Essays that fuse literary scholarship and personal travelogue to explore American identity

Explores a two-part question: what does travel teach us about literature, and how can reading guide us to a deeper understanding of place and identity? Thomas Hallock charts a teacher's journey to answering these questions, framing personal experiences around the continued need for a survey course covering early American literature.

The essays in this volume interrogate the unique and often problematic relationship between early modern cultural studies and ecocriticism, providing theoretical insights and models for a future practice that successfully wed the two disciplines.
