Free Download David Rodriguez, "The View from Above in American Literature: Aerial Description, the Imaginary and the Form of Environment"
English | ISBN: 1399522922 | 2024 | 208 pages | PDF | 56 MB
Readers encounter the environment through literature in ways not available to everyday perception. This is especially clear when a text integrates the grand vistas of what is known as the bird's-eye view.
