About this product
Product Information
How have American writers functioned as cultural mediators as agents who bring together the fragments of a diverse society and as artists who invent their culture for new audiences? In particular, how have Jewish and Southern writers fulfilled this role as they strove to move from positions of marginality toward the center of American literary culture and to gain access to the institutions of cultural dominance? These are some of the questions addressed in this stimulating collection of essays. Jules Chametzky examines the work of Abraham Cahan, Charles Chestnutt, Kate Chopin, I.B. Singer, Edward Dahlberg, Elmer Rice, Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Mark Twain, George Washington Cable, Thomas Wolfe, and William Styron, among others. He raises three basic and interrelated issues: first, the question of language; second, ethnic and regional particularities as crucial aspects of twentieth-century American culture; third, the role and strategy of the 'marginal' writer as he or she struggles with these elements within the wider social context. In the process, Chametzky deftly explores the ways in which each writer transforms his or her experiences to create a new sense of being on native ground.

Fantastic seller! My item took longer than normal to arrive but that's due to them sending me the wrong dvd. Not to worry though, I contacted them and they arranged for the correct dvd to be sent out. My item has now arrived and the dvd was in excellent condition (brand new as described) and it was very well packaged. I would also like to say that the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend this seller, thank you so much! The issue with the wrong dvd was quickly rectified .

No communication needed with seller, so don't know what to rate with regards to communication (please dont take lack of feedback on this matter as a negative). Thanks again.

This vinyl is really reasonably priced and I love that it is one of the more unusual colours. It arrived well packaged, undamaged and looks as described. It arrived late, due to Royal Mail's Festive rush, but was dispatched by the seller really quickly. When I contacted them to ask where it was, they replied really quickly with a helpful solution. Such good customer service, so strongly recommend. Really happy with my purchase.
