reviewed Women, Compulsion, Modernity: The Moment of American Naturalism on August 01, 2014 Women, Compulsion, Modernity: The Moment of American Naturalism
It's hard to ask for much more from a scholarly text than this. Fleissner produces readings of primary texts as well as the history of scholarship; readings that expand the bounds of historicism and feminist criticism and yet are compelling in their own right (the one I would quibble with most is the chapter that touches on regionalism and Mary E. Wilkins [Freeman]). Arguments make complex (and satisfying) turns but are nonetheless accessibly written; some places might be a bit digressive, but the arc of an argument or chapter is always evident.
