Gotham: The Founding Myths of New York

Original language description

This chapter examines the myths of New York in John Gottlieb Heckewelder, Washington Irving and J.F. Cooper. These modern myths are understood as retrospective ideological constructions responding to the needs of the period (Barthes). In these early narratives New York appears as a place of archetypal bargain. The author of this chapter then explores the specific responses and cultural appropriations of the myth, by contrasting the American Indians version of the bargain (gift exchange economy) with theearly American writers' versions.
