Transnationalism and American Literature: Literary Translation 1773-1892
ISBN: 9780415770682 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is transnationalism and how does it affect American literature? This book examines nineteenth century contexts of transnationalism, translation and American literature. The discussion of transnationalism largely revolves around the question of what role nationalism plays in the spaces and temporalities of the transatlantic. Boggs demonstrates that the assumption that American literature has become transnational only recently - that there is such a thing as an "era" of transnationalism - marks a blindness to the intrinsic transatlanticism of American literature. What is transnationalism and how does it affect American literature? This book examines nineteenth century contexts of transnationalism, tra... |

Doctrine and Difference: Essays in the Literature of New England
ISBN: 9780415912396 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work shows how the spirit and forms of liberalism are a necessary but by no means sufficient explanation for the flowering of literature in 19th-century New England. The enduring power of many antebellum American texts is seen as derived fron puritanism. The colonialist writers were attempting to have things their own provincial way amidst an air of rejection by the cosmopolitan literary establishment. Capturing the violence of repression, the energy required to meet its moral argument head on, and the disease of embattled survival, this volume shows how the works of writers such as...

ISBN: 9780415933865 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Crime and the Nation explores the correlation between fiction writing and national identity in the late eighteenth century when these two enterprises went hand in hand. The 1780s and '90s witnessed a spirited public debate on crime and punishment that produced a new kind of fiction and a new kind of prison. The world's first penitentiary-style prison opened at Philadelphia in 1790. At the same time jurists, reformers and fiction writers found new uses for the criminal. Suddenly, he was fascinating, he was edifying to the community, he was worth displaying and reforming. In a...

Voice of the Oppressed in the Language of the Oppressor : A Discussion of Selected Postcolonial Literature from Ireland, Africa and America
ISBN: 9780415936910 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text conducts a selective survey of 12 authors from colonized cultures showing how each writer has necessarily created hybrid texts, in which the voice of the oppressed and the language of the oppressor blend, in order to find a space from which to speak. At work in these texts, Daniels shows, is an act of appropriation whereby the thinkers and writers of colonized cultures must learn the language of the colonizer and talk back to their community, thus making themselves translators who occupy a constructed hybrid space between two cultures. Covering three continents and over 100 years,...

Thoughts Painfully Intense: Hawthorne and the Invalid Author
ISBN: 9780415937856 / Angielski / Twarda / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thoughts Painfully Intense reads Hawthorne's fiction in the context of 19th-century medical and pseudomedical discourse. Many physicians, health reformers and lecturers, such as Chandler Robbins, Sylvester Graham, William Sweetster and Isaac Ray, believed that authors and scholars, particularly male authors and scholars, were vulnerable to nervous irritability, breakdown and paralysis. According to these authorities, men of letters, strained by intense study or lost in imaginative fantasies, became debilitated invalids. And, what was perhaps even more alarming, this debility could be...

Brown Gold: Milestones of African American Children's Picture Books, 1845-2002
ISBN: 9780415938570 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Brown Gold is a compelling history and analysis of African-American children's picturebooks from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. At the turn of the nineteenth century, good children's books about black life were hard to find if, indeed, young black readers and their parents could even gain entry into the bookstores and libraries. But today, in the "Golden Age" of African-American children's picturebooks, one can find a wealth of titles ranging from Happy to be Nappy to Black is Brown is Tan. In this book, Michelle Martin explores how the genre has evolved...

Nature Writing
ISBN: 9780415938891 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this comprehensive study of the genre, Don Scheese traces its evolution from the pastoralism evident in the natural history observations of Aristotle and the poetry of Virgil to current American writers. He documents the emergence of the modern form of nature writing as a reaction to industrialization. Scheese's personal observations of natural settings sharpen the reader's understanding of the dynamics between author and locale. His study is further informed by ample use of illustrations and close readings of core writers such as Thoreau, John Muir, and Mary Austin showing how each...

Gertrude Stein and Wallace Stevens: The Performance of Modern Consciousness
ISBN: 9780415939447 / Angielski / Twarda / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces the presence of the theater, both as an abstract concept and a literal space, in the plays and poetry of Gertrude Stein and Wallace Stevens as it attempts to explain the parallel depictions of consciousness that are found in both authors' work.
Literary modernists inherited a self that was fallible, a self that was seen as an ultimately failed gesture of expression, and throughout much modern literature is a sense of disillusionment with more traditional notions of selfhood. As more conventional ways of thinking about consciousness became untenable, so too did...

Lost City: Fitzgerald's New York
ISBN: 9780415940559 / Angielski / Twarda / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. F. Scott Fitzgerald left behind a substantial body of work on New York, yet his city remains terra incognita - talked about but rarely well met. Lost City takes on this important and under-examined aspect of Fitzgerald's writing. Locating Fitzgerald's narratives in the context in which they were written, the author presents a detailed profile of the city and the urban civilization Fitzgerald knew - and in particular the Edwardian New York of Theodore Roosevelt and Edith Wharton. This work, informed by a skilful combination of literary criticism and cultural theory, provides an enlightening...

Border Modernism: Intercultural Readings in American Literary Modernism
ISBN: 9780415941495 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Reorienting the field of American literary modernism, Christopher Schedler defines an intercultural form of representation termed border modernism that challenges the aesthetic hegemony of metropolitan (high) modernism. In this dialogical study, Schedler compares the works of European and Anglo-American modernists (D.H. Lawrence, Ernest Hemingway and Willa Cather) with the works of Mexican, Native American and Chicano writers (Mariano Azuela, John Joseph Mathews and Americo Paredes) who engaged with modernist theories and practices. In the process he uncovers a unique intercultural aesthetic...

Will the Circle Be Unbroken?: Family and Sectionalism in the Virginia Novels of Kennedy, Caruthers, and Tucker, 1830-1845
ISBN: 9780415941570 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work examines eight Virginia novels against the background of the political and social concerns of the Jacksonian years in which they were written, arguing that the authors used familial processes as a metaphor to discuss issues that they regarded as critical. Each chapter focuses on a single novel - Swallow Barn, Kentuckian in New York, Cavaliers of Virginia, Horse-Shoe Robinson, George Balcombe, The Partisan Leader, and Knights of the Horseshoe - and examines its connections to the social and political tensions of the time of its publication - general progress, sectional unity,...
