The Art of Retreat examines the ideal of domestic retreat as it first emerges as a political and cultural fantasy in the early United States. Reconstructing a spectrum of alternative precedents to the familiar ideology of domesticity, this book upends our gendered narratives of nineteenth century literary culture.
