This book posits time, not space, as the most significant territory of the young nation. It argues that beginning in the nineteenth century, the actual geography of the nation became less important, as Americans imagined the future as their true national territory. The book explores how transformations in the perception of time shaped American conceptions of democratic society and modern nationhood. 606 $aSpace and time$xSocial aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSpace and time$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aNationalism$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aDemocracy$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMaterial culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aAmerican literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpace and time in literature 607 $aUnited States$xIntellectual life$y1783-1865 607 $aUnited States$xSocial conditions$yTo 1865 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1783-1865 615 0$aSpace and time$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aSpace and time$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aDemocracy$xHistory 615 0$aMaterial culture$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpace and time in literature. 676 $a973.3 700 $aAllen$b Thomas M.$f1967-$01520829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788218703321 996 $aA republic in time$93759636 997 $aUNINA
