lecture "Excursion to Canada." Nonetheless, the detailed index shows that five references to Canada still survive.) In that same entry, for November 16,1850, Thoreau writes his own manifesto for an ecopoetics: "A truly good book is something as wildly natural and primitive—mysterious and marvellous, ambrosial and fertile—as a fungus or a lichen—suppose the muskrat or beaver were to turn his views to literature what fresh views of nature would be present. The fault of our books and other deeds is that they are too humane, I want something speaking in some measure to the condition of muskrats and skunk cabbage as well as of men—not merely to a pining and complaining coterie of philanthropists." L.R. Robert L. Dorman, Revolt of the Provinces: The Regionalist Movement in America, 1920- 1945, U. North Carolina P./Scholarly Book Services distr., $62.95 Cdn. According to Dorman's argument, during the interwar period a generation of Americans born rural found themselves growing up and then growing old in an inescapably urban world. As secularism seemed to replace Christianity, and the bureaucratic supplanted the participatory, a continent-wide regional revolt emerged. Fundamental to this movement was a vision of a society founded and re-established on the basis of folk traditions which are distinctive to particular regions. Extending this notion of decentering the centre, the regionalists developed a political agenda based on an organic synthesis of geological region, flora and fauna, and culture. It was a 1920s version of the ecological movement. Although Dorman is a historian, and his emphasis is on regionalism as a 'political' movement, it is clear everywhere in this dense and diligently documented study that the regional revolt was at its heart an aesthetic movement, not only in its being lead by writers and artists, such as John Crowe Ransom, Allen Tate, Mary Austin, Lewis Mumford, and Henry Nash Smith, but also in its ultimate emphasis on the creative artist inherent in each person. For students of Canada, the thoroughly American intellectual history reconstucted here will be, perhaps, only intermittently applicable. But regionalism, literary, cultural or political, is not a subject which has been very extensively effectively theorized—in Canada or elsewhere. This book provides a thoughtful, challenging history of ideas of regionalism which could be a great benefit to Canadian study of the subject, L.R.
