Crossing Color - Transcultural Space Place in Rita Dove s Poetry, Fiction, Drama

Zusatztext In this much needed first full-length study of Rita Dove's work, Therese Steffen has done a marvellous job in responding to and presenting in a scholarly way the diversity and creative range of one of America's foremost contemporary literary talents. Klappentext Rita Dove (b. 1952) was elected Poet Laureate--the first ever African-American to hold the position--in 1993! in recognition of work that combines racially sensitive observation with searing and immediate personal experience. She is best known for her substantial body of poetry! although she has also been recognized for her many accomplishments in drama and fiction! written in both German and English. Crossing Color! written by a well-known Americanist in the European community! is the first full-length critical study offering a comprehensive biographic and literary portrait of Rita Dove and her work. Zusammenfassung Rita Dove is one of the premier American poets. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1987 and US poet Laureate from 1993 to 1995, Dove appeals to a broad public by means of readings, stage productions, and the media. 'Crossing Color: Transcultural Space and Place in Rita Dove's Poetry, Fiction, and Drama' represents an investigation of her writing.
