Rezension zu „American Literature, Culture, and Ideology “
Ranging across topics such as the frontier, technology and the idea of progress, Mark Twain, and popular culture, this fine collection of essays offers a fitting tribute to one of the major scholars of American cultural history in our times. The collection honors Henry Nash Smith most by representing his influence in charting a field of study and focussing issues, and in encouraging the view that scholarship can be a serious form of moral and political criticism. (Alan Trachtenberg, Yale University) A distinguished gathering of essays honoring the memory of a distinguished American scholar. (Nineteenth-Century Literature)
