John Updike's Human Comedy: Comic Morality in the Centaur and the Rabbit Novels

The comedy in John Updike s most important works The Centaur; Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit at Rest; and Rabbit Remembered defines a comic world and its morality. Although critics have failed to recognize the extent and the importance of Updike s comedy, his serious fiction does contain a good deal of farce, burlesque, and irony that, far from being peripheral or mere comic relief, depicts the absurd and contradictory nature of life. Within such a world, set in the everyday Pennsylvania of the second half of the twentieth century, human beings mature, or gain...

These works are marked by an acceptance of the disteleology, anarchy, and degeneration that racist discourses of the late nineteenth and early...

The Game as It Is Played comprises the best of Donald Pizer s essays on Theodore Dreiser.

In...

Their dramas rewrite history to reflect their political activism and espouse a shared value system that demands responsible action, equitable reward, and recognition...

ISBN: 9781433112942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The novels of Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, and Don DeLillo propose new readings of justice in contemporary American literature. Jason S. Polley argues that such distinctive writers as Smiley, Franzen, and DeLillo reconfigure what he calls -acts of justice- in various modalities and spaces. These authors re-conceptualize justice in their portrayals of peripheral groups, such as women, minorities, and outcasts. In lieu of fictionalizing justice in conventional courtrooms, these writers narratives make a virtue of representing the undetermined and everyday presence of justice. As a result,...
