The Columbia History of British Poetry

This book gives a political reading of E. L. Doctorow's fiction. For Doctorow, there was a tension between the ideals of his socially aware family and those of the new critics under whom he studied as an undergraduate. This tension, making him skeptical about the possibilities of political involvement, has been beneficial because it has enabled Doctorow to avoid the excesses of both polemical writing and formalism. Through a stance Tokarczyk terms "skeptical commitment," he has written political fiction of high literary quality. In part, he has done so by adapting genres such as the western and the romance. Furthermore, Doctorow has used experimental techniques to express political and historical themes, thereby writing a kind of postmodern fiction that still maintains the possibility of establishing some truths, while acknowledging indeterminacy.

«Смерть автора» — эссе 1967 года, одно из самых известных произведений французского философа, литературного критика и теоретика Ролана Барта, ключевое для постструктурализма. В нем Р. Барт выступает против практики традиционной литературной критики, в которой намерения и биография автора включаются в интерпретацию текста, и вместо этого утверждает, что написанное и создатель не имеют отношения друг к другу.

At selected points in the book there occur a series of brief interchapters. The purpose of these is to make explicit a number of questions which were continually being raised in the discussion that went into the making of the book. Why does melodrama play such an important part in the novels of the period, and what do we understand by the term? What kind of reader do we have in mind? What do we mean by 'the end' of Victorian fiction?
The book was the product of sustained collaboration among a group of people, all working in one place, who were keen both to have a fresh look at Victorian novels and to join in the more general contemporary debate about fiction. The great achievements in novel criticism in recent decades have been due very largely to ways we have found of talking about particular texts in terms of language, theme and structure. Building up on that, we have become increasingly interested in the kind of response the text seeks to elicit from the reader and the way the reader responds. The critical question has shifted from what do we read, to how do we read and the present book seeks to provide some answers.

-Over the past two decades, the process of cultural development and, in particular, the role of reading has been of growing interest, but recent research has been episodic and idiosyncratic. In this biographical dictionary, research devoted specifically to the reading habits of 19th century individuals who shaped Western culture is brought together for the first time. While giving prominent coverage to literary and political figures, the volume's 270 entries also include musicians, painters, educators, and explorers. Each entry includes brief biographical information, a concise summary of literary influences on the subject, and clear direction for further research. The book provides a practical tool for scholars wishing to trace the reading experience of important Western cultural figures.

ВВ "Лекциях по русской литературе", впервые опубликованных в 1981 году, крупнейший русско-американский писатель ХХ века Владимир Набоков предстал перед читающей публикой, знавшей его главным образом как блистательного романиста, в иных, порой неожиданных ипостасях. Лекционные курсы "Мастера европейской прозы" и "Русская литература в переводах", подготовленные для студентов колледжа Уэлсли и Корнеллского университета, где писатель преподавал в 1940-1950-е годы, раскрыли в Набокове вдумчивого читателя, проницательного, дотошного и при этом весьма пристрастного исследователя, темпераментного и требовательного педагога - и вместе с тем подтвердили его репутацию виртуозного художника слова. На страницах этого тома Набоков-лектор дает своей аудитории превосходный урок "пристального чтения" произведений Гоголя, Тургенева, Достоевского, Толстого, Чехова и Горького - чтения, метод которого исчерпывающе описан самим автором: "Литературу, настоящую литературу, не стоит глотать залпом, как снадобье, полезное для сердца или ума, этого "желудка" души. Литературу надо принимать мелкими дозами, раздробив, раскрошив, размолов, - тогда вы почувствуете ее сладостное благоухание в глубине ладоней; ее нужно разгрызать, с наслаждением перекатывая языком во рту, - тогда и только тогда вы оцените по достоинству ее редкостный аромат и раздробленные, размельченные частицы вновь соединятся воедино в вашем сознании и обретут красоту целого, к которому вы подмешали чуточку собственной крови".

Intended "to supply at once the places of a review, newspaper, and annual register", The Watchman contained poems, essays, and fooleries by Coleridge and other contributors. Each number also contained news of foreign and domestic occurrences (usually culled from the London daily press) and reports of debates in Parliament, and to several numbers Coleridge contributed reviews of recent publications. In this edition of The Watchman the editor has in his notes elucidated the background, political and literary, and traced almost every item to its original source - friend, correspondent, newspaper, journal, book, or Coleridge himself.

Amid all that has been published about William Faulkner, one subject—the nature of his thought—remains largely unexplored. But, as Daniel Singal's new intellectual biography reveals, we can learn much about Faulkner's art by relating it to the cultural and intellectual discourse of his era, and much about that era by coming to terms with his art. Through detailed analyses of individual texts, from the earliest poetry through Go Down, Moses, Singal traces Faulkner's attempt to liberate himself from the repressive Victorian culture in which he was raised by embracing the Modernist culture of the artistic avant-garde. To accommodate the conflicting demands of these two cultures, Singal shows, Faulkner created a complex and fluid structure of selfhood based on a set of dual identities—one, that of a Modernist author writing on the most daring and subversive issues of his day, and the other, that of a southern country gentleman loyal to the conservative mores of his community. Indeed, it is in the clash between these two selves, Singal argues, that one finds the key to making sense of Faulkner.

This book examines how seven major English novelists--D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, Arnold Bennett, Joseph Conrad, E. M. Forster, Henry James, and John Galsworthy--responded to the work of the Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky in the early years of the twentieth century. Dostoevsky's work provoked heated and exaggerated responses, both positive and negative, from these English writers. A study of their literary and critical reactions to Dostoevsky illuminates their aesthetic and cultural values, and the nature of the modern English novel.

While the main focus of this volume is English-language literary modernism from 1890 to 1939, the scope is actually much broader. The collected entries draw rich connections between literary modernism of this period and other disciplines, precursors and successors, and modernist writers in other languages. Main entries include people (Djuna Barnes, Samuel Beckett, Marcel Proust), disciplines (Anthropology; Dance and literary modernism, 1890-1940; Film and modernism; Music), countries and cultures (Africa and the South; Canada, French; Hispanic American modernismo; Russia), and movements and theoretical approaches (Dada, Expressionism, Primitivism, Psychoanalysis). Literary modernist connections to World War I are covered in a nearly six-page entry, The War. There are separate entries for key works of James Joyce and for Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, whose audacious premier is described with a verve unusual for a ready-reference encyclopedia.

The several hundred articles from nearly 70 academic contributors range from a few paragraphs (Gruppo 63) to some 15 pages for D. H. Lawrence and his work. Each entry is followed by a selected bibliography, with occasional annotations. A comprehensive index uses bold type to identify the main entry heading. Cross-references within and between entries also ease access. A selective bibliography of general works supplements the more specialized bibliographies at the end of each entry.

Encyclopedia of Literary Modernism will be most useful for academic libraries, but larger public and high-school libraries could benefit from having clearly presented ready-reference material on this very "influential artistic-cultural phenomenon" available in a single volume. The preface cites as valuable adjuncts to the current work Malcolm Bradbury and James McFarlane's classic essay collection Modernism, 1890-1930 (reprint, Penguin, 1991) and The Cambridge Companion to Modernism (Cambridge, 1999), though it points out that neither was designed as a reference book.
