Joshua M. Zeitz

4.9/5 (21396 ratings)

Description:The development of the American nation has typically been interpreted in terms of its expansion through space, specifically its growth westward. In this innovative study, Thomas Allen posits time, not space, as the most significant territory of the young nation. He focuses on three ways of imagining time: the romantic historical time that prevailed at the outset of the nineteenth century, geological "deep time," and the technology-driven "clock time" that became central to American culture by century's end. Allen analyzes cultural artifacts ranging from clocks and scientific treatises to paintings and literary narratives to show how Americans made use of these diverse ideas about time to create competing visions of American nationhood.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
