| Zusammenfassung: | Even before the Civil War, American writers were imagining life after a massive global catastrophe. For many, the blank slate of the American continent was instead a wreckage-strewn wasteland, a new world in ruins. Bringing together epic and lyric poems, fictional tales, travel narratives, and scientific texts, Postapocalyptic Fantasies in Antebellum American Literature reveals that US authors who enthusiastically celebrated the myths of primeval wilderness and virgin land also frequently resorted to speculations about the annihilation of civilizations, past and future. By examining such postapocalyptic fantasies, this study recovers an antebellum rhetoric untethered to claims for historical exceptionalism - a patriotic rhetoric that celebrates America while denying the United States a unique position outside of world history. As the scientific field of natural history produced new theories regarding biological extinction, geological transformation, and environmental collapse, American writers responded with wild visions of the ancient past and the distant future. |

By examining such postapocalyptic fantasies, this study recovers an antebellum rhetoric untethered to claims for historical exceptionalism - a patriotic rhetoric that celebrates America while denying the United States a unique position outside of world history. As the scientific field of natural history produced new theories regarding biological extinction, geological transformation, and environmental collapse, American writers responded with wild visions of the ancient past and the distant future.</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="0" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Cover -- Half-title page -- Series page -- Title page -- Copyright page -- Contents -- List of Illustrations -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction A New World in Ruins -- The Postapocalyptic Fantasy: Semi-Secular Timescapes -- Accelerated Decrepitude: Rapid Progress and Premature Aging in the New Republic -- Proleptic Historiography: Americaâ#x80;#x99;s Future Archaeologists and Postapocalyptic Historians -- Uncanny Historicism: Speculative Realism in Frontier Travel -- Science Faction: Natural History and Postapocalyptic Fantasy -- Chapter 1 The American Noah</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">American Antiquity: James Kirke Paulding and the Native Noah Descent from Ararat: Crossing the Alleghenies in Pauldingâ#x80;#x99;s The Backwoodsman -- An Antebellum Antediluvian: Surviving the Flood -- Chapter 2 Narratives of Extinction and the Last Man -- Witness to Extinction: The Last Man -- The Last Man in America: James Fenimore Cooperâ#x80;#x99;s Adaptation -- A Nation in Ruins: Who Is the Last of the Mohicans? -- AprÃs̈ Moi le Déluge: Coming to Terms with Cooperâ#x80;#x99;s The Crater -- Chapter 3 The Magnificent Mound Builders -- Mounds Mania: The Ancient Heartland Empire</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">Breaking the Form of â#x80;#x9C;The Prairiesâ#x80;#x9D;: William Cullen Bryantâ#x80;#x99;s Archaeological Sublime All Abuzz: Nature, Artifice, and the Humble Bee -- Managing the Landscape: Bryant among the Trees -- Chapter 4 History Unearthed -- New Views: The Postapocalyptic Topographies of Domestic Travel Writing -- The American Holy Land: John Lloyd Stephensâ#x80;#x99;s Mayan Excursions -- The Step-Mother World: Hawthorneâ#x80;#x99;s â#x80;#x9C;New Adam and Eveâ#x80;#x9D; in Postapocalyptic Boston -- Conclusion -- Chapter 5 Contact at Ktaadn -- Ruins Already: Thoreauâ#x80;#x99;s Tocquevillean Epiphany</subfield></datafield><datafield tag="505" ind1="8" ind2=" "><subfield code="a">The Dustbin of History: Thoreau, Parkman, and the Northern FrontierContact!

Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2017. ©2017 1 online resource (x, 238 pages) : illustrations text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier text file text HTML Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture ; 164 Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-234) and index. Even before the Civil War, American writers were imagining life after a massive global catastrophe. For many, the blank slate of the American continent was instead a wreckage-strewn wasteland, a new world in ruins. Bringing together epic and lyric poems, fictional tales, travel narratives, and scientific texts, Postapocalyptic Fantasies in Antebellum American Literature reveals that US authors who enthusiastically celebrated the myths of primeval wilderness and virgin land also frequently resorted to speculations about the annihilation of civilizations, past and future. By examining such postapocalyptic fantasies, this study recovers an antebellum rhetoric untethered to claims for historical exceptionalism - a patriotic rhetoric that celebrates America while denying the United States a unique position outside of world history. As the scientific field of natural history produced new theories regarding biological extinction, geological transformation, and environmental collapse, American writers responded with wild visions of the ancient past and the distant future.
