Qu: Good Morning, Professor Thomas! I sat in on your class on the Literature of California last semester.It would seem that no other state in the Union could show more original and dramatic power.The glory of the eschscholtzia, the weirdness of the madrone, the grandeur of the unsurpassable redwoods, the awe of the desert mescal-all blossom into a strange verse that can only belong to the Pacific Coast of California.In this land, openness of mind, largeness, freedom, and contact with nature have enlarged the soul of people.In your opinion, what is the most unique and representative in California Culture? In this interview Xin Qu chats with Brook Thomas, professor of American Literature at the University of California, Irvine.Book Thomas is a fellow of the Von Humboldt Foundation in Germany, the Woodrow Wilson Center, the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH).Early in 1993, Professor Thomas’s paper:TheNewHistoricismandOtherOld-fashionedTopicswas translated and included inTheNewHistoricismandLiteratureCriticism, published by Peking University Press.Xin Qu ready to share the interview with the reader.
