Book Description:
|
Appalachian Pastoral rethinks how 19th-century travel narratives into Appalachia deliberately incorporate British landscape aesthetics as a mediating literary device with a somewhat inconceivable real-world environment and terrain. The book uses modern-day approaches to the environment (ecocriticism) to provide a new vocabulary for understanding these little-known, antebellum, first-person works.
