Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'The Genius of America' is a profound collection of essays exploring the cultural and intellectual foundations of the United States during the early twentieth century. Written by the influential critic Stuart P. Sherman, this work examines the essential qualities that define the American spirit, specifically addressing the intersection of democracy, literature, and tradition. Sherman delves into the complexities of national identity, offering a nuanced defense of American ideals against the rising tide of disillusionment following the Great War.The essays within this volume tackle diverse subjects, from the role of the intellectual in a democratic society to the enduring influence of Puritanism on the American character. Sherman argues for a balanced view of progress that respects historical roots while embracing the vitality of modern life. Through eloquent prose and sharp analysis, the work seeks to clarify what makes the American experiment unique and how its cultural life can be enriched. 'The Genius of America' remains a significant contribution to the study of American civilization, providing valuable insights into the social and philosophical debates that shaped the nation's self-conception during a transformative era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
