内容説明

In "Thoreau's Wild Rhetoric", Golemba examines how Thoreau took great interest in a linguistic agony that he found to be specific to American Romantics. These writers sought to be "willed" (clear, didactic, and inspirational) yet also desired to stress a "wild" rhetoric, one that used contradiction, paradox, and textual gaps. In this major study, Golemba examines Thoreau's literary forms, including famous works like "Walden" as well as neglected pieces like "The Landlord". In concerntrating on linguistic schisms, this book clarifies the significant communicative problems which faced Romantic artists, and were also crucial to extra-literary discourses of religion, law, and the popular culture of his era.
