Reviews
"The Monks of Monk Hall deserves always to be in print. A thoroughly challenging book, it contains much that is surprising and greatly illuminates urban America in its period. . . . It would make a superb supplemental reading for the first half of the U.S. history survey, raising vital issues regarding race, gender, and religion in antebellum America. . . . No scholar is more knowledgeable on George Lippard that David Reynolds."--David Roediger, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities "In The Quaker City, Lippard is negotiating a great many early nineteeth-century concerns over transitions in the status of masculinity and femininity in working- and middle-class cultures. . . . The book will have a terrific appeal in American literature courses, given the current focus on both canon expansion and the 'new historicism.' It should also find a home in courses in American studies, U.S. history, and women's and gender studies."--Dana D. Nelson, Louisiana State University "Lippard is essential to any revisionist study or examination of nineteenth-century American literature, to nineteenth-century social history, to popular culture, to historical cultural studies, and to working-class history and literature."--Sheila Post-Lauria, University of Massachusetts, Boston, " The Monks of Monk Hall deserves always to be in print.
