The Confidence Man on a Large Scale --Notes --Works Cited --Index --AcknowledgmentsLiterary histories typically celebrate the antebellum period as marking the triumphant emergence of American literature. But the period's readers and writers tell a different story: they derided literature as a fraud, an imposture, and a humbug, and they likened it to inflated currency, land bubbles, and quack medicine. Excavating a rich archive of magazine fiction, verse satires, comic almanacs, false slave narratives, minstrel song sheets, and early literary criticism, and revisiting such familiar figures as Edgar Allan Poe, Davy Crockett, Fanny Fern, and Herman Melville, Lara Langer Cohen uncovers the controversies over literary fraudulence that plagued these years and uses them to offer an ambitious rethinking of the antebellum print explosion. She traces the checkered fortunes of American literature from the rise of literary nationalism, which was beset by accusations of puffery, to the conversion of fraudulence from a national dilemma into a sorting mechanism that produced new racial, regional, and gender identities. Yet she also shows that even as fraudulence became a sign of marginality, some authors managed to turn their dubious reputations to account, making a virtue of their counterfeit status. This forgotten history, Cohen argues, presents a dramatically altered picture of American literature's role in antebellum culture, one in which its authority is far from assured, and its failures matter as much as its achievements.Material texts.American literature1783-1850History and criticismTruthfulness and falsehood in literatureFraud in literatureElectronic books.American literatureHistory and criticism.Truthfulness and falsehood in literature.Fraud in literature.810.9/003Cohen Lara Langer1026181MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910463877103321The fabrication of American literature2488982UNINA01522nam2 22003493i 450 VAN009760020140428033645.68922-510-1366-020140415d1992 |0itac50 balatFREFR|||| |||||Livre 4Vitruvetexte établi, traduit et commenté par Pierre GrosParisLes belles lettres1992LXXIV, 231 (2-33 doppie), [7] p.ill.20 cm.001VAN00975972001 De l'architectureVitruve210 ParisLes belles lettres215 vol.20 cm300 Testo originale a fronte.4ParisVANL000046Vitruvius PollioVANV0376738237GrosPierreVANV009523730Les belles lettres <editore>VANV109337650Vitruvio Pollione, MarcoVitruvius PollioVANV077263Vitruvio, M.Vitruvius PollioVANV077264VitruveVitruvius PollioVANV077265Vitruvius Pollio, MarcusVitruvius PollioVANV077266Vitruvio PollioneVitruvius PollioVANV077267VitruvioVitruvius PollioVANV077268ITSOL20230714RICABIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZAIT-CE0105VAN00VAN0097600BIBLIOTECA DEL DIPARTIMENTO DI GIURISPRUDENZA00CONS XVIII.R.291 4 00 2798 20140415 Livre 41433126UNICAMPANIA01798nam0 22003611i 450 UON0020176620231205103256.80188-15-03801-988-15-07057-520030730d1968 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| ||||| Introduzione al Nuovo TestamentoOscar CullmannBolognaIl Mulino1968163 p.21 cm.001UON000655592001 Universale Paperbacks Il Mulino161BibbiaNuovo TestamentoUONC083114FIBIBBIANuovo TestamentoEsegesiUONC019568FIRELIGIONE POPOLAREUONC035995FIITBolognaUONL000085225.09Nuovo Testamento.
