National Book Award Finalist: A study of national myths, lore, and identity that "will interest all those concerned with American cultural history" (
American Political Science Review).
Winner of the American Historical Association's Albert J.Beveridge Award for Best Book in American History
In
Regeneration Through Violence, the first of his trilogy on the mythology of the American West, historian and cultural critic Richard Slotkin demonstrates how the attitudes and traditions that shape American culture evolved from the social and psychological anxieties of European settlers struggling in a strange new world to claim the land and displace Native Americans. Using the popular literature of the seventeenth, eighteenth, and early nineteenth centuries-including captivity narratives, the Daniel Boone tales, and the writings of Hawthorne, Thoreau, and Melville-Slotkin traces the full development of this myth.
"Deserves the careful attention of everyone concerned with the history of American culture or literature. "-
Comparative Literature
"Slotkin's large aim is to understand what kind of national myths emerged from the American frontier experience.... [He] discusses at length the newcomers' search for an understanding of their first years in the New World [and] emphasizes the myths that arose from the experiences of whites with Indians and with the land." -
