The Machine in the Garden

Excerpt from Leo Marx's Machine in the Garden:

http://www.jstor.org/view/00284866/ap020116/02a00020/0?currentResult=00284866%2bap020116%2b02a00020%2b0%2cFEFF&searchUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fsearch%2FBasicResults%3Fhp%3D25%26si%3D1%26gw%3Djtx%26jtxsi%3D1%26jcpsi%3D1%26artsi%3D1%26Query%3DNathaniel%2BHawthorne%2BTechnology%26wc%3Don

Found this to be an interesting snippit of Marx's writing. It briefly (16 pages) covers how classical American authors such as Hawthorne and Emerson, responded to American industrialization (and how it had subsequent effects on their writings).
