| 總結: | 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.
