The Reality of Appearances: Vision and Representation in Emerson, Hawthorne, and Melville

Sarbu (English, U. of Budapest) posits that the three American writers oversaw the branching of American literature from European by performing the transformation of romantic philosophical concepts and artistic practices into their modernist varieties, which we now attribute to James, Conrad, Joyce, and Woolf. Primary among the conceptions transcended is the dichotomy between appearance and reality. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
