Joan Acocella

Willa Cather and the Politics of Criticism (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Expanding on her absorbing and controversial 1995 New Yorker article, Joan Acocella examines the politics of Willa Cather criticism: how Cather¿s work has been seized upon and often distorted by critics on both the left and the right. Acocella argues that the central element of Cather¿s works was not a political agenda but rather a tragic vision of life. This beautifully written book makes a significant contribution to Cather studies and, at the same time, points out the follies of political criticism in the study of all literature.
