From the reigning authority on American literature comes a beautifully written survey of the ways in which our greatest writers have grappled with the problem of God.
Review:
"Alfred Kazin has got to be the most impassioned reader of literature in all of American life right now--a reader so filled with emotion that, like an ardent lover, he seems nearly to tremble at the sight of his beloved, which is a good book."
New York Times Book Review
Review:"A magnificent performance, a summing up of a long, distinguished career, and a beautiful closing of the circle that Kazin opened with 'On Native Grounds'."
David Laskin, Washington Post Book World, 01/04/1998

Book Description: Random House USA Inc, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 210 x 133 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. This is the culminating work of the finest living critic of American literature. Alfred Kazin brings a lifetime of thought and reading to the triumphant elucidation of his fascinating and slippery subjects: what the meaning of God has been for American writers, and how those writers, from the New England Calvinists to William Faulkner, have expressed it. In a series of trenchant critical studies of writers as divergent as Hawthorne, Melville, Emerson, Lincoln, Whitman, Dickinson, Twain, William James, Eliot, Frost, and Faulkner, Kazin gives a profound sense of each, and his quotations from their works are artfully chosen to pursue the main theme. The centerpiece of the book is the reflection in American writing of the great American tragedy, the Civil War #151; so deeply involved in the whole complex issue of religion in America. An enthralling book by a major writer. Bookseller Inventory # AAC9780679733416 Bookseller & Payment Information | More Books from this Seller | Ask Bookseller a Question |
