Thomas Bailey Aldrich (Twayne's United States Authors, #94)

Charles E. Samuels

4.9/5 (22448 ratings)

Description:This is the first critical study, apart from the official biography, of a writer whose phenomenal success in the nineteenth century has been followed by almost total critical neglect in our own. From the large body of his creative work, The Story of a Bad Boy remains a landmark in the development of the American boy story, one of the first attempts to do away with the Lord Fauntleroy image and to portray boyhood realistically. Apart from emphasis on this semi-autobiographical novel, this re-evaluation reveals much of Aldrich's poetry to be worthy of comparison with that of Longfellow, Lowell, and Whittier. The relationship of Aldrich's environment to his work—his boyhood in the New Hampshire seaport of Portsmouth, his bohemian days in New York City, the later, more leisurely years in Boston—is keenly realized here.No attempt is made in Thomas Bailey Aldrich to assign him the literary stature of a Melville or a whitman, but he does emerge as an author who deserves renewed critical and reader attention for the warmth of his humor and his highly polished craftsmanship.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
