Description du livre Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. David Laskin shares the stories of four friendships that have defined the course of American Literature: Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, Henry James and Edith Wharton, Katherine Anne Porter and Eudora Welty, and Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. An illuminating study of the nature of friendship itself, A Common Life is a fascinating narrative of the entanglements of art and life. In each of the friendships that Laskin portrays, he demonstrates how the two writers met at a critical turning point in their lives and careers and how they profoundly affected the course of both. "A delightful, unusual and often illuminating study of a kind of influences wrought on eight famous American writers by their intimate friendships with each other." -- Louis Auchincloss This item is printed on demand.

Description du livre Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In this splendid group portrait, David Laskin tells the stories of four friendships that helped to define the course of American literature: Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville, Henry James and Edith Wharton, Katherine Anne Porter and Eudora Welty, Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell. Written with uncommon grace and insight, A Common Life is a fascinating narrative of the entanglements of art and life, and an illuminating study of the nature of friendship itself. In each of these pairings, the two writers met at a critical turning point in their lives and careers, and the friendship profoundly affected the course of both. The friendships came as great shafts of light, throwing open new possibilities and relieving the numbing isolation of American literary life. The 'shock of recognition' that passed between Melville and Hawthorne when they met in the Berkshires in 1850 changed the course of Melville's masterpiece, Moby-Dick. Edith Wharton was nearly forty, rich, and unhappily married when she met the sixty-year-old Henry James in London in 1903. His thunderous advice to 'Do New York!' steered her toward her first triumph with The House of Mirth. Each friendship sprang from shared literary and personal admiration. But in time, each showed the strains of rivalry, resentment, anger, disappointment, and nasty gossip - hazards perhaps inherent in intimate relationships between writers. Welty became furious when the publication of her first book had to be postponed because the notoriously unreliable Porter had failed to finish her introduction to the book on time. Bishop and Lowell teetered for years on the brink of a love affair, and Bishop felt all the more betrayed when Lowell took apassage from her most anguished letter to him and 'versed' it word for word into one of his poems. Love and loathing, reverence and revenge played their roles in all four of these intense relationships. A Common Life also uncovers the remarkable strands of influence and common heritage that link the four pairs of friends. Each new generation labored in the shadow of its predecessors, reading their works, pondering their lives, in many cases moving in similar social or literary circles. The intricate connections, both literary and personal, gather these eight lives together into a single, vividly composed group portrait. Drawing on published and unpublished letters and diaries as well as his own close readings of major texts by all eight writers, David Laskin illuminates the delicate interplay between life and art, influence and affection, affinity and personality. A Common Life offers a brilliant new perspective on the abiding importance of friendship in the lives and works of eight of our finest writers. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781416576068
