Ambrose Bierce and the Period of Honorable Strife - The Civil War and the Emergence of an American Writer

Informationen zum Autor CHRISTOPHER K. COLEMAN has written extensively on American history and culture, as well as military history. Two of his five books currently in print are related to the Civil War: Ghosts and Haunts of the Civil War and The Paranormal Presidency of Abraham Lincoln. Klappentext -While biographers have made much of the influence of the Civil War on Bierce and his work, none have undertaken to write a detailed account of his war experience. Likewise, among literary critics, Bierce's status in nineteenth-century American realism has led critics to explore the relationship of his wartime experiences to his output, but they have often done so without a deep understanding of his wartime experience. This manuscript concentrates closely on that experience, examining Bierce's few autobiographical writings, official records, secondary sources, and his works to come up with a portrait of the Ambrose Bierce during the Civil War era---
