Summary:

"Hogan examines how important, post-Civil War authors imagined American identity-understood as universal, democratic egalitarianism-when faced with the nation's often brutal inequalities of race, sex, and sexuality. In Hogan's analysis, this imagination is inseparable from the narrative structures favored by the human mind"-- Provided by publisher.
