36 By focusing on male affect and love we are following recent trends in the
field. See especially George E. Haggerty, Men in Love: Masculinity and
Sexuality in the Eighteenth Century (New York: Columbia University Press,
1999) and Caleb Crain American Sympathy: Men, Friendship, and Literature in
the New Nation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 2001). An especially
important article is Anne G. Myles’s ‘Queering the Study of Early American
Sexuality’, William and Mary Quarterly 60.1 (January 2003): 199–202.
