In this rich and evocative collection of agrarian writing from the past two centuries, writers from Hector St. Jean de Crevecoeur to Wendell Berry reveal not only the great reach and durability of the American agrarian ideal, but also the ways in which society has contested and confronted its relationship to agriculture over the course of generations. Drawing inspiration from Virgil's agrarian epic poem, Georgics, this collection presents a complex historical portrait of the American character through its relationship to the land. From the first European settlers eager to cultivate new soil, to the Transcendentalist, utopian, and religious thinkers of the nineteenth century, American society has drawn upon the vision of a pure rural life for inspiration. Back-to-the-land movements have surged and retreated in the past centuries yet provided the agrarian roots for the environmental movement of the past forty years. Interpretative essays and a sprinkling of illustrations accompany excerpts from each of these periods of American agrarian thought, providing a framework for understanding the sweeping changes that have confronted the nations landscape. 000433204 650_0 $$aAgricultural ecology$$zUnited States. 000433204 650_0 $$aAgriculture$$zUnited States$$xHistory. 000433204 7001_ $$aDonahue, Brian,$$d1955- 000433204 7001_ $$aGregg, Sara M. 000433204 7001_ $$aHagenstein, Edwin C. 000433204 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tAmerican georgics.$$dNew Haven [Conn.] : Yale University Press, 2011$$z9780300137095$$w(DLC) 2010045042$$w(OCoLC)670481345 000433204 830_0 $$aYale agrarian studies. 000433204 8520_ $$bacq 000433204 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000433204 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000433204 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3420679$$zOnline Access 000433204 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3420679$$zOnline Access 000433204 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:433204$$pGLOBAL_SET 000433204 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000433204 980__ $$aBIB 000433204 982__ $$aEbook 000433204 983__ $$aOnline
