Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2006.

My dissertation uncovers a literature of rural reform that addresses the issue of social change in non-urban and non-industrial contexts. I read this literature in light of the nineteenth-century land reform movement, but my study goes beyond the theme of land to explore the complex relationship between agricultural labor, domesticity, and status in rural communities. I offer the term "rural reform" as a corrective to the dismissal of rural texts as "regional" or "local color" literature, a designation that has served to denigrate their cultural significance. Far from being peripheral to either national culture or an American literary canon, I contend that the literature of rural reform is actually central to understanding social development in the nineteenth-century United States. This literature encompasses Nathaniel Hawthorne's skeptical treatment of antebellum communitarian schemes in The Blithedale Romance (1852); the legacy of the Homestead Act that reverberates throughout Hamlin Garland's work; Charles Chesnutt's challenge to the land allocation policies of the Reconstruction South in The Conjure Woman (1899); and the discussion of the Dawes Act embedded within the novels of S. Alice Callahan and Helen Hunt Jackson. I argue that gathering these diverse voices under the heading of rural reform introduces a new vocabulary through which to analyze issues of social change, and reveals the ways in which representations of labor and the home shape the social changes at work in these texts. As these writers navigate the relationships that emerge from social change, they consider the ways in which reform impacts the meanings of race, class, and gender in a given context. I argue that critics' reliance upon these categories as the constitutive elements of social identity has obscured the representational strategies of writers who articulate status through a much more nuanced and complex set of relationships among land, home, and regional cultures of labor. Ultimately, my project proposes the study of agricultural labor as a productive category of literary analysis, revealing the valences of race, class, and gender to be contingent upon the cultural perceptions of agricultural labor in a given historical moment.
