L’extraordinaire développement de la petite presse littéraire qui a accompagné le mouvement symboliste est un phénomène remarquable de l’histoire littéraire. Laboratoire d’expérimentation pour les esthétiques d’avant-garde, mais aussi véritable invention médiatique, la petite revue constitue une appropriation des pratiques journalistiques, de la critique littéraire au premier chef. Quel rôle la critique périodique peut-elle jouer dans l’inscription de la littérature dans la modernité ? quel emploi constitue celui de critique en regard de celui d’artiste ? Au moment où les écrivains semblent considérer de la façon la plus radicale que l’avènement de l’ère médiatique porte en soi la mort de la littérature, la figure du jeune critique de revue émerge : lutteur intolérant, chroniqueur inlassable de l’actualité artistique et de la vie moderne, il s’impose comme l’interlocuteur indispensable du pur poète et comme une voix essentielle dans le système de communication littéraire qui se met en place dans les vingt dernières années du XIXe siècle.

From the patricians of the early republic to post-Reconstruction racial scientists, from fin de siècle progressivist social reformers to post-war sociologists, character, that curiously formable yet equally formidable “stuff,” has had a long and checkered history giving shape to the American national identity.Bodies of Reform reconceives this pivotal category of nineteenth-century literature and culture by charting the development of the concept of “character” in the fictional genres, social reform movements, and political cultures of the United States from the mid-nineteenth to the early-twentieth century. By reading novelists such as Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Pauline Hopkins, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman alongside a diverse collection of texts concerned with the mission of building character, including child-rearing guides, muscle-building magazines, libel and naturalization law, Scout handbooks, and success manuals, James B. Salazar uncovers how the cultural practices of representing character operated in tandem with the character-building strategies of social reformers. His innovative reading of this archive offers a radical revision of this defining category in U.S. literature and culture, arguing that character was the keystone of a cultural politics of embodiment, a politics that played a critical role in determining-and contesting-the social mobility, political authority, and cultural meaning of the raced and gendered body.
