Produktbeschreibung

"A remarkably positive achievement that contributes significantly to an understanding of quite a range of texts, to an understanding of specific currents of literary modernism, and most generally to an understanding of class, which--in a U.S. context especially--remains that most vexed of social categories."--Evan Watkins, Pennsylvania State University
