Autor Paul Gilmore
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 noi 2001
Examines the interdependence of literary and mass culture at a crucial moment in United States history.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"Richly informative and conceptually sophisticated, Paul Gilmore's book argues that antebellum white male writers appropriated racialized body images from mass culture to market their antimarket manhood. Gilmore shows how unstable images of raced authenticity helped to stabilize literary manhood's 'impossible ideal,' to be in and above market culture."--David Leverenz, University of Florida
