J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur

"Ce voyage n'est pas un simple itinéraire, il est d'abord une passionnante description de l'Amérique offerte par Crèvecoeur à l'aube du XIXe siècle, après trente ans de séjour et de voyages au sein de ce qui devenait alors les Etats-Unis. Militaire, cartographe, arpenteur, colon défricheur, consul de France à New York, Saint-John de Crèvecoeur dresse un tableau d'une Amérique moderne en train de naître au contact entre les colons et les Amérindiens. Il revenait à une spécialiste de géographie humaine de retracer cette genèse, frayant à travers les textes l'avancée des hommes contre les forêts et les marais, la progression d'un espace domestiqué aux dépens des Amérindiens, et l'organisation d'un gouvernement des choses et des hommes."--Book cover.

This is a critical edition of the essays that J. Hector St. John de Crevecoeur (1735-1813) wrote in English but did not include in Letters from an American Farmer. First published in 1782, Letters from an American Farmer is an eighteenth-century cultural masterpiece. Written in English by a French-born immigrant, it is a collection of semiautobiographical writings in epistolary form that describe daily life along the northern frontier during the days leading up to the American Revolution. Conveying the attitudes, beliefs, aspirations, and conflicting loyalties of common settlers, Letters has helped subsequent generations to grasp the ethos of a nascent America.
