Summary
"In the first expansive study of American pastoral since Leo Marx's The Machine in the Garden, Ann Marie Mikkelsen reinvigorates discussion of this literary mode as a form of cultural commentary whose subjects extend beyond the simple or rustic life to encompass the major social, economic, and political transformations of the past century."--Provided by publisher.
