Landscape And Written Expression In Revolutionary America /
Lawson Peebles, Robert.
Landscape And Written Expression In Revolutionary America / Robert Lawson-Peebles - 1st edition - New York : Cambridge , 2008. - xiii, 384 p
This book attempts an interpretation of Revolutionary American culture. It argues that the cultural identity of the United States, like its political identity, emerged from a quarrel with the Old World. Europeans believed that the Revolution had 'turned the world upside down.' American intellectuals tried to construct a republic which refuted European criticism. They failed, but in failing they created an attitude to the terrain which became a central theme in American culture
