«We Search the Past ... for Our Own Lost Selves.»: Representations of Historical Experience in Recent American Fiction: 3 (Gdansk Transatlantic Studies in British and North American Culture) - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
The book is a study of the most recent American fiction, published at the turn of the 21th century, which demonstrates a renewed interest in the matters of history. Using the concepts of memory and experience, the author points at the ways in which subjective history has been created in the new "novel about history", written by such authors as William Gass, Richard Powers, Marilynne Robinson, Nicholson Baker, Aleksandar Hemon, and Jeffrey Eugenides. Theoretically, the study has been inspired by the works of Aleida Assmann, Hayden White, Reinhart Koselleck, Frank Ankersmit, and Dominick LaCapra.
