The Word Rides Again: Rereading the Frontier in American FictionOhio University Press, 2002 - 236 strani Stepping back from the overt political conflicts surrounding American western literature, Stevens (English, Seton Hall U.) focuses on problems of classification, and asks simple questions about why books that have much in common are often read in opposition. He provides close readings of a few works to suggest a template that other scholars might use. It emphasizes content over authorial intention, and dialogues within the pages over supposed debates between writers. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR |
