Description

Book Synopsis
As both Americans and expatriates, these writers gained a unique perspective on American culture, particularly in terms of gender roles, national identity, artistic self-conception, mobility, and global culture.

Trade Review
Even scholars familiar with these works will find Winnett's reading fresh, erudite, and insightful. Choice Winnett's tightly-argued chapters, and the sense of intellectual exchange between them, mark this as an important book in the literary history of transatlantic migration.
