Landscape and Identity in North America's Southern Colonies from 1660 to 1745

A variety of literary genres are examined to discover how authors described the landscape, climate, flora and fauna of America, particularly of the new southern colonies of Carolina and Georgia.Chapters are arranged thematically, each exploring how the relationship between English and American print changed over the 85 years under consideration.
