The Green Breast of the New World
Angebote / Angebote:
In searching American literary landscapes for what they can reveal about our attitudes toward nature and gender, The Green Breast of the New World considers symbolic landscapes in twentieth-century American fiction, the characters who inhabit them, and the gendered traditions of these fictional elements. From the midwestern prairies of Willa Cather to the Mississippi Delta of William Faulkner, Louise H. Westling examines the way American literary responses to the earth have been characterized by a puzzling mix of eroticism and misogyny, celebration and mourning, and reverence and disregard.
