Edge of the Swamp: A Study in the Literature and Society of the Old South
ISBN: 9780807124338 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The flowering of literary imagination known as the American Renaissance had few roots in the South. While Hawthorne, Emerson, Melville, Thoreau, and Whitman were creating a body of work that would endure, the only southern writer making a lasting contribution was Edgar Allan Poe.

ISBN: 9780826218100 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Gather at the River: Notes from the Post-Millennial South
