This book explores the ways that many authors (such as Cooper, Bryant, Hawthorne, and Thoreau) employed postapocalyptic fantasies in their works, showing that life after the end of the world was as popular then as it is now. This book is for students and scholars of nineteenth-century American literature and cultural history.
