Reviews

"[...] wide-ranging, richly researched, and carefully analytical.--Matthew Pethers, University of Nottingham ""ALH Online Review"" Bridging literary and cultural studies, Stefanie Sch�fer considers the Yankee in various guises: as national representative, stage performer, wily businessman, and regional personality. With lively visual examples and rich archival materials, Yankee Yarns interrogates gendered and racialized notions of U.S. identity and offers fresh, valuable insights on the transatlantic creation of American character.--Leslie E. Eckel, Suffolk University"
