Description

The rapid rise in popularity of maps and geography handbooks in the 18th century ushered in a new geographic literacy among nonelite Americans. Drawing on historical geography, cartography, literary history, and material culture, Bruckner argues that geographic literacy as it was played out in popular literary genres significantly influenced identity formation in America from the 1680s to the 1820s. Includes readings of work by William Byrd, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Royall Tyler, Charles Brockden Brown, Meriwether Lewis, and William Clark.
