Description

Explore the literary legacy of one of America's leading writers with Arnold Beichman's comprehensive study, Herman Wouk: The Novelist as Social Historian. Published by Routledge, this work examines how Wouk's plays and novels reflect a deep preoccupation with American society during times of both war and peace. Beichman places Wouk within a prestigious literary tradition alongside masters such as Cervantes, Richardson, Balzac, and Dickens. The study highlights the specific qualities that define Wouk's writing, including strong plots, moralist outcomes, and the presence of active, positive characters. This edition includes a new introduction that brings Wouk's work from the last two decades into modern reckoning. By making extensive use of Wouk's personal materials, Beichman provides a deep look at the man behind the stories. This book is an essential resource for readers interested in sociology, American literature, and the social history captured through fiction.
