  • Epiphany in the Wilderness

    Bernard MergenARTICLEJournal of American History2017

    Epiphany in the Wilderness is a fast-paced, sweeping history of the myth of heroic frontier hunters and their weapons. An important part of this history is the challenge to male dominance by “hunter heroines,” and the epic adventures of men and women in autobiography, fiction, nature writing, photography, theater, and taxidermy.

    Bernard Mergen, Bradford W WrightARTICLEJournal of American History2002Citada por: 14

    Comic books, Bradford W. Wright argues, have been an important part of youth culture, especially boy culture, since the late 1930s. Until the rise of television and rock and roll in the 1950s, the chief commercial rivals for the attention and spare change of American pre-teen consumers were Saturday matinee movies and pulp magazines. Unregulated until the adoption of an industry code in 1954, comic book publishers were freer than filmmakers to sa…
