"""This is a work of literary, intellectual, and cultural history of unusual ambition and originality in its expansive scope, potentially of much interest to academic readers from graduate students to senior scholars in a range of Americanist fields: American religion, literature, history, politics, journalism, and such interdisciplines as print culture and history of the book studies."" --Lawrence Buell, Powell M. Cabot Professor Emeritus of American Literature, Harvard University, USA ""A fascinating and original exploration of the sacred and secular texts by which nineteenth-century Americans sought to define the nation and its purposes."" --James Gilbert, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Maryland, USA"
