What is Through a glass darkly : ethnic semiosis in American literature about?
In Through a Glass Darkly, William Boelhower applies semiotics to the study of American ethnicity, incorporating a wide range of critical references--from Umberto Eco to Michel Serres--and providing a provocative new model for an understanding of American texts. He questions currently popular ideas about the American literary canon, and allows us to recognize literature as a productive force that may Americanize and ethnicize readers.
