The Cambridge Companion to Robert Frost
A collection of specially-commissioned essays, enabling readers to explore Frost's art and thought.
Robert Frost
Robert Frost: The Ethics of Ambiguity examines Frost's ethical positioning as a poet in the age of modernism.

The humanist style, made mainstream by the Beats and their imitators, is characterized by faith in the power of presence, emotional communion, and affect. The skeptical strain emphasizes openness of interpretation and multivalent meaning, a lack of stability or consistency, and ironic det...
The Role of Religion - Tradition and Modernity in Contemporary Jewish American Literature
Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2009 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2, University of Frankfurt (Main), language: English, abstract: In der Magisterarbeit handelt es sich um die Rolle der Religion in der modernen jüdisch-amerikanischen Literatur. Die Suche nach den Wurzeln ist ein Trend in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft geworden. Dieser Trend widerspiegelt sich auch in Kunst und Literatur. Die Gesellschaft wandelt sich von einem "Schmelztiegel" in eine multiethnische und multikulturelle Gesellschaft. Viele Autoren wenden sich in ihren Werken an die Kultur ihrer Vorfahren.
