Description

In American Gentleman, David Castronovo examines how ideas of class, manners, and social prestige shaped modern literature. Exploring figures from Henry James to F. Scott Fitzgerald, he reveals how the concept of the “gentleman” influenced American writers and their portrayals of status, culture, and identity.

A thoughtful work of literary criticism, perfect for readers interested in American literature, cultural history, and the intersections of class and writing.

Illustrated.
