By Words Alone : The Holocaust in Literature
ISBN: 9780226233369 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The creative literature that evolved from the Holocaust constitutes an unprecedented encounter between art and life. Those who wrote about the Holocaust were forced to extend the limits of their imaginations to encompass unspeakably violent extremes of human behavior. The result, as Ezrahi shows in "By Words Alone," is a body of literature that transcends national and cultural boundaries and shares a spectrum of attitudes toward the concentration camps and the world beyond, toward the past and the future.

The Eye's Mind significantly alters our understanding of modernist literature by showing how changing visual discourses, techniques, and technologies affected the novels of that period.

Late Cold War Literature and Culture : The Nuclear 1980s
ISBN: 9781137513076 / Angielski / Twarda / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Late Cold War Literature and Culture is the first book properly to theorise the 1980s as a nuclear decade. In the early 1980s a resurgence of nuclear anxiety accompanied the increasingly bellicose Cold War rhetoric of both East and West. The possibility of nuclear war haunted the period and this had a profound impact on literature and culture. Not only were an unprecedented number of overtly nuclear fictions published, but revealing flashes of nuclear anxiety became common in mainstream literature. By reading 1980s British and United States texts (predominantly, but not only, fiction and...

The Celtic Unconscious: Joyce and Scottish Culture
ISBN: 9780268101015 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Celtic Unconscious offers a vital new interpretation of modernist literature through an examination of James Joyce's employment of Scottish literature and philosophy, as well as a commentary on his portrayal of shared Irish and Scottish histories and cultures.

The book draws upon all of Joyce's major texts but focuses mainly on Finnegans Wake in making three main, interrelated...

The Routledge Handbook of International Beat Literature
ISBN: 9780415785457 / Angielski / Twarda / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. There was a time when "the Beats" seemed a familiar, even fixed, pantheon: Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs, Corso, Ferlinghetti, with Neil Cassady as Wild Boy and icon and Gary Snyder as Buddhist and eco-guru. But we have infinitely moved on. Scholarship has increasingly recognized the likes of Herbert Huncke, John Clellon Holmes, Michael McClure, Ray Bremser, Andy Clausen, David Meltzer, Jack Micheline, Kathy Acker, Harold Norse, Ed Sanders. Women's Beat authorship looks to established presences like Di Prima, Joanne Kyger, Anne Waldman, Ruth Weiss, Joyce Johnson, Janine...

Chuck Palahniuk, Parodist: Postmodern Irony in Six Transgressive Novels
ISBN: 9780786479290 / Angielski / Miękka / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chuck Palahniuk, America's premier transgressive novelist, enjoys a tremendous readership. Yet he has not necessarily been embraced by critics or academics. His prose is considered vulgar by some, but his body of work addresses a core motivation of 21st-century life: individual self-empowerment. Palahniuk writes about what it means to be on the outside looking in, revising familiar narratives for a contemporary audience to get at the heart of the human condition--everyone wants a chance to win his or her fair share, no matter the cost.
In Haunted, Snuff, Pygmy, Tell-All, Damned and...

Modernist Experiments in Genre, Media, and Transatlantic Print Culture
ISBN: 9781472458834 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The years from 1890 through 1935 witnessed an explosion of print, both in terms of the variety of venues for publication and in the vast circulation figures and the quantity of print forums. Arguing that the formal strategies of modernist texts can only be fully understood in the context of the material forms and circuits of print culture through which they were produced and distributed, Jennifer Sorensen shows how authors and publishers conceptualized the material text as an object, as a body, and as an ontological problem. She examines works by Henry James, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes,...

Maximalism in Contemporary American Literature: The Uses of Detail
ISBN: 9781138672260 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book begins a new and foundational discussion of maximalism by investigating how the treatment of detail in contemporary literature impels readers to navigate, tolerate, and enrich the cultural landscape of postindustrial America. It studies the maximalist novels of David Foster Wallace, Nicholson Baker, Thomas Pynchon, and others, considering how overly-detailed writing serves the institutional, emotional, and intellectual needs of contemporary readers and writers. The book argues that maximalist novels not only exceed perceived limits of style, subject matter, and scope, but strive...

