- Double-weighted statement
- This 110,000-word monograph makes an argument about the materiality and meanings of colour in a range of cultural domains in the US between roughly 1880 and 1930. It spans canonical and non-canonical literary texts, philosophy, psychology, education, visual art, and anthropology, and it builds on extensive research undertaken over a ten-year period. It brings together US literary studies with the history of colour to make an original argument both about this understudied period of US literary history and about the relationship between literary language and pragmatist notions of experience.
