sacvan bercovitch造句

• According to literary historian Sacvan Bercovitch:
• His dissertation, supervised by Sacvan Bercovitch, was entitled " The cultural logic of individualism in late twentieth century America ".
• Sacvan Bercovitch, a scholar of the sermon, argues that Paine's writing often resembles that of the jeremiad or " political sermon ".
• His two histories are examples of a rhetorical form popular in Puritan New England known as the jeremiad, the importance of which was demonstrated by Perry Miller and again, with different emphasis, by Sacvan Bercovitch.
• "Ragged Dick " has been described as a " puerile fantasy of the assimilation of the so-called dangerous classes to the bourgeois social order ", but Sacvan Bercovitch believes Alger created " a relatively realistic hero " in Dick one who smokes, swears, plays pranks, and spends what money he has with abandon, yet one who displays an emotional depth foreign to Alger's subsequent heroes, who increasingly exhibited " the slow accretion of civilized instincts and habits, including proper speech, cleanliness, and courtesy " and who lacked Dick's " sense of humor, sadness, and critical intelligence ".
