Becoming John Updike: Critical Reception, 1958-2010
ISBN: 9781571135117 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When John Updike died in 2009, tributes from the literary establishment were immediate and fulsome. However, no one reading reviews of Updike's work in the late 1960s would have predicted that kind of praise for a man who was known then as a brilliant stylist who had nothing to say. What changed? Why? And what is likely to be his legacy? These are the questions that Becoming John Updike pursues by examining the journalistic and academic response to his writings. Several things about Updike's career make a reception study appropriate. First, he was prolific: he began publishing fiction and...

The Critics and Hemingway, 1924-2014: Shaping an American Literary Icon
ISBN: 9781571135919 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hemingway burst on the literary scene in the 1920s with spare, penetrating short stories and brilliant novels. Soon he was held as a standard for modern writers. Meanwhile, he used his celebrity to create a persona like the stoic, macho heroes of his fiction. After a decline during the 1930s and 1940s, he came roaring back with The Old Man and the Sea in 1952. Two years later he received the Nobel Prize. While his popularity waxed and waned during his lifetime, Hemingway's reputation among scholars remained strong as long as traditional scholarship dominated. New approaches beginning in the...

Jane Austen: Two Centuries of Criticism
ISBN: 9781640140066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Among the most important English novelists, Jane Austen is unusual because she is esteemed not only by academics but by the reading public. Her novels continue to sell well, and films adapted from her works enjoy strong box-office success. The trajectory of Austen criticism is intriguing, especially when one compares it to that of other nineteenth-century English writers. At least partly because she was a woman in the early nineteenth century, she was long neglected by critics, hardly considered a major figure in English literature until well into the twentieth century, a hundred years after...

Alfred Tennyson: The Critical Legacy
ISBN: 9781571132628 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alfred Tennyson: The Critical Legacy explores the critics' reaction to the work of the nineteenth-century English poet most closely associated with the Victorian era. Perhaps more than any other Victorian poet, Tennyson's reputation has waxed and waned in the century since his death. He has been alternatively sanctified and vilified for his choice of subject matter, social outlook, morality, or techniques of versification. His reputation has weathered even the most vitriolic attempts to discredit both the man and his writings; and as criticism of the late twentieth century demonstrates,...

ISBN: 9781571135155 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Undoubtedly the best-selling author of his day and well loved by readers in succeeding generations, Charles Dickens was not always a favorite among critics.

Then, during the Second World War, he was resurrected by critics, and was soon being hailed as the foremost writer of his age, a literary genius alongside Shakespeare and...
