Download or read book Manhood and the American Renaissance written by David Leverenz and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, when my book on Puritans had just come out, one of my more well-known colleagues sat down in my office to read the jacket flap. 'Oh, ' He said, with a touch of disdain. 'You're actually saying something.' This book, too, is actually saying something-more readably, I hope. My colleague's spontaneous reaction expressed the prevailing postromatic values of the profession, which dazzle of critical sensibility playing over texts.
