Content:
In this ambitious new work, Peter Charles Hoffer presents a "sensory history" of early North America, offering a bold new understanding of the role that sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch played in shaping the lives of Europeans, Indians, and Africans in the New World. Reconstructing the most ephemeral aspects of America's colonial past, Hoffer explores the impact of sensuous experiences on human thought and action. He traces the effect sensation and perception had on the course of events conventionally attributed to deeper cultural and material circumstances.
