“Brückner’s wide-ranging study offers a vibrant interdisciplinary account of the contribution of geographical literacy to the development of an Anglo-American cultural identity. This book compellingly shows how it was not the land, but its increasingly diversified representations that shaped the enterprise of national self-expression, consolidation, and imperial expansion.“
--Nancy Ruttenburg
“ a cross-disciplinary tour-de-force. Timely, imaginative, and well-written, it brings the map back into our understanding of early American literature, print culture, and national identity, and pushes us to remap all three. I’ll never look at a plator a plotthe same way again.”
--David Waldstreicher
“The Geographic Revolution in Early America charts the complicated symbolics of a new nation attempting to move out of its colonial status and into independent nationhood. This is a groundbreaking study of the intertwined relationships between commodity capitalism and the environment, literacy and ideology.”
