Sobre este artículo
Boston: Beacon Press, 1995. First Edition with full numberline 8vo size hardcover with dust jacket; pages From jacket: "New York City's immensity, diversity, and drive have long been a magnet for American artists. For two centuries, fictional heroes like Theodore Dreiser's Carrie, F. Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby, and Toni Morrison's Joe Trace have been drawn to New York, where they have found everything - wealth, poverty, idealism, corruption, alienation, and freedom - on a grand scale. Theirs and other New York stories are among the finest achievements of American literature... Analyzing the work of more than one hundred New York writers' (the author) shows how established members of the literary pantheon (Henry James, Edith Wharton, Walt Whitman, James Baldwin, Dorothy Parker, Saul Bellow) contemporary writers (Lynne Sharon Schwartz) and some surprising names from the past (Horatio Alger, Jacob Riis) have responded to the City's unique demands and opportunities... (the author) draws on works of fiction, drama, memoir, poetry and travel writing to build a new understanding of New York's place in the American imagination." Light wear to jacket. The jacket appears lighter at the folds and may be by design or may be sunned. Tiny stray pen mark on bottom; some tiny spots on front of jacket; bumped top corners underneath jacket. . First. Hard Cover. Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
