Essays on History, Myth and Art in American Literature
Daniel Royot
FeniXX réédition numérique (Université Paul Valéry)
Livre numérique
These contributions present a selection of American writers in the light of
their broad cultural attitudes and suggest the relationships between their
individual achievements and some major issues affecting life in America. The
works thus examined range from the subliterary narrative to the sophisticated
artistic performance. All of them reveal through their inner duality, a
prevailing tension between literary modes of self-expression and collective
interpretations of the national heritage. The ethnic, political or
philosophical dimension of American literature is evaluated with reference to
the mythopoeic experience.
