side her theoretical exploration of an expanded concept of the archive, colonial fantasy, and “true relations,” provides fresh insights into the archives and texts that underlie all scholarly attempts to write literary history and challenge us to rethink and restructure the ways we excavate, interpret, and tell such stories. If, at moments, Bross seems to push the limits of informed speculation, the theoretical approach that grounds her combination of imagination and interpretation is rigorously articulated and “should spur us to return to the written record of early globalism, to trace the threads that connected the metropole to even the most unlikely places and people worldwide” (198).

退伍军人：本杰明·库珀（Benjamin Cooper）从革命到重建的文学和公民身份

除了她对档案、殖民幻想和“真实关系”的扩展概念的理论探索之外，她对档案和文本提供了新的见解，这些档案和文本是所有撰写文学史的学术尝试的基础，并挑战我们重新思考和重组我们挖掘的方式，解释，讲述这样的故事。如果在某些时候，布罗斯似乎突破了知情推测的极限，那么她将想象和解释相结合的理论方法得到了严格的阐述，并且“应该促使我们回到早期全球主义的书面记录，追踪连接即使是世界上最不可能的地方和人的大都会”（198）。
