Описание:
The most interesting tensions and ambitions of twentieth-century American poetry intersect in one resonant word: voice. The term "poetic voice" emphasizes poetry's reliance on sound, which is prominent in ethnic American writings, new formalism, and many species of performance and sound-directed poetry, both mainstream and avant-garde. However, voice is also a metaphor for originality, personality, and the illusion of authorial presence within printed poetry—meanings that have been particularly useful (and provocative) in literary criticism and creative writing. In Voicing American Poetry, Lesley Wheeler explores how and why American poetry of the twentieth century and beyond keeps returning to voice as an idea, even though the term frustrates definition. Poetic voice is a crucial term precisely because of its ambiguity: both poets and critics invoke voice to argue for poetry's power. Because voice can also be a medium for poetry, this book offers a uniquely full history of twentieth- and twenty-first-century poetry performance in the United States. Beginning with Edna St. Vincent Millay's captivating performances of presence on the page, the stage, and the radio, Wheeler investigates the rise of the academic poetry reading circuit and its various lively alternatives, from the Beats to the poetry-slam scene. Along the way Wheeler examines how Langston Hughes transformed oral culture into visual poetry, and how collaborative poetry challenges the very idea of self-expression. Voicing American Poetry also features an annotated list of important poetry readings in the United States since 1950. Wheeler finds that American poetry itself remains a vital, coherent enterprise and that this commitment is constantly renewed in lecture halls, auditoriums, coffee shops, bars, and classrooms.

Описание:
Tradition, community, and pride are fundamental aspects of the history of Appalachia, and the language of the region is a living testament to its rich heritage. Despite the persistence of unflattering stereotypes and cultural discrimination associated with their style of speech, Appalachians have organized to preserve regional dialects -- complex forms of English peppered with words, phrases, and pronunciations unique to the area and its people. Talking Appalachian examines these distinctive speech varieties and emphasizes their role in expressing local history and promoting a shared identity.
Beginning with a historical and geographical overview of the region that analyzes the origins of its dialects, this volume features detailed research and local case studies investigating their use. The contributors explore a variety of subjects, including the success of African American Appalachian English and southern Appalachian English speakers in professional and corporate positions. In addition, editors Amy D. Clark and Nancy M. Hayward provide excerpts from essays, poetry, short fiction, and novels to illustrate usage. With contributions from well-known authors such as George Ella Lyon and Silas House, this balanced collection is the most comprehensive, accessible study of Appalachian language available today.

Описание: This volume assembles for the first time a staggering multiplicity of reflections and readings of John Fante's 1939 classic, Ask the Dust, a true testament to the work's present and future impact. Charting the trajectory of one Arturo Bandini over the multiethnic terrain of Los Angeles, ambition and bravado soar, crash, and burn in Fante's signature novel in ways that resonate profoundly some eighty years after Stackpole Press's first edition entered the world. As our attention is increasingly drawn to the West Coast as the bellwether of new beginnings and bold starts, Arturo Bandini's ranting and roving through a dry, dusty L.A. kicks up a windswept nostalgia whose grit settles in the soul and stays. Bandini's testy love for the Mexican Camilla Lopez, whose own tough and tender persona runs counterpoint to his own, is explored for all of its gendered, ethnic, sociological, and economic potential in the essays and documents that make up this volume. The contributors to this work--writers, critics, fans, scholars, screenwriters, and directors--analyze the provocative set of diaspora tensions in Fante's masterpiece that distinguish it from those recounting earlier, East Coast migrations and minglings. A must-read for aficionados of L.A. fiction and new migration literature, John Fante's 'Ask the Dust': A Joining of Voices and Views, is destined for landmark status as the first volume of Fante studies to reveal the novel's evolving intertextualities and intersectionalities. Fans, scholars, and critics alike will delight in the diversity of praise and opinions that Fante's masterpiece has sparked in a global readership whose enthusiasm knows no bounds. While Arturo Bandini may be celebrating his eightieth birthday in print, there is no doubt that this collection of essays launches Fante's hero into his next eighty years, and beyond.

Описание: This is a reassessment of the notions of gender which have been used to analyse Renaissance literature. Rather than assuming that men and women write differently because of background, education and culture, it reconsiders links between the author`s sex and the constructions of gender in texts.
