Making History: The Biographical Narratives of Robert Penn Warren

FROM THE PUBLISHER

In Making History, the first comprehensive survey of Warren's biographical narratives, Jonathan S. Cullick tracks a clear development toward autobiography in Warren's career. By applying narrative theory to that provocative trend, he then makes an intriguing discovery: Warren's discourse techniques dramatize his philosophy of history and ethics. Cullick unearths what might be called the "narrative syntax" of Warren's historical vision.

SYNOPSIS

Surveying the entire work of 20th-century American writer Warren, Cullick (writing, U. of Minnesota) identifies works based on the lives of US historical figures. He finds a clear development toward autobiography through the course of his career, and explains how his discourse techniques dramatize his philosophy of history and ethics. Paper edition (unseen) $18.95. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
