic heroes, such as the martyr Nathan Hale, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. He also studies the public's fears of ocean travel, their racial blind spots, and their remarkable facility for political satire.Burstein questions why we seek a connection to the past and its emotions in the first place. America, he argues, is shaped by a persistent belief that the past is reachable and that its lessons remain intact, which represents a major obstacle in any effort to understand our national history. Burstein shows, finally, that modern readers exhibit a similar capacity for rationalization and that dire longing for connection across time and space as the people he studies.
