The Prison and the American Imagination - Yale Studies in English
Caleb Smith
Argues that the dehumanization inherent in captivity has always been at the heart of American civil society. This title shows how alienation and self-reliance, social death and spiritual rebirth, torture and penitence came together in the prison, a scene for the portrayal of both gothic nightmares and romantic dreams.
