Pairing literary criticism and historical analysis, Berlant explores the territory of this intimate public sphere through close readings of U.S. women’s literary works and their stage and film adaptations. Her interpretation ofUncle Tom’s Cabin and its literary descendants reaches from Harriet Beecher Stowe to Toni Morrison’sBeloved, touching on Shirley Temple, James Baldwin, and The Bridges of Madison County along the way. Berlant illuminates different permutations of the women’s intimate public through her readings of Edna Ferber’sShow Boat; Fannie Hurst’s Imitation of Life; Olive Higgins Prouty’s feminist melodramaNow, Voyager; Dorothy Parker’s poetry, prose, and Academy Award–winning screenplay forA Star Is Born; the Fay Weldon novel and Roseanne Barr film The Life and Loves of a She-Devil; and the queer, avant-garde filmShowboat 1988–The Remake. The Female Complaint is a major contribution from a leading Americanist.
