The Sacred Game: Provincialism and Frontier Consciousness in American Literature, 1630–1860 - Cambridge Studies in American Literature and Culture
Albert J. von Frank
This book is a meditation on the theme of provincialism in American literature. With careful attention to the historical context, it identifies in the expressions of pre-Civil War writers certain qualities of self-doubt and defensiveness, certain perceptions of displacement and decline, so characteristic as to amount to a defining trait of American literature.
