    How nineteenth-century Protestant evangelicals used print and visual media to shape American cultureIn nineteenth-century America, "apocalypse" referred not to the end of the world but to sacred revelation, and "geography" meant both the physical landscape and its representation in printed maps, atlases, and pictures. In Apocalyptic Geographies, Jerome Tharaud explores how white Protestant evangelicals used print and visual media to present the antebellum landscape as a "sacred space" of spiritual pilgrimage, and how devotional literature influenced secular society in important and surprising ways.Reading across genres and media—including religious tracts and landscape paintings, domestic fiction and missionary memoirs, slave narratives and moving panoramas—Apocalyptic Geographies illuminates intersections of popular culture, the physical spaces of an expanding and urbanizing nation, and the spiritual narratives that ordinary Americans used to orient their lives. Placing works of literature and visual art—from Thomas Cole’s The Oxbow to Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Henry David Thoreau’s Walden—into new contexts, Tharaud traces the rise of evangelical media, the controversy and backlash it engendered, and the role it played in shaping American modernity

"Beginning with Isaac Watts's Horae Lyricae (1706) and concluding with the burgeoning poetic print culture of the early nineteenth century Awakening Verse unfolds how evangelical ministers, itinerants, and lay people in colonial British North America capaciously engaged prevailing ideas about literary taste and created a distinct transatlantic poetics grounded in Watts's notion of the "plainest capacity." From the evangelical women who were instrumental in the development of bountiful verse ministries and the creation of poetic coteries to the itinerant ministers for whom poetics and its attendant sociability were central, evangelicals produced new forms of the "poet-minister" and "print itinerancy" that emerged as crucial practices of revivalism and facilitated rearrangements of ecclesiastical, gendered, and racialized authority. Well-known poet-ministers, such the Bostonian Sarah Moorhead and the Virginian James Ireland, reimagined formal poetic elements in the service of saving souls. Others, like Samuel Davies and Phillis Wheatley became enmeshed in critical debates over the racialization of evangelical verse. Countless others, in print and in manuscript, joined with Watts to save poetry from its "profligate" uses. Awakening Verse shows that American literary and religious histories that regularly exclude one hundred years of verse severely impoverish our understanding of early evangelicalism and American poetry. Taking revival poets and their verse as seriously as they and their contemporaries did provides an entirely new understanding of eighteenth-century evangelical and literary culture, one in which poetry serves as one of the primary actors in the creation, maintenance, and adaptation of evangelical culture and religious enthusiasm animates American poetics"--

    Evangelical Space. Thomas Cole and the Landscape of Evangelical Print -- Abolitionist Mediascapes: The American Anti-Slavery Society and the Sacred Geography of Emancipation -- The Human Medium: Harriet Beecher Stowe and the New-York Evangelist -- Geographies of the Secular. Pilgrimage to the 'Secular Center': Tourism and the Calvinist Novel -- Cosmic Modernity: Henry David Thoreau, the Missionary Memoir, and the Heathen Within -- The Sensational Republic: Catholic Conspiracy and the Battle for the Great West -- Epilogue. "This monograph argues that Protestant evangelicals used the rise of mass print culture in the nineteenth century to produce a modern form of "sacred space" that moved beyond devotional literature to profoundly shape popular literature, art, and politics. The author places well-known works of literature and visual art-Thomas Cole's 1836 painting The Oxbow, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, Henry David Thoreau's Walden, among others-into new contexts, showing the revelatory nature they contained for religious audiences. As the author demonstrates, the antebellum landscape meant more than physical territory to be conquered or new markets to be exploited: the land itself represented intense spiritual longing and struggle, a spiritual medium through which many Americans looked to see the state of their souls and the fate of the world unveiled"--

The author places well-known works of literature and visual art-Thomas Cole's 1836 painting The Oxbow, Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin, Henry David Thoreau's Walden, among others-into new contexts, showing the revelatory nature they contained for religious audiences. As the author demonstrates, the antebellum landscape meant more than physical territory to be conquered or new markets to be exploited: the land itself represented intense spiritual longing and struggle, a spiritual medium through which many Americans looked to see the state of their souls and the fate of the world unveiled"--

    Beginning with Watts's Horae Lyricae (1706) and concluding with the burgeoning poetic print culture of the early 19th century, Awakening Verse unfolds how evangelical ministers, itinerants, and laypeople in colonial British North America capaciously engaged prevailing ideas about literary taste and created a distinct transatlantic poetics grounded in Watts's notion of the "plainest capacity." Awakening Verse shows that regularly excluding so many years of verse impoverishes the understanding of early evangelicalism and American poetry. Taking revival poets and their verse as seriously as they and their contemporaries did provides an entirely new understanding of 18th-century evangelical and literary culture, one in which poetry serves as one of the primary actors in the creation, maintenance, and adaptation of evangelical culture and religious enthusiasm animates American poetics.
