Then Lurie hits upon a plan to save...

He also places Taft in a progressive context, taking Taft's own self-description as a believer in progressive conservatism as the...

American Obscurantism: History and the Visual in U.S. Literature and Film
ISBN: 9780199797318 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. American Obscurantism argues for a salutary indirection in US culture.

It traces meaningful exceptions to this pattern across canonical figures from US literature and film.
