Henry), analyzing how these elements structure his tales and contribute to his popular formulas. Blansfield also examines Porter's adventurous but troubled background-as a ranch hand, cowboy, bank teller, journalist, prisoner, fugitive, and more-to see how his own experience shaped these aspects of his fiction. The book considers how the bustling, turbulent conditions of New York City at the turn of the century helped to launch Porter's [O. Henry's] meteoric career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKaren Charmaine Blansfield is assistant professor of drama at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 143\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 9.08 x 6.66 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 1988\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53849914278195,"sku":"9780879724214","price":27.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/sNeWdOBce49780879724214.webp?v=1786587523","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/cheap-rooms-and-restless-hearts-a-study-of-formula-in-the-urban-tales-of-william-sydney-porter-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
