American Literature in the World: An Anthology from Anne Bradstreet to Octavia Butler
ISBN: 9780231157360 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 504 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. American Literature in the World is an innovative anthology offering a new way to understand the global forces that have shaped the making of American literature. The wide-ranging selections are structured around five interconnected nodes: war; food; work, play, and travel; religions; and human and nonhuman interfaces. Through these five categories, Wai Chee Dimock and a team of emerging scholars reveal American literature to be a complex network, informed by crosscurrents both macro and micro, with local practices intensified by international concerns. Selections include poetry from...

Through Other Continents: American Literature Across Deep Time
ISBN: 9780691114507 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What we call American literature is quite often a shorthand, a simplified name for an extended tangle of relations." This is the argument of Through Other Continents, Wai Chee Dimock's sustained effort to read American literature as a subset of world literature. Inspired by an unorthodox archive--ranging from epic traditions in Akkadian and Sanskrit to folk art, paintings by Veronese and Tiepolo, and the music of the Grateful Dead--Dimock constructs a long history of the world, a history she calls "deep time." The civilizations of Mesopotamia, India, Egypt, China, and... What we call American literature is quite often a shorthand, a simplified name for an extended tangle of relations."

Shades of the Planet: American Literature as World Literature
ISBN: 9780691128528 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a globalizing age, studying American literature in isolation from the rest of the world seems less and less justified. But is the conceptual box of the nation dispensable? And what would American literature look like without it?Leading scholars take up this debate in Shades of the Planet, beginning not with the United States as center, but with the world as circumference. This reversed frame yields a surprising landscape, alive with traces of West Africa, Eastern Europe, Iran, Iraq, India, China, Mexico, and Australia. The Broadway musical Oklahoma has aboriginal...

Empire for Liberty: Melville and the Poetics of Individualism
ISBN: 9780691015095 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Wai Chee Dimock approaches Herman Melville not as a timeless genius, but as a historical figure caught in the politics of an imperial nation and an "imperial self." She challenges our customary view by demonstrating a link between the individualism that enabled Melville to write as a sovereign author and the nationalism that allowed America to grow into what Jefferson hoped would be an "empire for liberty."

Theo Fales is a one-time historian turned book editor who specializes in ghostwriting the memoirs of leading American policy-makers. For over twenty-five years, Theo has been helping retired generals and CIA directors justify their decisions in the first-person. One day, however, hearing a song at a colleague s memorial service, Theo has a vision: he senses, in the music, a completely different way to live. He becomes obsessed by a need to align musical time with the metre of his own life and prose. Theo s method opens onto two seemingly contradictory interior landscapes: one, a rage of...
