Walt Whitman's Champion: William Douglas O'Connor
ISBN: 9781585440856 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1865 Walt Whitman was dismissed from his clerkship in the Department of the Interior because Secretary James Harlan judged Leaves of Grass indecent, unfit to be read aloud "by the evening lamp." Most eloquent among Whitman's defenders was William Douglas O'Connor, whose pamphlet The Good Gray Poet, a panegyric to Whitman and an attack on literary censorship in general and Harlan in particular, was the first of his many heroic if sometimes excessive efforts in Whitman's behalf. A gifted polemicist and a stout though not always judicious advocate of causes (he wrote several screeds favoring...

The Last Titan: A Life of Theodore Dreiser
ISBN: 9780520234819 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Theodore Dreiser first published Sister Carrie in 1900 it was suppressed for its seamy plot, colloquial language, and immorality--for, as one reviewer put it, its depiction of "the godless side of American life." It was a side of life experienced firsthand by Dreiser, whose own circumstances often paralleled those of his characters in the turbulent, turn-of-the-century era of immigrants, black lynchings, ruthless industrialists, violent labor movements, and the New Woman. This masterful critical biography, the first on Dreiser in more than half a century, is the only study to...

Emerson, Whitman, and the American Muse
ISBN: 9780807897140 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Loving finds in the lives and works of the two writers a symbiosis of spirit that transcends the question of literary influence. Tracing the parallel careers of Emerson and Whitman, the author shows how each served his literary apprenticeship, moved beyond his vocation, prospered, and, finally, declined in his literary achievements. In both cases, Loving follows his subject from vision to wisdom and, along the way, examines the aspects of the relationship that have aroused controversy.
Originally published in 1982. A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions... Loving finds in the lives and works of the two writers a symbiosis of spirit that transcends the question of literary influence. Tracing the parallel ...

Emily Dickinson: The Poet on the Second Story
ISBN: 9780521109079 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Emily Dickinson: The Poet on the Second Story Professor Jerome Loving provides an intuitive and 'interiorized' reading of the poet's most important works. Using biographical matters as a frame for his interpretations, Loving demonstrates how Dickinson's life is bound up with any series reading of her work. Literally, Dickinson wrote on the second storey of her father's house, but Loving argues that she also used that 'story' (or art) as both a retreat from the transitory nature of life and as a way of experiencing life in what might be termed the 'subjunctive' instead of the 'imperative'....

Mark Twain: The Adventures of Samuel L. Clemens
ISBN: 9780520269859 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 520 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mark Twain, who was often photographed with a cigar, once remarked that he came into the world looking for a light. In this new biography, published on the centennial of the writer s death, Jerome Loving focuses on Mark Twain, humorist and quipster, and sheds new light on the wit, pathos, and tragedy of the author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In brisk and compelling fashion, Loving follows Twain from Hannibal to Hawaii to the Holy Land, showing how the southerner transformed himself into a westerner and finally a New Englander. This re-examination of Twain s life is informed by...

Spoon River Anthology
ISBN: 9780143105152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The innovative free verse collection of small-town life that made Edgar Lee Masters a legend
A literary sensation when it appeared in 1915, Spoon River Anthology earned Edgar Lee Masters comparisons to T. S. Eliot and Walt Whitman. The characters who speak here tarnish the pure image of their Midwestern hamlet by holding forth from the grave with tales of illicit love affairs, betrayed confidences, political corruption, and miserable marriages. The first serious work of psychological naturalism, this artful indictment of small-town hypocrisy influenced Theodore Dreiser,...
