Healing the Republic: The Language of Health and the Culture of Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century America (Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture) Book

The creation of an American national culture in the nineteenth century coincided with a common belief that the emerging nation was diseased and in need of healing. Reading nineteenth- century narratives of health by a wide variety of authors, Burbick exposes the fears and conflicts underlying the creation of an American national culture. No previous study examines the full range of cultural writings on health. In studying these narratives of the body, this work concludes that a fundamental uneasiness about democracy may result in a collective, willful effort to control the body trope as a means of composing social order.Read More
