It remaps sentiment's familiar transatlantic and national scholarly frameworks through authors such as Leonora Sansay and Mary Peabody Mann, and considers how authors including John Rollin Ridge, John S. and Harriet Jacobs, María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, Victor Séjour, and Martin R. Delany adapted the mode. Transamerican sentimentalism cannot unseat the violence of the nineteenth-century Americas, but it does produce other potential outcomes-including new paradigms for understanding the coquette, a locally successful informal diplomacy, and motivations for violent slave revolt. Such transformations mark not sentiment's failures or distortions, but its adaptive attempts to survive and thrive.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaria Windell, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor, University of Colorado Boulder\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMaria Windell is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Colorado Boulder.
