In this collection of interviews spanning his richly productive career, Wolfe is seen as a writer imitating no one and riding the crest of each latest wave in contemporary America.
For more than a quarter of a century he has been the vivid and varied chronicler of our time--from the Californian car customizers and Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters of the sixties to the ambition-driven inhabitants... -Literary journalist, - -lowly social historian, - -chronicler of his times, - and -champion of realism- are among the many epithets heaped upon Tom W...

Ellen Glasgow: New Perspectives
ISBN: 9780870498794 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) During the past decade, the fiction and autobiography of Ellen Glasgow (1873-1945) have been undergoing major reevaluation - especially from critics engaged in issues of gender.

ISBN: 9781572331167 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Evelyn Scott was a significant literary figure in American letters of the 1920s and 1930s, an important contributor in the experimental forms and techniques of the modernist movement. She wrote and published in many genres -- the novel, short fiction, poetry, memoir, criticism, and drama. Since that time, Scott's work has been forgotten by most readers and critics, and her reputation as an important writer of her day has been obscured.
This collection, which features an introduction and thirteen critical essays, is the first volume to focus on Scott's work rather than her intriguing yet...
