Two Texts by Edward Everett Hale brings together one of the most popular stories of the nineteenth-century, "The Man Without a Country," with its novel-length sequel, Philip Nolan's Friends. As Hsuan Hsu and Susan Kalter show in this critical edition, these engaging works of fiction helped orient nineteenth-century Americans' opinions about citizenship, statelessness, imperialism, and conflicts with Mexico and Native American nations in the U.S. Southwest.
A shortened adaptation of the story of Philip Nolan, who was banished from the United States and lived to regret the consequences. Includes word definitions and multiple choice questions.

Spiritosa riscrittura ottocentesca del classico di Daniel Defoe, Robinson Crusoe a New York di Edward Everett Hale (1822-1909) trasporta l'azione in una New York multietnica, ricca di attività commerciali, ma non priva di zone oscure e minacciose. Robin, il narratore di origine tedesca (come il Robinson di Defoe) costruisce una sorta di santuario privato in un terreno abbandonato vicino a una chiesa. Vivendo assieme alla pia madre e, più tardi, a Frida, una fanciulla svedese sottratta a una banda di "selvaggi" metropolitani, egli costruisce una fragile utopia urbana, basata sullo spirito cristiano e sui valori piccoloborghesi, di cui il 'sogno americano' dovrà tenere conto. Pubblicato in volume nel 1880, Robinson Crusoe a New York anticipa la grande stagione utopica americana, assieme al romanzo verniano di Hale La luna di mattoni, apparso in quattro puntate sull'Atlantic Monthly tra il 1869 e il 1870.
