| Summary, etc |
"William Bartram, the author of Travels Through North and South Carolina, Georgia, East and West Florida, the Cherokee Country, the Extensive Territories of the Muscogulees, or Creek Confederacy, and the Country of the Chactaws, was Colonial America's first native born naturalist and artist, and the first author in the modern genre of writers who portrayed nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. His book, based on his journeys through Britain's southern colonies and newly acquired Gulf territories in the years just prior to the American Revolution, provides descriptions of the natural and cultural environments of what would soon become the American South. Published in 1791, it quickly became an American classic and remains one of the important books of early American literature, scientific writing, and history. Particularly enlightening and appealing are Bartram's accounts of the Indigenous people and nations encountered during his quest of botanical discovery. Scholars and general readers alike have long appreciated Bartram's lush, vivid prose, his clarity of observation and evident wonder at the landscapes he traversed, and his engagement with the native nations whose lands he traveled through. His precise and evocative illustrations captured myriad species and scenes across what would become eight different Southern states: North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Tennessee. In his own era, Bartram's work opened a window on a world that seemed, for many, inaccessible and exotic. In this contemporary moment, Travels performs a similar function, offering a glimpse into a world that, even then, was in the midst of tumultuous change. Since its creation in 1976, when a surge of bicentennial enthusiasm for Revolutionary War-era texts sparked renewed critical and popular interest in Bartram, the Bartram Trail Conference has served as a hub for eclectic, interdisciplinary scholarship on Bartram's life and works. From its beginning, the BTC has sought to publish collections of notable scholarship originating under its auspices and to ensure that scholars new to Bartram's life and work have a place in the conversation. In 2010, UAP published Fields of Vision: Essays on the Travels of William Bartram, edited by Kathryn H. Braund and Charlotte M. Porter, drawn from three years of conference proceedings and featuring work from scholars in botany, archaeology, biology, and history, examining topics ranging from indigenous foodways in the 18th-century South to a previously-unknown Bartram manuscript. As a follow-up to Fields of Vision, the thirteen essays comprising 'The Attention of a Traveller: Essays on William Bartram's Travels and Legacy' offer an updated and more capaciously interdisciplinary assessment of Travels' influence and evolving legacy, opening new avenues of research concerning the flora, fauna, and people connected to Bartram and his writings. Incorporating scholarly perspectives from geology, art history, literary criticism, geography, and philosophy, alongside the more traditional Bartram-affiliated disciplines of biology and history, the collection concludes with a comprehensive treatment of the book as a material historical artifact"-- |
