Opis

Examines how early American writers thought about the spaces around them. The contributors reconsider the various roles regions - imagined politically, economically, racially, and figuratively - played in the formation of American communities. More than simply offering a prehistory of regionalist writing, these essays offer new ways of theorizing and studying regional spaces in the United States.
