James Agee: Style

James Agee's autobiographical novel, A Death in the Family (1957), won the author a posthumous 1958 Pulitzer Prize.

This particular literary analysis and criticism, which is part of our Continuing Education Series, hopes to provide readers with thoughtful consideration of Agee's literary style and powerful use of language.

In some cases, the manuscripts presented in this Continuing Education Series are merely papers written by undergraduate and graduate students assigned certain subjects. In other cases, these pieces are written as non-scholarly musings by people fascinated by certain subjects.
