Excellent- More about Yankee Yarns: Storytelling and the Invention of the National Body in Nineteenth-Century American Culture
Stefanie Schfer's book explores the Yankee's ambiguity as an invention of transatlantic origin, straddling regional and sectional, rural and urban, working class and bourgeois US identities, becoming the hegemonic embodiment of US national character, political and material culture, and imperial fantasies.

Stefanie Schfer's book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the Yankee's multifaceted nature. By examining Yankee Doodle, Brother Jonathan, Uncle Sam, the Yankee Peddler, and the Down Easter, she reveals the Yankee's ambiguity, which relies on storytelling and deceit. A transatlantic creation, the Yankee embodies various US identities, spanning regional, sectional, rural, and urban divides, as well as the working class and the bourgeoisie. For nineteenth-century audiences both domestically and internationally, the Yankee became the dominant representation of the US national character, encompassing its political and material culture and serving as the embodiment of its imperial aspirations.
