Benjamin Franklin, Jonathan Edwards: And the Representation of American Culture
ISBN: 9780195077759 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This interdisciplinary collection of comparative essays by distinguished historians and literary critics looks at aspects of the thought of Jonathan Edwards and Benjamin Franklin and considers the place of these two men in American culture. Probably the two most examined figures of the colonial period, they have often been the object of comparative studies. These characterizations usually portray them as mutually exclusive ideal types, thus placing them in categories as different and opposed as "traditional" and "modern." In these essays--by such scholars as William Breitenbach, Edwin...

Melville and Repose: The Rhetoric of Humor in the American Renaissance
ISBN: 9780195077827 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Bryant's book is a strong and significant argument for the centrality of the comic and repose in Melville's novels. The purpose of Melville and Repose is dual: to ground the uses of romantic humor in Melville in sensitive readings of contemporaneous European and American writings, and to offer a definitive account of the comic as the shaping force of Melville's narrative voice throughout the major phase of his literary career. Bryant argues that Melville fused a "rhetoric of geniality" and "picturesque sensibility" adopted from the British with a "rhetoric of deceit" borrowed...

Mark Twain and the Art of the Tall Tale
ISBN: 9780195078015 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mark Twain and the Art of the Tall Tale is a study of a peculiar American comic strategy and its role in Mark Twain's fiction. Focusing on the writer's experiments with narrative structure, Wonham describes how Twain manipulated conventional approaches to reading and writing by engaging his audience in a series of rhetorical games--the rules of which he adapted from the conventions of tall tale in American oral and written traditions. Wonham goes on to show how Twain's appropriation of the genre developed through the course of his career, from The Innocents Abroad to Tom...

ISBN: 9780195078664 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tracing the evolution of Susan Glaspell's writing, Veronica Makowsky provides fascinating glimpses of the life of a woman who broke the barriers against female journalists, advocated socialism, struggled with the precepts of Greenwich Village free love, was one of the founders of the Provincetown Players, participated in the sessions of the feminist Heterodoxy Club, placed women's concerns on the stage as a playwright and actress, and wrote about a turbulent century of American women with courage, optimism, sensitivity, and love.

Selected Writings of Judith Sargent Murray
ISBN: 9780195078831 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. As a committed feminist, she urged American women to enter a "new era in female history," yet published her own writings under a man's name in hopes of more widely disseminating her ideas. Murray published poems, essays, and plays regularly in the Massachusetts Magazine. Throughout this early work, Murray addressed various controversial topics, including female education,...

Fictional Republic: Horatio Alger and American Political Discourse
ISBN: 9780195079234 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 13 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Investigating the persistence and place of the formulas of Horatio Alger in American politics, The Fictional Republic reassesses the Alger story in its Gilded Age context. Carol Nackenoff argues that Alger was a keen observer of the dislocations and economic pitfalls of the rapidly industrializing nation, and devised a set of symbols that addressed anxieties about power and identity. As classes were increasingly divided by wealth, life chances, residence space, and culture, Alger maintained that Americans could still belong to one estate. The story of the youth who faces threats to...

Cold War Criticism and the Politics of Skepticism
ISBN: 9780195079654 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Cold War Criticism and the Politics of Skepticism, Tobin Siebers claims that modern criticism is a Cold War criticism. Postwar literary theory has absorbed the skepticism, suspicion, and paranoia of the Cold War mentality, and it plays them out in debates about the divided self, linguistic indeterminacy, the metaphysics of presence, multiculturalism, canon formation, power, cultural literacy, and the politics of literature. The major critical movements of the postwar age, Siebers argues, belong to three dominant phases of the Cold War era. The age of charismatic leadership...

Elizabeth Bishop: The Restraints of Language
ISBN: 9780195079661 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This illuminating study examines Elizabeth Bishop's rhetorical strategies and the way they shape the formal and thematic movements of her poetry and stories. Unlike other recent studies of Bishop, Doreski's does not concern itself primarily with her visual imagery, but rather deals with her poetry as a series of linguistic strategies designed to create the maximum illusion of representation while resisting the romantic devices of self-revelation and solipsistic narration. Doreski argues that Bishop takes advantage of the inadequacies of language, and with a postmodern sense of limitation...

Romances of the Republic: Women, the Family, and Violence in the Literature of the Early American Nation
ISBN: 9780195079883 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Romances of the Republic contributes to the lively field of scholarship on the interconnection of ideology and history in early American literature. Shirley Samuels illustrates the relations of sexual, political, and familial rhetoric in American writing from 1790 to the 1850s. With special focus on depictions of the American Revolution and on the use of the family as a model and instrument of political forces, she examines how the historical novel formalizes the more extravagant features of the gothic novel--incest, murder, the horror of family--while incorporating a sentimental...

Nobody's Home: Speech, Self, and Place in American Fiction from Hawthorne to DeLillo
ISBN: 9780195080223 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Nobody's Home is a bold view of the American novel from its beginnings to the contemporary scene. Focusing on some of the deepest instincts of American life and culture--individual liberty, freedom of speech, constructing a life--Arnold Weinstein brilliantly sketches the remarkable career of the American self in some of the major works of the past one hundred fifty years. Weinstein contends that American writers are haunted by the twin specters of the self as a mirage, as Nobody, and by the brutal forces of culture and ideology that deny selfhood to people on the basis of money, sex,...

