Overview

Originally published in 1782, this edition is bound in green cloth boards with gilded top edge in slipcase. It's considered a foundational work of American literature, exploring themes of American identity, the promise of a new society, and the realities of rural life, including the contradiction of slavery, through a blend of documentary and social commentary. The book was immediately popular in Europe and is famous for the question, "What is an American?".
