Voices of the Nation

Voices of the Nation: Women and Public Speech in Nineteenth-Century American Literature and Culture Throughout the nineteenth century, writers such as Henry James, William Dean Howells and Noah Webster displayed a fascination with womens speech. Voices of the Nation argues that these recurring descriptions also performed political work that has had a profound - though unspecified to date - impact on American culture.
