White concentrates his study in Pennsylvania, a state in which the majority of the population was rural, and in Philadelphia, a city that was a center of publishing and politics and the national capital for a decade. Against this backdrop, White reads classic political texts such as Crv̈ecoeur's Letters from an American Farmer, Franklin's Autobiography, and Paine's "Agrarian Justice," alongside missionary and captivity narratives, farmers' petitions, and Native American treaties. Using historical and ethnographic sources to enrich familiar texts, White demonstrates the importance of rural areas in the study of U.S. nation formation and finds unexpected continuities between the early colonial period and the federal ascendancy of the 1790s.American literatureColonial periodCity and town lifeHistoriographyNordamerikahistoria1700-taletsaoNordamerikaidszbzNordamerikagndFrontiergndNorth Americahttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJxRHKPqWyj6g89H9PwHmdfastAmerique du NordConditions ruralesAmerique du NordColonisationAmerique du NordHistoireca 1600-1775 (Periode coloniale)HistoriographieAmerique du NordHistoireca 1600-1775 (Periode coloniale)North AmericaRural conditionsNorth AmericaColonizationNorth AmericaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775HistoriographyNorth AmericaHistoryColonial period, ca. 1600-1775History.Criticism, interpretation, etc.American literatureColonial period.City and town life.Historiography.320.973/09/033White Ed1850769Big Ten Academic Alliance.FunderMdBmJHUPMdBmJHUPBOOK9911018869303321The Backcountry and the City4443952UNINA
