Lighting Out for the Territory: Reflections on Mark Twain and American Culture
ISBN: 9780195121223 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Mark Twain has been called the American Cervantes, our Homer, our Tolstoy, our Shakespeare. Ernest Hemingway maintained that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn." President Franklin Delano Roosevelt took the phrase "New Deal" from A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Twain's Gilded Age gave an entire era its name. Twain is everywhere--in ads for Bass Ale, in episodes of "Star Trek," as a greeter in Nevada's Silver Legacy casino. Clearly, the reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. In Lighting Out for the Territory,...

Race: The History of an Idea in America
ISBN: 9780195097771 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When Tom Gosset's Race: The History of an Idea in America appeared more than a generation ago, it explored the impact of race theory on literature in a way that anticipated the entire current scholarly discourse on the subject. Though it has gone out of print, it has never been rendered obsolete. Its reprinting is a boon to younger scholars in particular who are unfamiliar with its rich presentation of fact and its clear, efficient analysis, from which so much later theorizing has developed. With a new afterword by and about the author, and an introduction by series editors Arnold...
