Simply Faulkner
ISBN: 9781943657070 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Nobel Laureate and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner William Faulkner (1897-1962) was one of America's greatest and most celebrated writers, whose work reflects and, at the same time, questions the South's most deeply held values. His novel The Sound and the Fury is frequently cited as one of the best books of all time, and all of his works powerfully explore complex societal and family issues that continue to be relevant in our own day. Yet, because of his decidedly difficult, stream-of-consciousness style, Faulkner's books remain sadly unknown to many readers. ...Nobel Laureate and two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner William Faulkner (1897-1962) was one of America's greatest and most celebrated w... |

Becoming Faulkner: The Art and Life of William Faulkner
ISBN: 9780199898350 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. William Faulkner was the greatest American novelist of the twentieth century, yet he lived a life marked by a pervasive sense of failure. Throughout his career, he remained haunted by his inability to master a series of personal and professional challenges: his less-than-heroic military career; the loss of his brother in an airplane crash; a disappointing stint as a Hollywood screenwriter; and a destructive bout with alcoholism. In this imaginative biography, Philip Weinstein--a leading authority on the great novelist--targets Faulkner's embattled sense of self as central to both his life and...

Unknowing: The Work of Modernist Fiction
ISBN: 9780801489730 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Philip Weinstein explores the modernist commitment to "unknowing" by addressing the work of three supreme experimental writers: Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, and William Faulkner. In their novels, the narrative props that support the drama of coming to know are refused. When space turns uncanny rather than lawful, when time ceases to be linear and progressive, objects and others become unfamiliar. So does the subject seeking to know them. Weinstein argues that modernist texts work, by way of surprise and arrest, to subvert the familiarity and narrative progression intrinsic to realist fiction....

The Semantics of Desire: Changing Models of Identity from Dickens to Joyce
ISBN: 9780691640433 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This work examines the dialectic of desire and value, as it affects the protagonist's identity, in fiction from Dickens and George Eliot through Hardy and Conrad to Lawrence and Joyce. Philip Weinstein describes the growing sexualization of the imagined body--the transformation of the protagonistic self from a figure defined by semantics, signification, and cultural value to one characterized by desire, force, and natural impulse. Originally published in 1984. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously...

Faulkner's Subject: A Cosmos No One Owns
ISBN: 9780521062138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Faulkner's Subject offers a reading of William Faulkner for our time, and does so by rethinking his masterpieces through the lenses of current critical theory. The book attends equally to the power of his work and to the current theoretical issues that would call that power into question. Drawing on poststructuralist, ideological, and gender theory, Weinstein examines the harrowing process of "becoming oneself" at the heart of these novels. This self is always male, and it achieves focus only through strategically mystifying or marginalizing women and blacks. The cosmos he called his own--the...

William Faulkner: A Life Through Novels
ISBN: 9780253022844 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Writing to American poet Malcolm Cowley in 1949, William Faulkner expressed his wish to be known only through his books. He would go on to win the Nobel Prize for literature several months later, and when he died famous in 1962, his biographers immediately began to unveil and dissect the unhappy life of "the little man from Mississippi." Despite the many works published about Faulkner, his life and career, it still remains a mystery how a poet of minor symbolist poems rooted in the history of the Deep South became one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century. Here, renowned... Writing to American poet Malcolm Cowley in 1949, William Faulkner expressed his wish to be known only through his books. He would go on to win the ... |
