The Cambridge History of American Literature, Volume 8: Poetry and Criticism, 1940-1995
ISBN: 9780521497336 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. IVolume 8, concerned with works of poetry and criticism written between 1940 and the present, brings together two different sets of materials and narrative forms: the aesthetic and the institutional.
