Pen of Iron: American Prose and the King James Bible
Robert Alter
The simple yet grand language of the King James Bible has pervaded American culture from the beginning. This book traces the ways that American novelists ranging from Melville, and Faulkner to Marilynne Robinson, and Cormac McCarthy - have drawn on the resources of the canonical English Bible to fashion their own styles and visions of reality.
