The Silencing of Emily Mullen and Other Essays
ISBN: 9780807130971 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Perhaps the preeminent contemporary scholar of southern letters, Fred Hobson is adept at cutting through the many myths and self-illusions spun about the South and exposing a far more intriguing reality. In his inaugural collection of essays, Hobson offers both an astute and deeply personal take on American and southern life. He touches on history, literature, religion, family, race, and sports as he ponders various famous and obscure biographical and autobiographical figures. Rife with stimulating writing and thought, The Silencing of Emily Mullen informs, moves, and entertains all at...

The Southern Writer in the Postmodern World
ISBN: 9780820312750 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In "The Southern Writer in the Postmodern World" Fred Hobson offers a witty and engaging "preliminary estimate" of some of the most prominent new figures in southern fiction. Although he discovers no shortage of talent, he does find "various and conflicting attitudes toward the south and the contemporary world." Especially concerned with the relationship of these new writers to their literary predecessors, he traces the continuity--or lack of continuity--of certain attitudes, fictional approaches, and even values that informed southern writing during its earlier flowering in the 1920s, 1930s,...

Serpent in Eden: H. L. Mencken and the South
ISBN: 9780807896877 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The appearance in 1920 of H. L. Mencken's scathing essay about the intellectual and cultural impoverishment of the South, "The Sahara of the Bozart," set off a firestorm of reaction in the region that continued unabated for much of the next decade. In Serpent in Eden, Mencken scholar Fred Hobson examines Mencken's love-hate relationship with the South. He explores not only Mencken's savage criticism of the region but also his efforts to encourage southern writers and the bold "little magazines," such as the Reviewer and the Double Dealer, that started up in the South during the...

The Oxford Handbook of the Literature of the U.S. South
ISBN: 9780199767472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Oxford Handbook of the Literature of the U.S. South brings together contemporary views of the literature of the region in a series of chapters employing critical tools not traditionally used in approaching Southern literature. It assumes ideas of the South--global, multicultural, plural: more Souths than South--that would not have been embraced two or three decades ago, and it similarly expands the idea of literature itself. Representative of the current range of activity in the field of Southern literary studies, it challenges earlier views of antebellum Southern literature, as...

South-Watching: Selected Essays by Gerald W. Johnson
ISBN: 9780807840948 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 207 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gerald W. Johnson of North Carolina and Baltimore was one of the most prominent American journalists of the twentieth century and one of the outstanding essayists of any age.

Johnson was, as Adlai Stevenson said, "the conscience of America."

Faulkner and the Discourses of Culture
ISBN: 9780807129869 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Throughout his career, William Faulkner produced a literary discourse remarkably contiguous with other discourses of American culture, but seldom has his work been explored as a participant in the shifts and ruptures that characterize modern discursive systems. Charles Hannon argues in his brilliant new study that the language of Faulkner's fiction is replete with the voiced conflicts that shaped America and the South from the 1920s to1950. Specifically, Hannon takes five contemporary debates -- in historiography, law, labor, ethnography, and film -- and relates them both to canonical and...

Peculiar Crossroads: Flannery O'Connor, Walker Percy, and Catholic Vision in Postwar Southern Fiction
ISBN: 9780807133354 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Peculiar Crossroads, Farrell O'Gorman explains how the radical religiosity of both Flannery O'Connor's and Walker Percy's vision made them so valuable as southern fiction writers and social critics. Via their spiritual and philosophical concerns, O'Gorman asserts, these two unabashedly Catholic authors bequeathed a postmodern South of shopping malls and interstates imbued with as much meaning as Appomattox or Yoknapatawpha. O'Gorman builds his argument with biographical, historical, literary, and theological evidence, examining the writers' work through intriguing pairings, such as...
