PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Jeff Smith teaches English and American Studies at Masaryk University, Czech Republic, and is the author of The Presidents We Imagine: Two Centuries of White House Fictions on the Page, on the Stage, Onscreen, and Online (2009) and Unthinking the Unthinkable: Nuclear Weapons and Western Culture (1989). He has been a news reporter, theater director, Fulbright Fellow and research fellow at Oxford University, and previously taught at UCLA and USC before his current position teaching American Studies in the Czech Republic.
This is a work of literary, intellectual, and cultural history of unusual ambition and originality in its expansive scope, potentially of much interest to academic readers from graduate students to senior scholars in a range of Americanist fields: American religion, literature, history, politics, journalism, and such interdisciplines as print culture and history of the book studies. * Lawrence Buell, Powell M. Cabot Professor Emeritus of American Literature, Harvard University, USA * A fascinating and original exploration of the sacred and secular texts by which nineteenth-century Americans sought to define the nation and its purposes. * James Gilbert, Professor Emeritus of History, University of Maryland, USA *
