Описание:
This innovative volume establishes autofiction as a new and dynamic area of theoretical research in English. Since the term was coined by Serge Doubrovsky, autofiction has become established as a recognizable genre within the French literary pantheon. Yet unlike other areas of French theory, English-language discussion of autofiction has been relatively limited - until now.
Starting out by exploring the characteristic features and definitions of autofiction from a conceptual standpoint, the collection identifies a number of cultural, historical and theoretical contexts in which the emergence of autofiction in English can be understood. In the process, it identifies what is new and distinctive about Anglophone forms of autofiction when compared to its French equivalents. These include a preoccupation with the conditions of authorship; writing after trauma; and a heightened degree of authorial self-reflexivity beyond that typically associated with postmodernism.By concluding that there is such a field as autofiction in English, it provides for the first time detailed analysis of the major works in that field and a concise historical overview of its emergence. It thus opens up new avenues in life writing and authorship research.

Описание:
First published in 1987. Many Victorian novels that considered social problems made extensive use of contemporary source material for their descriptions. This book aims to provide a greater acquaintance with this non-literary material -- illustrating and exemplifying issues that the authors treated imaginatively. The material is divided into parts dealing with: the industrial north of England, London and the agricultural poor. Extracts from writings that bear directly on the fiction of writers like Dickens and Gaskell are featured, as are Government Blue Books and newspaper reports and articles. This volume also contains articles by Dickens and others, from his magazine, Household Words.
Описание: Examining the authorial and cross-media practices of the English novelist Elinor Glyn (1864-1943), Vincent L. Barnett and Alexis Weedon trace Glyn`s work as a novelist in the United Kingdom, her success in Hollywood as an adaptor.
Автор: Brophy Brigid Название: Prancing Novelist: In Praise of Ronald Firbank ISBN: 1564788970 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781564788979 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 2897.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: One of the most penetrating and sympathetic explorations ever undertaken by one writer into the mind of another, Prancing Novelist is far more than a simple tribute or work of research. Prancing Novelist is not only a monument to Firbank, but is also a showcase for Brophy`s own uproarious prose, not to mention her genius for telling good stories.
Описание: Why have so many prominent literary authors—from Philip Pullman and Jos? Saramago to Mich?le Roberts and Colm T?ib?m—recently rewritten the canonical story of Jesus Christ? What does that say about our supposedly secular age? In this insightful study, Magdalena Maczynska defines and examines the genre of scriptural metafiction: novels that not only transform religious texts but also draw attention to these transformations. In addition to providing rich examples and close readings, Maczynska positions literary studies within interdisciplinary debates about religion and secularity. Her book demonstrates a surprising turn of events: even as contemporary novelists deconstruct the traditional categories of “secular” and “sacred” writing, they open up new spaces for scripture in contemporary culture.

Описание: John Nathan provides a lucid and vivid account of Natsume Soseki (1867-1916), the father of the modern novel in Japan. This biography elevates Soseki to his rightful place as a great synthesizer of literary traditions and a brilliant chronicler of universal experience who, no less than his Western contemporaries, anticipated the modernism of the twentieth century.

Описание: Jane Wheare concerns herself with Virginia Woolf`s artistry in "The Voyage Out", "Night and Day" and "The Years", where Woolf exploited and developed the "realist" model, finding in it the most appropriate vehicle through which to put across obliquely her own ideas about women and society.

Описание: In these essays, McMaster`s recurring concern is with the interpenetration of intelligence with emotion among Austen`s characters. The book explores Austen`s popularity in our culture and then moves on to an examination of all the novels, of the operation of love and the articulation of desire.
