Stephen Vincent Benét

    Stephen Vincent Benét fu un versatile autore americano, rinomato per i suoi romanzi, racconti, sceneggiature e poesie. La sua opera più celebrata è il poema epico "John Brown's Body", che intreccia magistralmente personaggi storici e fittizi per narrare eventi cruciali della Guerra Civile americana. Un altro contributo significativo, "Western Star", fu un poema epico incompiuto che esplora la storia americana. Gli scritti di Benét spesso approfondiscono temi dell'identità americana, del suo passato e della sua redenzione.
