Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. 1083 On Native Grounds: An Interpretation of Modern American Prose Literature, by Alfred Kazin (read 28 Sep 1970) I wanted to read what Kazin had to say about Willa Cather, since I just read most of her novels and a biography of her. But instead I plowed through this whole book. Some of it was interesting, but 500 pages is too much. What he had to say about Cather was good. I should read more Ellen Glasgow. {I did, eventually.] ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

"With On Native Grounds [Kazin] takes his place in the first rank of American practitioners of the higher literary criticism" (The New York Times). An important historian of American literature, Alfred Kazin delivers an exhaustive--yet accessible--analysis of modernist fiction from the tail end of the Victorian period to the beginning of WWII. America's golden age--from 1890 to 1940--included the work of Howells, Wharton, Lewis, Cather, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, and Faulkner. Their struggle for realism served as the basis for Kazin's interpretation. Kazin's debut was impressive in its scope for such a young author and became a part of his renowned trilogy of literary criticism, which also includes An American Procession and God and the American Writer. "Not only a literary but a moral history . . . The best and most complete treatment we have." --Lionel Trilling, The Nation Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
