 | The Stoic Strain in American Literature: Essays in Honour of Marston LaFrance Subjects: American literature -- History and criticism -- Addresses essays lectures; Stoics in literature; LaFrance Marston; Authors American -- 20th century -- Biography; Marston LaFrance (1927-75) was a stoic for most of his life, although the basic humanitas of the man softened what otherwise might have been mere grim endurance. This tribute to him is a new kind of festschrift: the papers in it are unified by their strict critical focus on stoicism in American literature. MacMillan Duane : DUANE J.
