Book Description
"“Luciano's
Arranging Grief is a tour de force of literary-historical scholarship, blending close reading and a broad grasp of nineteenth century American culture to produce a truly illuminating account of what Luciano calls that culture's `attachment to attachment.' Tracking the manifold uses to which grief was put in the period, from the most public to the most interior, Luciano makes it possible for the reader to understand the way that grief shapes bodies by shaping time.
Arranging Grief will be indispensable reading for scholars of emotion, sexuality, temporality, and the history of national imaginaries.”
—Christopher Nealon, author of Foundlings: Lesbian and Gay Historical Emotion Before Stonewall
Tracing the proliferation of forms of mourning and memorial across a century increasingly concerned with their historical and temporal significance, Arranging Grief offers a much-needed new view of the aesthetic, social, and political implications of emotion.
Considering a diversity of texts, including mourning manuals, sermons, memorial tracts, poetry, and fiction by writers such as James Fenimore Cooper, Catharine Maria Sedgwick, Susan Warner, Harriet E. Wilson, Herman Melville, Frances E. W. Harper, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Elizabeth Keckley and Ralph Waldo Emerson, Dana Luciano illustrates the ways that grief coupled the feeling body to time.
Nineteenth-century appeals to grief, as Luciano demonstrates, proliferated modes of “sacred time” across both religious and ostensibly secular frameworks, at once authorizing and unsettling established forms of connection to the past and the future. Drawing on formalist, Foucauldian and psychoanalytic criticism, Arranging Grief shows that literary engagements with grief offered ways of challenging deep-seated cultural assumptions about history, progress, bodies, and behaviors.
