Synopsis "Yankee Yarns: Storytelling and the Invention of the National Body in Nineteenth-Century American Culture (Edinburgh Critical Studies in Atlantic Literatures and Cultures)"
In this book, Stefanie Schäfer provides the first study of the Yankees many facets. Reading together Yankee Doodle, Brother Jonathan, Uncle Sam, the Yankee Peddler and the Down Easter, she highlights the Yankees ambiguity: His performance hinges on storytelling and fraudulence. An invention of transatlantic origin, the Yankee straddles regional and sectional, rural and urban, working class and bourgeois US identities. For nineteenth-century audiences at home and abroad, he becomes the hegemonic embodiment of US national character, its political and material culture and the homespun agent of its imperial fantasies.
