- 1997, Michael Newbury, Figuring authorship in antebellum America, page 64:
- If the seed packets (and the absence of seeds in them) begin to suggest the generative sterility-in-mass-production, the incapacity of those in a female workforce to conceive, the antigenerative quality of this work becomes still more apparent when we consider in greater detail the paper that the mill produces.

- Her desire is a desire to die, and the dark tomb is described as her bridal chamber. She is placed at the end of generations: an antigenerative force, childless, perverted, an incestuous offspring.
