At once a literary biography of a fascinating and influential American writer and a case study that reinvigorates scholarly engagement with other Genteel writers, this work is the first book-length study of Taylor in forty years. This critical reconsideration of Taylor’s life and works demonstrates his importance for scholars of nineteenth-century American literature and history, gender and queer studies, and diplomatic history.
