Equivocal Endings in Classic American Novels by Joyce A. Rowe (Hardcover - Cambridge Univ Pr)
Rowe's study approaches four classic American novels from an unusual perspective: the strangely equivocal nature of the vision with which each of them ends. Each novel has a central protagonist whose sense of identity is destroyed by his personal limitations and by the effects of society. In each case, however, the hero refuses to accept this and clings instead to an ideal and transcendent image of selfhood. It is this crucial illogic of narrative, this sense of conflicting authorial commitments, that Rowe explores.
