Book Synopsis The Journey Narrative in American Literature by : Janis P. Stout
Book excerpt: Stout seeks to survey the uses of the journey narrative as a structural and thematic device in American fiction and poetry. She identifies basic patterns -- exploration, escape, journey of home founding, and the limitless journey of wandering without direction or destination -- and indicates the breadth and variety of its occurrence with illustrations. She also examines its use in a few novels, and in the poetry of Hart Crane and Wallace Stevens.
