Couch, Daniel Diez
- Abstract
The author presents a literary criticism of the English novel "Emma Corbett" by Samuel Jackson Pratt. He discusses the violence of the American Revolution as depicted in the novel, the use of punctuation in the design of the book to make a connection to the wounded soldiers of the Revolution, and the sense of broken identity caused by these injuries.
