Writing of America - Literature and Cultural Identity from the Puritans to the Present - Geoff Ward - Paperback Bog - John Wiley and Sons Ltd - 2002 -
Brand: John Wiley and Sons Ltd
Description
In this lively and provocative study, Geoff Ward puts forward the bold claim that the founding documents of American identity are essentially literary. America was invented, not discovered, and it remains in thrall to the myth of an earthly Paradise. This is Paradise, and American ideology imprisons as it inspires.
