The Cultural Life of Modern America - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

From the spirit of modern America (1889) was a commissioned work from Hamsun's publisher Philipsen. After hearing Hamsun lecture on his view of America which differed greatly from the conventional view of America as the future society itself, the publisher saw the seed of a controversial and easy work. Hamsun wrote the book within a few months. It was possible because it was based on previous lectures and was also * of source references. In the book, Hamsun comments critically and polemically about politics, language, women's affairs and American cultural life in general.
