The Forest and the City: Savagery and Civility in the British Atlantic World
2010
Overview
[...]the cultivation of the landscape would go hand-in-hand with moral and mental cultivation in an inevitable process of humanization and civilization. The borders, and confines of forests will cease to be nurseries for county gaols. . [...]forests, which were formerly the haunts of robbers, and the scenes of violence, and rapine, may be converted into the receptacles of honest industry'\" (qtd. in Gilpin 2.42-3). According to some commentators, such development could occur only after the forest dwellers-in this case, Indigenous peoples-had been removed from coveted lands in a process Kate Rigby has called \"the displacement of colonized people through the attempted Europeanization of their land\" (75). [...]as European settlers toiled to transform the predatory American forest into a \"thymy pasture\" resembling the pastoral landscapes of Britain, the bloody tomahawk would yield to the peaceful implements of husbandry and agriculture, thereby changing the \"dread Indian\" into a productive and docile colonial subject, a happy swain dancing on the green.
