dangerous pilgrimages – trans-Atlantic mythologies and the novel

Penguin, London, 1996. reprint. Softcover. Very Good Condition. second-hand copy, reading creases on the spine, internally clean, no annotations. "So this is a book about fictions: fictions that are in history and are about real things, but which have been raised up a little apart from them, as have the very ideas of America and of Europe itself. It is in our fictions that many of our truly essential stories are told, many of our essential desires and dreams expressed. And all this has been plain enough in the transatlantic traffic. But this is also a book about fiction – the novel, the literary form that has always most interested me. The novel and America have long had intimate connections." – Page 11 this is the first softcover edition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 518 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s).
