Romance of Failure: First-Person Fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James - описание и краткое содержание, автор Auerbach Jonathan (EN), читать бесплатно онлайн на сайте электронной библиотеки Lib-King.Ru.

This book focuses on the intense intimacy between author and first-person narrator in the fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James in order to defend the beleaguered "I" in these works against the depersonalizing tendencies of postructuralism. In reaffirming the importance of the human subject for the study of narrative, Auerbach shows how the first person form, in particular, underscores fundamental problems of literary representation: how fictions come to be made, and the relation between these plots and the people who make them.
