Impure Worlds: The Institution of Literature in the Age of the Novel
ISBN: 9780823231782 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book records a major critic's three decades of thinking about the connection between literature and the conditions of people's lives--that is, politics. A preference for impurity and a search for how to analyze and explain it are guiding threads in this book as its chapters pursue the complex entanglements of culture, politics, and society from which great literature arises. At its core is the nineteenth-century novel, but it addresses a broader range of writers as well, in a textured, contoured, discontinuous history. The chapters stand out for a rare combination. They practice both an...

The Emergence of American Literary Narrative, 1820-1860
ISBN: 9780674018693 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the mid-nineteenth century writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne and Herman Melville produced works of fiction that even today, centuries later, help to define what American literature means. In this work of innovative literary history, Jonathan Arac explains what made this remarkable creativity possible and what it accomplished. His work also delves into a deep paradox that has haunted American literature: our nation's great works of literary narrative place themselves at a tense distance from our national life. Arac prepares the way with substantial critical readings of...

Joseph Conrad and the Fiction of Autobiography
ISBN: 9780231140058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Edward W. Said locates Joseph Conrad's fear of personal disintegration in his constant re-narration of the past.

The critic also argues that the author, who set his fiction in exotic locations like East Asia and Africa, projects political dimensions in his work that mirror a colonialist preoccupation with "civilizing" native peoples. Said then suggests that this dimension should be considered when reading...
