Publisher Synopsis
In trying to rethink the relations between material, intellectual and literary history, Bill Brown has produced an adventurously researched and especially rich cultural diagnosis of [Stephen] Crane's America.

We know it by its ephemeral shadow. -- Ian F. A. Bell American Studies [UK] Read more...
