Book is unmarked and unread " The book lays out new territory, thanks to Sweeting's hard digging, boldness, and eye for underground connections. Treating literar4y works, buildings, gardens, and manners as shape-shifting of each other, he ingeniously plots the aesthetics of gentility in antebellum America". This study of a unique coalescence of literature, architecture, and gardening illuminates the widely held belief that efforts to reform the world began at home, that beautiful and clean houses produced morally beautiful and spiritually clean people.
