Summary

This book is a comprehensive, original, and critical reevaluation of masculine sentiment in American literature and culture. It challenges the association of sentimentality as associated exclusively with femininity in American culture, and examines sentiment as literary genre, rhetorical mode, as well as a manifestation of practical consciousness.