ISBN: 9780195080384 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The early 1890s through the late 1920s saw an explosion in serious long fiction by women in the United States. Considering a wide range of authors--African American, Asian American, white American, and Native American--this book looks at the work of seventeen writers from that period: Frances Ellen Harper, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Sarah Orne Jewett, Alice Dunbar-Nelson, Kate Chopin, Pauline Hopkins, Gertrude Stein, Mary Austin, Sui Sin Far, Willa Cather, Humishuma, Jessie Fauset, Edith Wharton, Ellen Glasgow, Anzia Yezierska, Edith Summers Kelley, and Nella Larsen.

Gide's Bent: Sexuality, Politics, Writing
ISBN: 9780195080865 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study investigates the place of sexuality in the writings of Andre Gide. Focusing on his writing of the 1920s and 1930s, the years in which Gide wrote most openly about his homosexuality, and also the years of his most notable left-wing political activity, the work interrogates both the political content of his reflections on his homosexuality and the ways in which his sexuality inflected his political interests.

Gide's Bent: Sexuality, Politics, Writing
ISBN: 9780195080872 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this provocative new book, Michael Lucey examines the unstable convergence of sexual, political, and literary commitments in Andre Gide's writing of the 1920s and 1930s--the years in which Gide wrote most openly about his homosexuality and participated most actively in left-wing politics. Through close readings of his memoirs, novels, and political tracts, Gide's Bent interrogates both the political content of Gide's ways of reflecting on his homosexuality and the ways his sexuality inflected his political interests.

The Female Thermometer: Eighteenth-Century Culture and the Invention of the Uncanny
ISBN: 9780195080988 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The work of leading scholar Terry Castle, called by the New York Times "always engaging...consistently fascinating," has helped to revolutionize eighteenth-century studies. The Female Thermometer brings together Castle's essays on the phantasmagoric side of eighteenth-century literature and culture. Taking as her emblem the fanciful "female thermometer," an imaginary instrument invented by eighteenth-century satirists to measure levels of female sexual arousal, Castle explores what she calls the "impinging strangeness" of the eighteenth-century imagination--the ways in which...

Framing the Margins: The Social Logic of Postmodern Culture
ISBN: 9780195082395 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This dramatic rereading of postmodernism seeks to broaden current theoretical conceptions of the movement as both a social-philosophical condition and a literary and cultural phenomenon. Phil Harper contends that the fragmentation considered to be characteristic of the postmodern age can in fact be traced to the status of marginalized groups in the United States since long before the contemporary era. This status is reflected in the work of American writers from the thirties through the fifties whom Harper addresses in this study, including Nathanael West, Anais Nin, Djuna Barnes, Ralph...

Violence in the Black Imagination: Essays and Documents
ISBN: 9780195082494 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 1992 has been an explosive year for racial relations in the United States--from the reactions to the Rodney King verdict to debate about Malcolm X and the film portrayal of his role in American history. What relations do the recent events in Los Angeles have to the Watts Riots in 1965? Violence in the Black Imagination shows that these recent events force us to understand the history of racism in America and its legacy of antagonism and violence. Ronald T. Takaki presents three short novels of major African-American leaders in the nineteenth century: Frederick Douglass, the leading...

High & Low Moderns: Literature & Culture 1889-1939
ISBN: 9780195082661 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of essays on modernist culture reassesses the convergence of low and high cultures, of socialist and aesthete, late Victorian and young Georgian, the popular and the coterie. Academic literary studies have until recently preferred to treat the "opaque," "difficult" writings of high moderns Conrad, Yeats, Woolf, and Eliot, and the more accessible work of the low moderns Kipling, Shaw, and Wells in separate categories. In contributions by scholars David Bromwich, Roy Foster, Edna Longley, Louis Menand, Edward Mendelson, and others, High and Low Moderns brings these...

A Jean Toomer Reader: Selected Unpublished Writings
ISBN: 9780195083293 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Jean Toomer achieved instant recognition as a critic and thinker in 1923 with the publication of his novel Cane, a harsh, eloquent vision of black American hardship and suffering. But because of his reclusive, introspective nature, Toomer's fame waned in later years, and today his other contributions to American thought and literature are all but forgotten. Now, this collection of unpublished writings restores a crucial dimension to our understanding of this important African American author. Thematically arranging letters, sketches, poems, autobiography, short stories, a play, and a...

Tragedy's End: Closure and Innovation in Euripidean Drama
ISBN: 9780195083446 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Euripides is a notoriously problematic and controversial playwright whose innovations, according to Nietzsche, brought Greek tragedy to an early death. Dunn here argues that the infamous and artificial endings in Euripides deny the viewer access to a stable or authoritative reading of the play, while innovations in plot and ending opened tragedy up to a medley of comic, parodic, and narrative impulses. Part One explores the dramatic and metadramatic uses of novel closing gestures, such as aetiology, closing prophecy, exit lines of the chorus, and deus ex machina. Part Two shows how...
