Description: Quiet Testimony : A Theory of Witnessing from Nineteenth-century American Literature, Hardcover by Goldberg, Shari, ISBN 0823254771, ISBN-13 9780823254774, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Goldberg (literary studies, U. of Texas, Dallas) examines Emerson (testimony without representation), Douglass (testimony without identity), Melville (testimony without voice), and James (testimony without life) as he recaptures the soft testimony, that which does not make an impact except though the spirit; subdued, muted, elusive. He recounts the passages of literature that do not attempt to bark the message out, but instead enforce it is the shrug, the quiet word or two, or the avoidance if direct communication whatsoever. He shows that the intervention of one small voice can sometimes be the most powerful testimony. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
