Sanford, Associate Professor of Language and Literature at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. 12mo (7 inches). softcover. faded. chipped front lower joint. spine creased from wear. light tanning. binder tight. published 1964. 443 pages. 108 documents. 48 pages of plate illustrations (engravings and lithographs of the time period). We are always in transition. Every period of human culture is a formative period, consolidating or intensifying certain tendencies already in existence and releasing new forces which make the future uncertain and different. 1810 - 1824 has a special significance. This period makes an important turning point in American civilization, when a a unified and stable agrarian society began to break up and old certitudes of the past two hundred years began to be replaced by the restlessness and insecurity familiar today. The documents in this volume, visual and verbal, seem to support such an interpretation. condition: Good.
