Críticas:

...the most moving criticism ever written about this primordial painter. (Bonnie Barrett Stretch, Art News)

A breathtaking achievement. Barbara Novak's brilliant inquiry into the transactions of the American self both accepts the mystery of America's many dualities and explains how they coexist and even reinforce each other. (Marc Pachter, Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Smithsonian Institution)

Reseña del editor:

Voyages of the Self in America will complete Novak's trilogy on American art and culture. Through reading paintings and texts from the same period against each other, Novak shows how the meaning of self has influenced and changed through American identity and culture from the late 18th to the 20th century.
