Neither Black Nor White Yet Both: Thematic Explorations of Interracial Literature
ISBN: 9780195052824 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why can a "white" woman give birth to a "black" baby, while a "black" woman can never give birth to a "white" baby in the United States? What makes racial "passing" so different from social mobility? Why are interracial and incestuous relations often confused or conflated in literature, making "miscegenation" appear as if it were incest? Werner Sollors examines these questions and others in Neither Black Nor White Yet Both, a new and fully researched investigation of literary works that, in the past, have been read more for a black-white contrast of "either-or" than for an interracial realm...

Emerson and the Art of the Diary
ISBN: 9780195053333 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This first extended literary description and analysis of Emerson's journals, argues that they, and not his essays, are Emerson's masterpiece, constituting one of the greatest commentaries on nineteenth-century America by one of our most acute formal intelligences. First developing the critical methodology needed to examine the journal form, a genre long neglected by literary scholars, Rosenwald goes on to consider how Emerson the diarist found his form and what form he found. Included are comparisons between the journals and Emerson's lectures and essays, other Transcendentalist journals, the...

Contour in Time: The Plays of Eugene O'Neill
ISBN: 9780195053418 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Eugene O'Neill, one of America's most gifted and prolific playwrights, wrote more than 60 plays between 1914 and 1941, a level of creativity paralleled in modern times only by Bernard Shaw. The progress of his art from crude, one-act plays to the monumental tragedies of his later years is a story as dramatic and compelling as that of his tortured personal history. Combining the two, Professor Bogard traces the contours of O'Neill's life in his art. By discussing, in their approximate order of composition, the published and unpublished works, Bogard illuminates not only the plays, but also the...

Walking Point: American Narratives of Vietnam
ISBN: 9780195053517 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Arguing that the unprecedented nature of our first postmodernist war demanded either the revision of traditional modes of war writing or the discovery of new styles that would render the emotional and psychological center of a new national trauma, this study assesses the most important novels and personal memoirs written by Americans about the Vietnam War. Myers examines the work of Tim O'Brien, David Halberstam, Ward Just, Stephen Wright, John Del Vecchio, and others working in the modes of realism, the classical memoir, black humor, revised romanticism, and mnemonic narrative. Drawing on...

Shelley's Process: Radical Transference and the Development of His Major Works
ISBN: 9780195054866 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this set of thorough and revisionary readings of Percy Bysshe Shelley's best-known writings in verse and prose, Hogle argues that the logic and style in all these works are governed by a movement in every thought, memory, image, or word-pattern whereby each is seen and sees itself in terms of a radically different form. For any specified entity or figure to be known for "what it is," it must be reconfigured by and in terms of another one at another level (which must then be dislocated itself). In so delineating Shelley's "process," Hogle reveals the revisionary procedure in the poet's...

Revolution and the Word: The Rise of the Novel in America
ISBN: 9780195056532 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a unique perspective on the origins of American fiction, Cathy N. Davidson focuses not only on the early novels themselves but also on the people who produced, sold, and read them. She demonstrates how, in the aftermath of the American Revolution, the novel found a special place among some of the least privileged citizens of the new republic. Though now mostly forgotten, these early American novels enabled those who bought and read them--especially women and the lower classes--to move into the higher levels of literacy required by a democracy.

The Birth of the Modern Mind: Self, Consciousness, and the Invention of the Sonnet
ISBN: 9780195056921 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This revolutionary study presents new facts and an original theory about the origin of the thought and literature that may be considered "modern." Using fifty-one new translations of sonnets from four languages spanning seven centuries, Oppenheimer argues that "modern" thought and literature were born with the invention of the sonnet in 13th-century Italy. In revealing the sonnet as the first lyric form since the fall of the Roman Empire meant not for music or performance but for silent reading, the book demonstrates that the sonnet was the first modern literary form deliberately intended to...

Perils of the Night: A Feminist Study of Nineteenth-Century Gothic
ISBN: 9780195056938 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book argues that the source of Gothic terror is anxiety about the boundaries of the self: a double fear of separateness and unity that has had a special significance for women writers and readers. Exploring the psychological, religious, and epistemological context of this anxiety, DeLamotte argues that the Gothic vision focuses simultaneously on the private demons of the psyche and the social realities that helped to shape them. Her analysis includes works of English and American authors, among them Henry James, Mary Shelley, Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Emily Bronte, Charlotte...

