Rather than assuming a homogeneous South, Templeton locates Southern pastoral in its specific political context, offering readings of significant factors such as the literary representation of landscape, of class and the yeoman ideal, and the institution of slavery and its intellectual underpinnings. Focusing on a six key Southern authors, both canonical and relatively understudied, the book charts key transformations in the politics of pastoral literature in the period, and noteworthy reconfigurations in the representation of Jefferson and his philosophies, in order to analyze what these signified to nineteenth-century Americans. In doing so, the text also demonstrates how ideologies react to the stresses imposed on them by political realities. 606 $aLiterature, Modern$x19th century 606 $aAmerica$xLiteratures 606 $aUnited States$xHistory 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aNorth American Literature 606 $aUS History 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$x19th century. 615 0$aAmerica$xLiteratures. 615 0$aUnited States$xHistory. 615 14$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aNorth American Literature. 615 24$aUS History. 676 $a828.10809 676 $a813.309355 700 $aTempleton$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01077862 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484666703321 996 $aThe Politics of Southern Pastoral Literature, 1785?1885$92589398 997 $aUNINA
