Book Description
As Boeckmann explains, this emphasis on character meant that race was not only a thematic concern in the literature of the period but also a generic or formal one as well." "Boeckmann explores the intersections between race and literary history by tracing the language of character through both scientific and literary writing."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Thomas Dixon, Jr. is best remembered as the author of the racist novels that served as the basis for D. W. Griffith's controversial 1915 classic film The Birth of a Nation. He also enjoyed great renown during his lifetime as a minister, lecturer, lawyer, and actor. In Thomas Dixon Jr. and the Birth of Modern America, distinguished scholars of religion, film, literature, music history and gender studies offer a provocative examination of Dixon's ideas, personal life and career and, in the process, illuminate the evolution of white racist ideas in the early twentieth century, and their legacy.
