| Title: | Homespun in colonial America: spinning the myth preserving American values |
| Authors: | Edwards, Kaitlin E. |
| Issue Date: | 12-Feb-2008 |
| Abstract: | This thesis will look at the role of myth in the development of a society’s values, more
specifically the ‘homespun’ myth in colonial and early Republic America. Life in late
18th and early 19th century America has been romanticized by time, historians, and
Hollywood. This has led the modern American to see colonial life in an incredibly
inaccurate light. In this paper, all aspects of the homespun production and ‘homespun’
myth will be examined and analyzed. |
