Overview

Confessional Crises and Cultural Politics in Twentieth-Century America revolutionises how we think about confession and its ubiquitous place in American culture. It argues that the sheer act of labelling a text a confession has become one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, forms of intervening in American cultural politics. In the twentieth century alone, the genre of confession has profoundly shaped (and been shaped by) six of America's most intractable cultural issues: sexuality, class, race, violence, religion, and democracy.

Reviews

Just as any good book should do, Confessional Crises and Cultural Politics in Twentieth-Century America pushed me to ask new questions with fresh vocabulary and methods. Tell s writing is deeply compelling. His work combines the best of archival research, rhetorical criticism, and narrative. Jenny Rice, Rhetoric Society Quarterly
