Böcker av Harry Levin

First Published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.

The Power of Blackness is a profound and searching reinterpretation of Hawthorne, Poe and Melville, the three classic American masters of fiction. It is also an experiment in critical method, an exploration of the myth-making process by way of what may come to be known as literary iconology.

This book collects essays that examine key scenes in a number of plays which the author felt 'cried out' to be dramatized.

`Written with elegance and irony, the book is a searching enquiry into realism in the novel...' Leon Edel .
