Through written responses to historical crises from early New England through the pre-Civil War period, McWilliams argues that the meaning of 'New England' despite claims for its consistency was continuously reformulated. The significance of past crises was forever being reinterpreted for the purpose of meeting succeeding crises. The crises he examines include starvation, the Indian wars, the Salem witch trials, the revolution of 1775-76 and slavery. Integrating history, literature, politics and religion this is one of the most comprehensive studies of the meaning of 'New England' to appear in print. McWilliams considers a range of writing including George Bancroft's History of the United States, the political essays of Samuel Adams, the fiction of Nathaniel Hawthorne and the poetry of Robert Lowell. This compelling book is essential reading for historians and literary critics of New England. 410 0$aCambridge studies in American literature and culture ;$v142. 517 3 $aNew England's Crises & Cultural Memory 606 $aAmerican literature$zNew England$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPolitics and literature$zNew England$xHistory 606 $aReligion and literature$zNew England$xHistory 606 $aLiterature and history$zNew England$xHistory 607 $aNew England$xIntellectual life 607 $aNew England$xHistoriography 607 $aNew England$xIn literature 607 $aNew England$xHistory 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPolitics and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory. 615 0$aLiterature and history$xHistory. 676 $a810.9/358 700 $aMcWilliams$b John P$g(John Probasco),$01596693 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910828051603321 996 $aNew England's crises and cultural memory$93918163 997 $aUNINA
