Description

Explore a deep literary investigation into the American identity with Failure and Success in America - A Literary Debate: 1803. Published by Princeton University Press, this work by Martha Banta examines the fundamental debate regarding the nature of success and failure within a specifically American context. Spanning three hundred and fifty years of discussion and controversy, the book moves beyond simple economic or political definitions. This volume provides a broad perspective, drawing from the works of philosophers, psychologists, and historians. Through a Whitmanesque lens, Banta analyzes the contributions of many influential writers, including Emerson, Thoreau, Twain, Melville, Henry Adams, William and Henry James, Faulkner, Gertrude Stein, and Norman Mailer. It is a significant addition to the Princeton Legacy Library, offering readers a way to understand how these concepts have shaped American thought through centuries of literary history.
