Hogan examines how important, post-Civil War authors imagined American identity—understood as universal, democratic egalitarianism—when faced with the nation’s often brutal inequalities of race, sex, and sexuality. In Hogan’s analysis, this imagination is inseparable from the narrative structures favored by the human mind.