Decolonial Approaches to Latin American Literatures and Cultures engages and problematizes concepts such as "decolonial" and "coloniality" to question methodologies in literary and cultural scholarship. While the eleven contributions produce diverse approaches to literary and cultural texts ranging from Pre-Columbian to contemporary works, there is a collective questioning of the very idea of "Latin America," what "Latin American" contains or leaves out, and the various practices and locations constituting Latinamericanism. This transdisciplinary study aims to open an evolving...

Tolkien's Theology of Beauty : Majesty, Splendor, and Transcendence in Middle-earth
ISBN: 9781137553447 / Angielski / Twarda / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this book, Lisa Coutras explores the structure and complexity of J.R.R. Tolkien s narrative theology, synthesizing his Christian worldview with his creative imagination. She illustrates how, within the framework of a theological aesthetics, transcendental beauty is the unifying principle that integrates all aspects of Tolkien s writing, from pagan despair to Christian joy.
J.R.R. Tolkien s Christianity is often held in an unsteady tension with the pagan despair of his mythic world. Some critics portray these as incompatible, while Christian analysis tends to oversimplify the presence... In this book, Lisa Coutras explores the structure and complexity of J.R.R.

Strange Narrators in Contemporary Fiction: Explorations in Readers' Engagement with Characters
ISBN: 9780803294967 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A storyteller's craft can often be judged by how convincingly the narrative captures the identity and personality of its characters. In this book, the characters who take center stage are -strange- first-person narrators: they are fascinating because of how they are at odds with what the reader would wish or expect to hear--while remaining reassuringly familiar in voice, interactions, and conversations. Combining literary analysis with research in cognitive and social psychology, Marco Caracciolo focuses on readers' encounters with the -strange- narrators of ten contemporary novels,...

British Boarding Houses in Interwar Women's Literature : Alternative domestic spaces
ISBN: 9781472471208 / Angielski / Twarda / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Embraced for the dramatic opportunities afforded by a house full of strangers, the British boarding house emerged as a setting for novels published during the interwar period by a diverse range of women writers from Stella Gibbons to Virginia Woolf. To use the single room in the boarding house or bedsit, Terri Mullholland argues, is to foreground a particular experience. While the single room represents the freedoms of independent living available to women in the early twentieth century, it also marks the precariousness of unmarried women s lives. By placing their characters in this transient...

Unmaking Love: The Contemporary Novel and the Impossibility of Union
ISBN: 9780231178228 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contemporary novel does more than revise our conception of love--it explodes it, queers it, and makes it unrecognizable. Rather than providing union, connection, and completion, love in contemporary fiction destroys the possibility of unity, harbors negativity, and foregrounds difference. Comparing contemporary and modernist depictions of love to delineate critical continuities and innovations, Unmaking Love locates queerness in the novelistic strategies of Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, Hanif Kureshi, Alan Hollinghurst, and Hari Kunzru. In their work, "queer love" becomes more than...

By analyzing Dionne Brand's Toronto in What We All Long For, Chang-rae Lee's New York in Native Speaker, and Karen Tei Yamashita's Los Angeles in Tropic of Orange, Melanie U.

Toward Diversity and Emancipation : (Re-)Narrating Space in the Contemporary American Novel
ISBN: 9783837635089 / Angielski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the pivotal role which space and spatiality assume in the plot and narrative discourse of contemporary American literary narratives. Embarking from a new, spatialized approach to cultural history and particularly narrative theory that might also prove useful for neighboring philologies, Marcel Thoene hypothesizes that the canon of novels selected represents a dialectic of simultaneous affirmation and subversion of the American myth of space. This brings about an integrative and emancipatory function of space, reflecting the current dynamic toward a more transcultural,...
