280 Seiten, kartoniert. Illustrierter Originalkartonband. Einband mit sichtlichen Lagerspuren (etwas berieben und leicht angeschmutzt), Innenerhaltung sehr gut und ungenutzt. - The Sea and the American Imagination brings together a group of renowned scholars and writers whose contributions attest the ubiquity of the sea in American literature and culture. Writing from a decidedly transatlantic perspective, the 16 authors take a fresh look at both the historical conditions and aesthetic modes by which the sea is wed to the American imagination. The topics of the essays collected here range from Cotton Mather´s biblically encoded narratives of “Wonderful Sea Deliverancesö to the more profane yet no less symbolic shipwrecks in the works of Norris, London, and Crane; from Anne Bradstreet´s contemplations of the sea to seaward visions in American women´s writing of the nineteenth and twentieth century; from Sarah Josepha Hale´s utopian rewriting of the crossing to the New World in her 1853 novel Liberia to the reimagining of the first encounter for the 1992 Columbiad; from Hawthorne´s and Melville´s critical assessment of modern naval warfare to a reassessment – one hundred years later – of Slocum´s low-tech, single-handed voyage around the world; and from Thoreau´s meditations by the sea to the use of sea metaphors in postmodern fiction.
