SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"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
