ISBN: 0813543509 ISBN-13: 9780813543505 Publisher: Rutgers University Press OUR PRICE: $37.00 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2008 Annotation: Bringing together more than sixty images of the bridge that, over the years, have graced postcards, magazine covers, and book jackets and appeared in advertisements, cartoons, films, and photographs, Richard Haw traces the diverse ways that this majestic structure has been received, adopted, and interpreted as an American idea. Haw's account is not a history of how the bridge was made, but rather of what people have made of the Brooklyn Bridge-in film, music, literature, art, and politics-from its opening ceremonies to the blackout of 2003. |
