An original and highly unusual psycholinguistic study of American literature and culture from 1584 to 1860, this volume focuses on the metaphor of “land-as-woman”. It is the first systematic documentation of the recurrent responses to the American continent as a feminine entity, and it is also the first systematic inquiry into the metaphor's implications for the current ecological crisis.
