Recenzje

Greyser maps a new route through the debate over the political and moral efficacy of the sentimental mode. Through erudite analysis and personal reflection, she shows us the value in the pursuit of reciprocity, even when it fails. A vital study, On Sympathetic Grounds challenges accounts of sentimentalism as a white woman's genre taken up by people of color, uncovering mutual appropriations and revisionary projects.
