Youth and Age in American Literature

Viac o knihe

«Youth and Age» culls out from generally well-known texts what in effect is an unnoticed dialogue in American literature.Marco Portales' book highlights the languages, the styles, and the purposes and intentions of well-recognized writers who focused attention on old men narrators and characters from the Puritan period to the beginning of the twentieth century. The rhetoric that emerges here will engage the interests of students in American Studies, history, Gender Studies, literature, and gerontology.
