{"product_id":"knave-fool-and-genius-susan-kuhlmann-9780807897034","title":"Knave, Fool, and Genius: The Confidence Man as He Appears in Nineteenth-Century American Fiction","description":"The confidence man held a fascination for Melville, Hawthorne, Howells, Johnson J. Hooper, Bret Harte, and Mark Twain. In this study the writers are grouped in such a way as to emphasize certain large-scale cultural patterns of nineteenth-century America. Primary attention is given to the con man character himself and the ways in which he reflects the unique qualities and perceptions of a given writer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1973.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.
