Yet George P. Landow asserts in this book that Arnold is a sage, a writer in the nonfiction prose form of secular prophecy, a genre richly influenced by the episodic structures and harshly critical attitudes toward society which characterize Old Testament prophetic literature.Routledge revivals.American prose literatureHistory and criticismWisdom in literatureProphecies in literatureEnglish prose literature19th centuryHistory and criticismEnglish-speaking countriesIntellectual lifeAmerican prose literatureHistory and criticism.Wisdom in literature.Prophecies in literature.English prose literatureHistory and criticism.828.08818.08Landow George P.105089MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910959278203321Elegant Jeremiahs2718254UNINA
