reviewed Through a Glass Darkly: Reflections on Personal Identity in Early America on September 06, 2010 Through a Glass Darkly: Reflections on Personal Identity in Early America
A first-rate collection of essays. These authors demonstrate the potential of cultural history to illuminate unexplored recesses of experience and mindset. They dig deep into individual lives and then link them together by tracing out the social expectations that defined their meaning. For the most part, fortunately, these essays are not overtheorized; each author carefully explains her theoretical approach (anthropology and psychology, including psychoanalytic theory, are prominent) but devotes most of her space to the particular story she wants to tell. These articles set an inspiring example.
