    Race, Work and Desire analyses literary representations of work relationships across the colour-line from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Michele Birnbaum examines inter-racial bonds in fiction and literary correspondence by black and white authors and artists - including Elizabeth Keckley, Frances E. W. Harper, W. D. Howells, Grace King, Kate Chopin, Langston Hughes, Amy Spingarn and Carl Van Vechten - exploring the way servants and employers, doctors and patients, and patrons and artists negotiate their racial differences for artistic and political ends. Situating these relationships in literary and cultural context, Birnbaum argues that the literature reveals the complexity of cross-racial relations in the workplace, which, although often represented as an oasis of racial harmony, is in fact the very site where race politics are most fiercely engaged. This study productively complicates current debates about cross-racial collaboration in American literary and race studies, and will be of interest to scholars in both literary and cultural studies

    "In this study, Kristin A. Pruitt offers a close reading of pivotal passages and critical concerns in Paradise Lost and examines Milton's presentation of Adam and Eve's relationship through the intersections of theology and gender in the poem. Pruitt demonstrates the Milton "marriage" of theme and structure through an emphasis on the dynamic and restorative power of relationships." "By delving into eight seventeenth century commentaries on Genesis, Pruitt examines the various depictions of Eve and presents Milton's Eve and her relationship with Adam. She reveals how Milton rejects, adopts, adapts, and interrogates those interpretations so that what emerges is a remarkably positive characterization of woman in what is, before the Fall at least, a remarkably egalitarian marriage. So while one can find, without much difficulty, patriarchal and misogynistic statements in Paradise Lost, such statements run counter to Milton's portrayal of first woman, as though his imagined Eve breaks out of the limitations imposed upon her by most seventeenth century biblical exegesis." "Milton's extensive use of dialectic results in a text in which ideologies related to gender and hierarchy collide, compete and unsettle. However, Pruitt avers, Milton also encodes the potential for resolution, for dialectic as synthesis, through his focus on the power of relationship between Father and Son, between divine and human, and between male and female."--BOOK JACKET.

    Race, Work and Desire analyses literary representations of work relationships across the colour-line from the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century. Michele Birnbaum examines inter-racial bonds in fiction and literary correspondence by black and white authors and artists - including Elizabeth Keckley, Frances E. W. Harper, W. D. Howells, Grace King, Kate Chopin, Langston Hughes, Amy Spingarn and Carl Van Vechten - exploring the way servants and employers, doctors and patients, and patrons and artists negotiate their racial differences for artistic and political ends. Situating these relationships in literary and cultural context, Birnbaum argues that the literature reveals the complexity of cross-racial relations in the workplace, which, although often represented as an oasis of racial harmony, is in fact the very site where race politics are most fiercely engaged. This study productively complicates current debates about cross-racial collaboration in American literary and race studies, and will be of interest to scholars in both literary and cultural studies Introduction: working relations and racial desire -- Dressing down the first lady: Elizabeth Keckley's Behind the scenes, or thirty years a slave and four years in the White House -- Off-color patients in Frances E.W.
