The intellectual context of 1930's American culture is a strong feature, whilst case studies of influential texts and practitioners of the decade - from War of the Worlds to The Grapes of Wrath and from Edward Hopper to the Rockefeller Centre - help to explain the cultural impulses of radicalism, nationalism and escapism that characterize the United 410 0$aTwentieth-Century American Culture 606 $aCulture 606 $aCulture$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1918-1945 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aCulture. 615 0$aCulture 676 $a306.097309043 700 $aEldridge$b David$g(David Nicholas),$f1973-$01038059 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454181903321 996 $aAmerican culture in the 1930s$92459403 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04552nam 22006852 450 001 9911008469303321 005 20151002020706.0 010 $a1-281-94927-2 010 $a9786611949273 010 $a1-57113-653-3 024 7 $a10.1515/9781571136534 035 $a(CKB)1000000000704697 035 $a(OCoLC)299740267 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10354632 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000251846 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11192475 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000251846 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10175301 035 $a(PQKB)10570286 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781571136534 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3003591 035 $a(DE-B1597)676697 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781571136534 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000704697 100 $a20120822d2004|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aStorytelling in the works of Bunyan, Grimmelshausen, Defoe, and Schnabel /$fJanet Bertsch 210 1$aSuffolk :$cBoydell & Brewer,$d2004. 215 $a1 online resource (152 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aStudies in German literature, linguistics, and culture 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 02 Oct 2015). 311 08$a1-57113-299-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

This book examines John Bunyan's'Grace Abounding' and 'The Pilgrim's Progress,' Johann Grimmelshausen's 'Simplicissimus,' Daniel Defoe's 'Robinson Crusoe,' and J. G. Schnabel's 'Insel Felsenburg' as prose works that reflect the stages in this transition. The protagonists in these works try to learn to use language in a pure, uncorrupted way. Their attitudes towards language are founded on their understanding of the Bible, and when they tell their life stories, they follow the structure of the Bible, because they accept it as 'the' paradigmatic story. Thus the Bible becomes a tool to justify the value of telling 'any' story. The authors try to give their own texts some of Scripture's authority by imitating the biblical model, but this leads to problems with closure and other tensions. If Bunyan's explicitly religious works affirm the value of individual narratives as part of a single, universal story, Grimmelshausen's and Defoe's protagonists effectively replace the sacred text with their own powerful, authoritative stories. J. G. Schnabel illustrates the extent of the secularization process in 'Insel Felsenburg' when he defends the entertainment value of escapist fiction and uses the Bible as the fictional foundation of his utopian civilization: arguments about the moral value of narrative give way to the depiction of storytelling as an end in itself. But Bunyan, Grimmelshausen, Defoe, and Schnabel all use positive examples of the transfiguring effect of reading and telling stories, whether sacred or secular, to justify the value of their own works.
