-Journal of American History

"Love's Whipping Boy persuasively reveals the messages of violence that have always been in residence behind accounts of democracy and the novel alike. This is a nuanced, compelling, and provocative addition to nineteenth-century U.S. literary criticism."--Shirley Samuels, Cornell University Working to reconcile the Christian dictum to "love one's neighbor as oneself" with evidence of U.S. sociopolitical aggression, including slavery, corporal punishment of children, and Indian removal, Barnes focuses on aggressors--rather than the weak or abused--to understand paradoxical relationships between empathy, violence, and religion that took hold so strongly in nineteenth-century American culture.
