He co-edited Genius in Bondage: The Literature of the 18th Century Black Atlantic and The Cambridge Companion to 19thCentury American Women's Writing. He served as President of the Society of Early Americanists.<br>
<br> Writing Rebellion presents a methodologically rich approach to Loyalist writings that have fallen through the cracks of national literary histories. Much more than a recovery effort, Gould's important book reveals the dynamic relation between literary forms and Revolutionary conflict and shows how Loyalist aesthetics continue to resonate in liberal political theory. --Sandra Gustafson, author of Imagining Deliberative Democracy in the Early American Republic<br><p><br> Writing the Rebellion refocuses attention on the losers of the American Revolution--and on the experience of loss itself. Gould's Loyalists dissented from critical categories we now invoke to evaluate American political literature. Severing virtue from politics, suspicious of the seductions of language, Loyalists did not believe there was an American 'public' in revolutionary America. By carefully recovering their intellectual world, Gould gives us a timely reminder of the history of a divided country. --Eric Slauter, author of The State as a Work of Art: The Cultural Origins of theConstitution<p><br>
