Thesis (Ph.D.)--State University of New York at Albany, 2015.

This dissertation explores the ways in which the nineteenth century American Romance creates a unique set of conditions that allows for socially constructed representations of experiences of heroines in four widely circulated, yet disparate works of literature. Through a reading of American Romances that span one hundred years of literature that includes Susanna Rowson's Charlotte Temple, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, Henry James' The Portrait of a Lady and Kate Chopin's The Awakening, this study considers the established criterion governing Romance in the American novel, and takes up what the interpretive tradition largely ignores: the aesthetics of the disappearance of the self of each of these heroines, their contribution to the long historical tradition of Romance as a mode of literary expression and their negotiation of a process which largely reveals their understanding of their own limitations within the confines of the human condition. (Re)reading the genre of American Romance through this select body of works allows for an understanding of both phenomenological quest for `self' as well as the disappearance of self as it is reflected within this particular mode in the first century of post-Revolutionary American Literature.
