The American sentence

The American sentence From pulpit to Pulp fiction

Ira Bruce Nadel

Book - 2026

"A compelling quest to locate a history and poetics of the American sentence, this book uses four stages in the story of American letters - the sermon, the telegraph, the newspaper and the screen - to ask what in fact is an American sentence and how has it changed?"-- Provided by publisher.
