- Summary
- "In A Singular Duality, Robert J. Frail delineates the complex but ordered progression of ideas in literature that bound two nations, divided by politics and often by war, into an orchestrated cultural collision drawn from the emotive power of the memoir novel and served by translators who understood the diversity of the European market."--Jacket.
