The Solipsism of Modern Fiction: Comedy, Tragedy, and Heroism
ISBN: 9781412811361 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In The Solipsism of Modern Fiction, Harold Kaplan deals with the problem of action and its adequate motive in the modern novel. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries modern scientific knowledge abandoned the human-centered view of the universe and thus the fictional modes that had been rooted in religion or myth. The result for fiction was a radical skepticism on the part of the protagonist who now appeared as a reflective, self-critical, passive figure lacking the dynamism of the epic hero or religious seeker.

Henry Adams and the American Naturalist Tradition
ISBN: 9781412814232 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The naturalist tradition in American fiction was a product of the tremendous changes wrought in late nineteenth-century America by the development of science and technology and by the intellectual upheavals associated with the ideas of Darwin, Marx, Nietzsche, and Freud. This book is an account of naturalism, perhaps the strongest and most influential intellectual tradition or, as Harold Kaplan would argue, mythology to affect modern American literature and culture. Kaplan approaches the naturalist writers through a study of Henry Adams. He sees in Adams the paradigmatic intelligence...

Poetry, Politics, & Culture: Argument in the Work of Eliot, Pound, Stevens, and Williams
ISBN: 9781412807357 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A salient feature of modern poetics is its direct connection with cultural history and politics. Among the great American poets of the twentieth century, Wallace Stevens and William Carlos Williams offer a significant contrast with T. S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. Where the latter advocated a theocentric or reactionary response to the cultural crises of modernity, the former affirmed an essentially humanist and democratic social and aesthetic ethos. In Poetry, Politics, and Culture, Harold Kaplan offers a penetrating comparative study of these representative and distinctively...

Democratic Humanism and American Literature
ISBN: 9781412804738 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Democratic Humanism and American Literature illustrates the interplay between democratic assumptions and literary performance in the America's classic nineteenth-century writers--Emerson, Thoreau, Hawthorne, Melville, Cooper, Poe, Whitman, Twain, and James. Harold Kaplan suggests that these major figures' works are linked by the myths of genesis of a new political culture. Challenged by the democratic ideal, and committed to it, they wrote prophetic books in the American liberal tradition and endowed its ethical intelligence. The task of stating a new and undefined freedom... Democratic Humanism and American Literature illustrates the interplay between democratic assumptions and literary performance in the Ameri... |
