There Before UsLundin Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2007年1月2日 - 250 頁 Despite the crucial importance of religion in American life, the place of religion in literary studies continues to take a backseat to trendier academic causes. This book helps remedy this deficiency by exploring the place of faith in the lives of writers beginning with Ralph Waldo Emerson. |
