| Description: |
From Herman Melville''s claim that "failure is the true test of greatness" to Henry Adams''s self-identification with the "mortifying failure in [his] long education" and William Faulkner''s eagerness to be judged by his "splendid failure to do the impossible," the rhetoric of failure has served as a master trope of modernist American literary expression. |
