American Writers Classics Tapa dura - 2002

Información de la editorial

This new wing of the Scribner Writers Series takes that series enduringly popular format -- the 20 page essay accessible to the general reader or student -- and applies it to the most-studied literary masterpieces. Each of the 20-25 essays in this volume focuses on a single work of American Literature. Written in clear, jargon-free style by college and university professors, each essay explores the nuances of a particular work -- themes, characterization, use of language -- enabling the student to comprehend, interpret and write about the classics.

Volume 1 includes essays on Toni Morrisons Beloved, J.D. Salingers Catcher in the Rye, Willa Cathers My Antonia, Jack Kerouacs On the Road, Stephen Cranes The Red Badge of Courage, Nathaniel Hawthornes The Scarlet Letter and others.PIM31-MAY-1801
