Palmer argues, "a middleclass writer who works for the national literary market does not destroy the place but rather indexes the way that the place acts upon the middle-class writer" (10). Palmer's chapters focus on Caroline Kirkland, Eliza Farnham, and Rose Terry Cooke; Bret Harte and Sarah Orne Jewett; Rebecca Harding Davis and Thomas Detter; William Dean Howells; and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps. Her work is historically grounded, attentive to the text as a site of meaning, and an engaging read.
