'Studies in Classic American Literature' Summary
In "Studies in Classic American Literature," D.H. Lawrence offers a series of penetrating and often contrarian essays on the works of some of America's most celebrated authors. He explores the themes of sexuality, violence, and the search for meaning in American literature, offering insights that are both insightful and unsettling. Lawrence argues that American literature is characterized by a tension between the desire for freedom and the need for order, and he sees this tension as a reflection of the American character itself. He also explores the influence of Puritanism on American literature, arguing that it has created a culture that is both repressive and hypocritical. Lawrence's essays are a valuable contribution to the study of American literature, and they offer a unique and provocative perspective on the work of some of America's most important writers.Book Details
