Bøker av Ronald Berman

A study of the philosophical, intellectual, and political influences on the artistic creations of Fitzgerald and key early American modernist writers. Each chapter in this volume elaborates on a crucial aspect of F. Scott Fitzgerald's depiction of American society, specifically through the lens of the social sciences that most influenced Fitzgerald's writing and thinking.

Using editorials, columns, advertisements, silent film, architecture, and photography, this title develops the theme of modern consciousness.

In this study, Ronald Berman examines the work of the critic/novelist Edmund Wilson and the art of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway as they wrestled with the problems of language, experience, perception and reality in the "age of jazz". By focusing specifically on aesthetics Berman challenges and redefines many routinely accepted ideas concerning the legacy of these authors.

Explores philosophical and aesthetic issues germane to the writings of three major modern literary figures.
