- Speech and Action in Antebellum American Literature

Bag om Performatively Speaking

Draws on speech act theory to open up the current critical conversation about antebellum American fiction and culture and to explore what happens when writers use words not just to represent action but to constitute action itself. Examining moments of discursive action in a range of works Debra Rosenthal shows how words act when writers no longer hold to a difference between writing and doing.
