"In his deeply felt new book, REQUIRED READING, Andrew Delbanco shows why classic American writers remain indispensable in our age of uncertainty over what constitutes our common heritage. In superb chapters touching on Thoreau, Melville, Wharton, Dreiser, Richard Wright, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Abraham Lincoln, Henry Adams, Stephen Crane, Kate Chopin, Zora Neale Hurston and others, Delbanco shows how each writer has enlarged the expressive range of the American language, as well as our imagined sense of American possibilities." [publisher copy] "Delbanco has made an eloquent, compelling intervention in the ongoing debate about the identity and integrity of classic American literature. Calmly and persuasively, he blends his deep learning about the American past with a shrewd appreciation of our dynamic, sometimes volatile, national culture. His book is both magisterial and eminently readable--a fitting companion to the wonderful literature it investigates."--Arnold Rampersand. "What a clear-sighted, large-spirited accomplishment! Delbanco is piercingly alive to the pleasure of words and the complexities of their social context, but his greatest love is of the wholly unexpected: with his relish of paradox and of sweetly telling irony, he transcends the culture wars in eye-opening style. He set me thinking even as he dazzled, provoked, and inspired me."--Gish Jen. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued.
