Digital Library Federation, December 2002 Includes bibliographical references (p. 289-302) and index 1. Princes and patriots : nineteenth-century writers and the Polish beau ideal -- 2. From deviancy to diversity and beyond : inventing the Polish literary self, 1880-1930 -- 3. The immigrant on the land -- 4. Proletariat and protester -- 5. World War II and after : strangers and other neighbors -- 6. Descent and dissent : major writers and turf warfare -- 7. The gates of Heaven and the pains of Hell : Jewish American writers and memories of Poland -- 8. Reconstructing ethnicity : the view from the inside -- 9. Home as found -- 10. Homeward bound This book is a case study of the way in which ethnic identities are created and shaped by literature, focusing on the American image of the Pole from the 1830s to the present. Using a vast range of writings, some well known and others long neglected, Thomas S. Gladsky shows how the nineteenth-century view of the Pole as kindred spirit or "beau ideal" was supplanted by other literary models--anarchist, peasant, proletarian, antisemite--and culminated in the present-day idea of ethnicity as the heart of "Americanness." Part One traces the history of Polish ethnicity through the literary inventions of "host-culture" American writers, showing how these surrogates of "otherness" served the needs of a developing national literature. Gladsky deals tactfully with the delicate relationships between Poles and Jews in an extended chapter on Isaac Singer and other Jewish-American writers. He also offers extensive treatments of the writings of William Styron, Nelson Algren, Tennessee Williams, James Michener, and Jerzy Kosinski. In Part Two, Gladsky explores the Polish self through the lens of contemporary "descent" writers such as Gary Gildner, Anthony Bukoski, Stuart Dybek, Richard Bankowsky, and Anne Pellowski, who have created their own literary images while reflecting on their ethnic heritage. Throughout the book Gladsky links changing perceptions of Polish ethnicity to broader social and historical currents, showing how the Polish literary self has been a repository of American cultural history |

Homeward bound This book is a case study of the way in which ethnic identities are created and shaped by literature, focusing on the American image of the Pole from the 1830s to the present. Using a vast range of writings, some well known and others long neglected, Thomas S. Gladsky shows how the nineteenth-century view of the Pole as kindred spirit or "beau ideal" was supplanted by other literary models--anarchist, peasant, proletarian, antisemite--and culminated in the present-day idea of ethnicity as the heart of "Americanness." Part One traces the history of Polish ethnicity through the literary inventions of "host-culture" American writers, showing how these surrogates of "otherness" served the needs of a developing national literature. Gladsky deals tactfully with the delicate relationships between Poles and Jews in an extended chapter on Isaac Singer and other Jewish-American writers. He also offers extensive treatments of the writings of William Styron, Nelson Algren, Tennessee Williams, James Michener, and Jerzy Kosinski. In Part Two, Gladsky explores the Polish self through the lens of contemporary "descent" writers such as Gary Gildner, Anthony Bukoski, Stuart Dybek, Richard Bankowsky, and Anne Pellowski, who have created their own literary images while reflecting on their ethnic heritage. Throughout the book Gladsky links changing perceptions of Polish ethnicity to broader social and historical currents, showing how the Polish literary self has been a repository of American cultural history Littérature américaine / Influence polonaise Caractéristiques nationales dans la littérature Littérature américaine / Auteurs américains d'origine polonaise / Histoire et critique Américains d'origine polonaise / Vie intellectuelle Américains d'origine polonaise dans la littérature Ethnicité dans la littérature Pologne dans la littérature Polonais dans la littérature LITERARY CRITICISM / American / General bisacsh Etnisch bewustzijn gtt Pools gtt Letterkunde gtt Amerikaans gtt Literatur swd Nationalcharakter swd Literatur Polnisch American literature Polish influences National characteristics, Polish, in literature American literature Polish American authors History and criticism Polish Americans Intellectual life Polish Americans in literature Ethnicity in literature Polish people in literature Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Nationalcharakter (DE-588)4137343-1 gnd rswk-swf USA Polen (DE-588)4046496-9 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Polen (DE-588)4046496-9 g Nationalcharakter (DE-588)4137343-1 s 1\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=22387 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
