| الملخص: | This study focuses on the fractures caused in Crèvecœur’s Letters from an American Farmer by the uneasy linkage between the liberal agrarian contract extolled by the letters and the epistolary covenant which commits the farmer-narrator to describing an ideal a-historical society of freeholding cultivators. While writing entails the return of History under the guise of the American Revolution shattering the agrarian utopia, it also enables its imaginary, fictional alternative. |
