Oriental Shadows : The Presence of the East in Early American Literature Paperback / softback
by Jim Egan
Part of the Transoceanic series
Paperback / softback
Description
Through the use of several iconic early American authors (Anne Bradstreet, James Kirkpatrick, Benjamin Franklin, and Edgar Allan Poe), Jim Egan's Oriental Shadows: The Presence of theEast in Early American Literature explores the presence of "the East" in American writing.
In bringing to light this largely overlooked archive of images within the American literary canon, Oriental Shadows suggests that the East played a key role in the emergence of a distinctively American literary tradition and, further, that early American identity was born as much from figures of the East as it was from the colonists' encounters with the frontier.
