Jamison Kantor (Ohio State University)

Honor, Romanticism, and the Hidden Value of Modernity

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book reveals the development of a progressive sense of honor and dignity â against its usual counterpoint, freedom â within nineteenth-century British poetry, prose, and abolitionist media. For readers of literature, sociology, politics, and economics, it offers a rich cultural history of a value long viewed as reactionary and regressive.
