(Evans 30024) (BAL 893) A scarce imprint. The Hasty Pudding by Joel Barlow was first published in 1796 as a mock-heroic poem celebrating the simple American dish of hasty pudding, made from cornmeal. The poem was written while Barlow was in France, reflecting his nostalgia for American life, and was originally published in The New-York Magazine before later being issued as a standalone pamphlet. Its humorous and patriotic tone made it a notable work of early American literature, emphasizing the virtues of agrarian simplicity in contrast to European sophistication.
