Forfatter af John Brown's Body
Om forfatteren
A poet, dramatist, and short story writer, Stephen Vincent Benet was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 1898 and attended Yale University. A Guggenhein Fellowship in 1926 enabled him to work in Paris on a long poem that appeared two years later and received the Pulitzer Prize for poetry (1928). vis mere The poem John Brown's Body brought Benet instant popularity. This narrative history of the Civil War in rhyme and blank verse told from the point of view of ordinary people of both the North and the South is a remarkable epic of the United States. Although Benet had enormously influential on other poets, notably the Harlem Renaissance writer Anne Spencer, and despite his wide popular audience, he has not received high praise from academic critics. Benet died in 1943. (Bowker Author Biography) vis mindre

JOHN BROWN'S BODY af STEPHEN VINCENT BENET
This is one I don't recall, except rembering I enjoyed it.
For greatness to be, the time as well as the man must be right. The right man in the wrong time--and perhaps history is written differently.
Surreal, claustrophobic and increasingly irritating story.
When spiv Jack Tomelty and his lovely but mentally adtift "child bride" Marise move into a flat, their paths cross with fellow tenant, Ralph Shilling. An unhappily married office worker, whose neck's on the line over a co-worker's undiscovered theft, Tomelty thinks he looks the image of a notorious murderer who got away with a gruesome double killing.
As Shiling becomes obsessed with the cloying Marise...the whole thing becomes ...a bit much.
Nowhere NEAR as good as "A Case Examined."… (mere)
