This is the final volume of Richard Slotkin's trilogy on the American frontier, which began with "The Fatal Environment" and continued with "Gunfighter Nation." "Regeneration Through Violence" deconstructs the myth of the gun-toting West. Professor Slotkin posits that this myth had a major influence on the nation's literary spirit through the 1850s, and that the hunter-hero icon it created had a defining influence on the character of the nation.
The term American Renaissance designates a period in our nation's history when the literary 'classics' appeared--works 'original' enough to mark a beginning for America's literary history.