Better Red: The Writing and Resistance of Tillie Olsen and Meridel Le Sueur
ISBN: 9780195056952 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Better Red is an interdisciplinary study addressing the complicated intersection of American feminism and the political left as refracted in Tillie Olsen's and Meridel Le Sueur's lives and literary texts. The first book-length study to explore these feminist writers' ties to the American Communist Party, it contributes to a reenvisioning of 1930s U.S. Communism as well as to efforts to promote working-class writing as a legitimate category of literary analysis. At once loyal members of the male-dominated Communist party and emerging feminists, Olsen and Le Sueur exhibit in their...

The Romance of Failure: First-Person Fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James
ISBN: 9780195057218 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book focuses on the intense intimacy between author and first-person narrator in the fictions of Poe, Hawthorne, and James in order to defend the beleaguered "I" in these works against the depersonalizing tendencies of postructuralism. In reaffirming the importance of the human subject for the study of narrative, Auerbach shows how the first person form, in particular, underscores fundamental problems of literary representation: how fictions come to be made, and the relation between these plots and the people who make them.

Fallen from the Symboled World: Precedents for the New Formalism
ISBN: 9780195057867 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study evaluates figure and form in contemporary poetry, especially the powers of simile and simile-like structures. Examining the works of Nemerov, Wilbur, Bowers, Hecht, Justice, Cunningham, Bishop, Van Duyn, Hollander, Pack, Kennedy, Ammons, Creeley, and Wright, Prunty argues that doubts about language, the tradition, and theistic assumptions embedded in the tradition have made simile and various simile-like arrangements into major modes of thought. From Lowell's early interest in the "similitudo" and the "phantasm" of Gilson, to Husserl's "phantasies" and Heidegger's interest in...

Reading Romantics: Texts and Contexts
ISBN: 9780195057874 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a collection of thirteen essays, some previously unpublished, on Byron and Wordsworth. Drawing on psychoanalysis, textual criticism, and historical scholarship, Manning explores the territory jointly mapped by the works that compel our attention and the theories by which we explain our engagement. Juxtaposing Byron and Wordsworth, Manning examines the situation of literature in the Romantic period and the interaction between the idea of originality the Romantics fostered and the means of production through which they expressed themselves.

The Economist: Henry Thoreau and Enterprise
ISBN: 9780195057898 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This major study brings to light Thoreau's relation to the complex economic discourse of his time and place. Specifically, it examines the impact of transformations in economic thinking and behavior that occurred in antebellum New England and America; these transformations at the level of language; and Thoreau's awareness of these transformations. Neufeldt situates Thoreau in significant economic conditions of his time, investigating how these conditions contained him even as he sought to contain them. Using Walden and "Life without Principle," as main examples, the book considers...

Sisters in Time: Imagining Gender in Nineteenth-Century British Fiction
ISBN: 9780195058222 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Asking why the 19th-century British novel features heroines, and how and why it features "feminine heroism," Susan Morgan traces the relationship between fictional depictions of gender and Victorian ideas of history and progress. Morgan approaches gender in selected 19th-century British novels as an imaginative category, accessible to authors and characters of either sex. Arguing that conventional definitions of heroism offer a fixed and history-denying perspective on life, the book traces a literary tradition that represents social progress as a process of feminization. The capacities for...

Altered Egos: Authority in American Autobiography
ISBN: 9780195058338 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work explores the "authority" of autobiography in several related senses: first, the idea that autobiography is authoritative writing because it is presumably verifiable; second, the idea that one's life is one's exclusive textual domain; third, the idea that, because of the apparent congruence between the implicit ideology of the genre and that of the nation, autobiography has a special prestige in America. Aware of the recent critiques of the notion of autobiography as issuing from, determined by, or referring to a pre-existing self, Couser examines the ways in which the authority of...

The School of Hawthorne
ISBN: 9780195060706 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The School of Hawthorne, Brodhead uses Hawthorne as a prime example of how literary traditions are made, not born. Under Brodhead's scrutiny, the Hawthorne tradition opens out onto a wide array of subjects, many of which have received little previous attention. He offers a detailed account of Hawthorne's life in American letters, showing how authors as varied as Melville, Howells, James, and Faulkner have learned from Hawthorne's model while all the while changing the terms in which he has been read. As he traces Hawthorne's continued life among his heirs, Brodhead also reflects...
