Noise (and noise abatement) in Scotland and America -- To "bring forward a general scream" : George Whitefield, mob rules, and the noise of religious enthusiasm -- The "torrent's roar" : agricultural improvement, colonial administration, and the reorganization of noise in James Macpherson's The poems of Ossian -- Creating a "perfect union of opinion" : the polygraph, Thomas Jefferson, and the presidential election of 1800 -- "Periodical visitations" : crises of representation in Charles Brockden Brown's Arthur Mervyn. |
| Summary |
This book investigates the mediation of popular-political culture in Scotland and America, from the transatlantic religious revivals known as the Great Awakening to the U.S. presidential election of 1800. By focusing on Scotland and America, this book aims to increase our understanding of how tensions (ethnic, racial, economic, political, aesthetic, and religious) within these corresponding political and cultural arenas altered print's meaning and power as an instrument of empire and nation building. |
