About This Item
Knoxville TN: University of Tennessee Press, 2006. Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 1st Edition hardcover, 203 pp. Examines the role of literature in the lives of New Englanders before the Civil War. Using primary sources, the effect of books, lectures, and speeches show across socio-economic groupings and show how the written word addressed the issues of the day as well as transcendent matters of the human condition. Examines the literary sketch (and the Golden Age of magazines) as a genre more accessible and less confined by critics than the novel. The author sees this as playing an important part in the shaping of American culture especially among the middle class. Book condition : Fine, no internal markings. Dust Jacket Condition : Very Good; shelf wear along edges. .
