The contributors reconsider the various roles regions--imagined politically, economically, racially, and figuratively--played in the formation of American communities, both real and imagined. The texts they study--some canonical, others archival, some literary, others scientific, polemical, or documentary--create and reveal important mental mappings and cartographies that reveal how a diversity of populations imagined themselves, their communities, and their nation as occupying various places in the American landscape"--Provided by publisher.American literatureColonial period, ca. 1600-1775History and criticismAmerican literatureRevolutionary period, 1775-1783History and criticismAmerican literature1783-1850History and criticismRegionalism in literatureSpace perception in literatureLandscapes in literatureGeographical perception in literatureCommunity life in literatureElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.Regionalism in literature.Space perception in literature.Landscapes in literature.Geographical perception in literature.Community life in literature.810.9/001Watts Edward1964-Holt KeriFunchion JohnMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461048003321Mapping region in early American writing2132471UNINA
