This book traces the myth of Anglo-Saxonism as it crosses from
Britain to the New World as both a cultural construct and
ideological nation-building tool. Through extensive investigations
of both early American and English cultural attitudes toward
Anglo-Saxonism and similar texts, the book advances the claim that
the ways in which Anglo-Saxon authors envisioned history as
unfolding becomes an important ideological model for later New
World conceptions of historical and national identity. From this
beginning, the book follows the influence of this adopted American
Anglo-Saxonism in early American literature and the socio-cultural
implications that follow upon this influence.
