- More about Yankee Yarns: Storytelling and the Invention of the National Body in Nineteenth-Century American Culture
Stefanie Schäfer's book explores the Yankees' 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 and imperial fantasies.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 324 pages
Publication date: 18 February 2023
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
Stefanie Schäfer's book offers the first comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted nature of the Yankees. By examining Yankee Doodle, Brother Jonathan, Uncle Sam, the Yankee Peddler, and the Down Easter, Schäfer highlights the ambiguity inherent in the Yankee character. An invention of transatlantic origin, the Yankee embodies regional and sectional, rural and urban, working-class and bourgeois US identities. For nineteenth-century audiences both at home and abroad, the Yankee became the dominant embodiment of US national character, its political and material culture, and the homespun agent of its imperial fantasies.
