The Gruesome Doorway

Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : History

Pages : 172
Book Description
Moving from America's Puritan roots through the 19th and 20th centuries, The Gruesome Doorway examines the significance of the American Grotesque through an analysis of the works of Hawthorne, Poe, Crane, Norris, Anderson, West, and O'Connor. Dr. Uruburu explores the backgrounds and sources of the genre known as the Grotesque and reappraises the particular application of its «unconventional conventions» in American literature. The study reveals that this genre is peculiarly suited to a nation consistently torn between «high ideals» and «catch-penny realities, » whose inhabitants are pulled through the gruesome doorway into the landscape of the Grotesque.
