Identity Construction in Literary Texts

Beschreibung

This book approaches the analysis of English and American literature from a perspective of Identity Theory and Social Identity Theory. Part I looks at individual identity and seeks to relate plots and characters to the authors' own biographies whereby different authors, genres, and literary periods were included. Part II comparatively focuses on issues of class identity and its representation in terms of linguistic markers in English and American literature with illustrating examples from Thomas Hardy and Mark Twain.
