Book Synopsis
Traces the attack on American provincialism that ended the myth of the Happy Village. Replacing the idyllic life as a theme, American writers in revolt turned to a more realistic interpretation of the town, stressing its repressiveness, dullness, and conformity. This book analyses the literary technique employed by these writers and evaluates their contributions to American thought.
