Overview

Distributed by the University of Nebraska Press for the University of Idaho Press
This volume is an attempt to understand Posey's multiple and divergent voices - voices that evolved through experience and through constant negotiation of his conflicted position. Dr. Kosmider first investigates Posey's replication of Western literary models and then examines other writings that reflect Posey's attempt to incorporate and/or reproduce Creek verbal elements and strategies in his works.

Identifies and analyzes the many divergent voices in the writing of Posey (1873-1908) whose mother was a full-blooded Creek of the Wind clan and father was mostly of Scots-Irish descent. Shows how in some work he replicated European literary models and in others attempted to incorporate and reproduce Creek verbal elements and strategies. Also explores how he reflected the rapid change in Indian Territory during his lifetime. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
