The Delaware Valley in the Early Republic
Author: Gabrielle M. Lanier
Publisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 9780801879661
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
"Gabrielle M. Lanier challenges prevailing characterizations of the region as culturally monolithic and reassesses its role in the formation of a distinctly American identity through the history, geography, and architecture of three of the valley's diverse cultural landscapes. Through narratives of individual lives, aggregate data from tax rolls and censuses, archival research, and close analysis of the built vernacular environment, Lanier examines the unique ethnic, class, and religious constitution of each subregion, as well as its racial diversity, political orientation, economic organization, and cultural imprint on the landscape."--Jacket.
