Özet:
"Quakerism, Silence, and the Religious Body in American Literature, 1650--1865" joins ongoing efforts to revitalize critical knowledge of religious life and its expression in the study of American literature. Anchored in the archives, this dissertation investigates the quiet prevalence of Atlantic Quakerism in the early literature of the hemispheric Americas, moving through the nineteenth century. The project argues that the lived practices of Quaker people are essential to resolving the enduring paradox of Quakerism's relationship to American literature: while Quaker people figure prominently in the colonial histories of New England, Pennsylvania, and the Carolinas, as well as Barbados and Jamaica, and appear widely in major works of American literature into the nineteenth century, the critical study of Quakerism in these histories has been quieted, relegated to a muted backbeat of Protestant Puritanism's melodic legacy. The "silence" of the title denotes both the methods and stakes of my project. At once, it invokes the lived Quaker practice of silent worship, while also naming the critical, field-specific absence that the project undertakes to address. This project pursues constitutional questions about what and who composes Quakerism in the seventeenth and eighteenth century. It asks how Quakerism was understood by Friends, as well as how the Society of Friends was seen, articulated, and used by those who were drawn to it. From Barbados and Pennsylvania, to the unanchored Nantucket whaleship, this investigation ranges over the significant impact Quakerism has on American literary history and argues for the complexity of Quaker life within the archives of American literature.
