"This book fits into a sequence of books I have written in which writers are used to throw light on their times, and vice versa, a sequence beginning with Fleming, Shakespeare and Austen, and continuing with Dickens, Christie, Doyle, Fielding, Smollett and the Gothic novelists.

Jersey Breaks: Becoming an American Poet
ISBN: 9781324066071 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
