I contrast the Autobiography’s version of US urban space as a replicable franchise city to the transgressive city constructed in The Female Marine. The Female Marine’s protagonist, Lucy Brewer, seduced, abandoned, and working as a prostitute in Boston, disguises herself as a young male sailor to serve on the USS Constitution during the War of 1812. Easily read as political allegory for Boston’s shifting wartime loyalties, The Female Marine also marks a critical transition in US urban literature. Coverly rewrites the seduction tale to allow for female urban success, foreshadowing the racy female libertines of the 1840s sporting press.

In El Morro (1984), Powell pairs his Austin-obsessed heroine Aria with an attractive western guide named Stone, who remembers hoisting the cantankerous Austin up El M ono’s steep trails in the early days of his career. With Stone’s help, Aria reconstructs the journey through Arizona and New Mexico that Austin describes in The Land of Journeys’ Ending. Aria is devoted to Austin’s text.

I highlight gendered models of urban mobility and education by contrasting Foster’s texts to the first Franklinian formulations of city- and self-making that had become available to American readers in 1794. Uniquely among the texts in Urban Rehearsals, Foster’s books are set in the present and contain letters written by young white urban characters that describe the particular places within and among which they move. Most readers of early American novels are familiar with The Coquette, in which seduction turns Eliza Wharton’s spirited mobility into tragic stasis, just as it did for the real Elizabeth Whitman and the fictional Charlotte Temple.

In Kelroy, Rebecca Rush constructs—and distorts—a Philadelphia of the past that offers a useful window on fantasies and anxieties about US urban life and urban spaces on the cusp of great political and cultural change. Set in 1790s Philadelphia, which by 1812 was fading into memory, Kelroy actively frames and fictionalizes a vision of a past Philadelphia that looks toward a different future than earlier authors imagined. Kelroy teaches cosmopolitan codes of gentility but violently undermines them as well. The novel thus reveals and emphasizes the limits of self-making, especially for the women, immigrants, and working-class people who might benefit most from performative modes of status and power.

Through mobility both free and forced, these novels’ protagonists traverse numerous developing cities including Boston, New York, and Philadelphia; inhabit a variety of urban domestic and institutional settings ranging from palaces to prisons; and call attention to the complex causes of urban poverty. They also move outside of the US to Europe, the Americas, and San Domingo, positioning women as key participants in the dissemination and transformation of urbanity.

Though printing Pamela was not a successful venture for Benjamin Franklin, abridged versions of Pamela that eliminated Richardson’s use of dialogue would become popular with US readers later on. But Americans could find snappy repartée on stage in English comedies both before and after independence.

Philadelphia was the young republic’s most cosmopolitan and diverse city. Yet its social landscape was fragmented and fragile, threatened by disease, economic instability, and national consolidation. The crisis of repeated fever outbreaks forced Philadelphians out of their religious and class circles toward a more connected urbanity. This chapter argues that in the wake of the epidemic, readers in Philadelphia initially bypassed realistic narratives of suffering, including printer Mathew Carey’s multiple Accounts of the Yellow Fever (1793–94) to seek the shared comfort of sympathy in the more generic tragedy of Susanna Rowson’s Charlotte, A Tale of Truth (1791, London; 1794, Philadelphia), the novel we now know as Charlotte Temple. Just as Carey found refuge in the theater, his customers eagerly immersed themselves in Rowson’s melodramatic text, making Charlotte the nation’s...","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/72250323/Philadelphia_s_Fevered_Readers","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-02-22T12:31:52.194-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":44151013,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Philadelphia_s_Fevered_Readers","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":44151013,"first_name":"Betsy","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Klimasmith","page_name":"BetsyKlimasmith","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2016-02-29T06:04:10.662-08:00","display_name":"Betsy Klimasmith","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/BetsyKlimasmith"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="72250322"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/72250322/Kelroy_s_Shifting_City"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Kelroy’s Shifting City" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/72250322/Kelroy_s_Shifting_City">Kelroy’s Shifting City</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Urban Rehearsals and Novel Plots in the Early American City</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Chapter 6, “Kelroy’s Shifting City,” centers on Rebecca Rush’s 1812 Philadelphia novel Kelroy, wh...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Chapter 6, “Kelroy’s Shifting City,” centers on Rebecca Rush’s 1812 Philadelphia novel Kelroy, which charts Philadelphia’s transition from a cosmopolitan urbanity where family, blood, and inheritance are reliable indicators of class and status, to a more fluid and performative urbanity.
