Описание: Charles Dickens`s public readings have not had the attention they deserve; and yet Dickens put as much effort into perfecting his performances as he did with his novels. These performances were sensational events and won Dickens thousands of new admirers. This book tells that story and brings the events alive, with more detail than ever before.
The work of Peter von Matt, Switzerland’s finest living literary critic, offers a model of humanistic scholarship par excellence: learned, gracious, elegant, dancing nimbly from history and culture to politics and philosophy. Von Matt weaves engaging literary analyses that are simultaneously interpretations not only of authors and texts but also of Swiss nationhood itself. Inspired in particular by his 2012 volume Das Kalb vor der Gotthardpost: Zur Literatur und Politik der Schweiz (The Calf Fleeing the St. Gotthard Mail Coach: On the Literature and Politics of Switzerland; winner of that year’s Swiss Book Prize), this interdisciplinary collection of essays by leading North American scholars of Swiss Studies supplies a critical but appreciative engagement with von Matt’s writing. Of interest to students of literature and of Switzerland, it is the first volume devoted specifically to probing the legacy of von Matt’s thought. It is thus a worthy testimony to the richness and influence of one of late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Switzerland’s leading intellectuals.
Die Schriften von Peter von Matt, dem bedeutendsten Literaturkritiker der heutigen Schweiz, sind Beispiele humanistischer Gelehrsamkeit par excellence. Gebildet, anmutig und elegant bewegen sie sich leichtf??ig zwischen Geschichte und Kultur zu Politik und Philosophie. Dadurch entstehen ansprechende Literaturanalysen, die nicht nur wichtige Autoren und Texte, sondern auch die Schweizer nationale Identit?t an sich interpretieren. Besonders durch sein 2012 erschienenes und mit dem Schweizer Buchpreis gekr?nten Buch Das Kalb vor der Gotthardpost: Zur Literatur und Politik der Schweiz inspiriert, liefert diese interdisziplin?re Essaysammlung, die von f?hrenden nordamerikanischen Swiss Studies Forschern verfasst wurde, eine manchmal kritische, aber dabei immer auch mit Wertsch?tzung durchzogene Auseinandersetzung mit von Matts Schriften. Studenten der Schweizer Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften bietet diese bahnbrechende Sammlung die M?glichkeit, sich mit von Matts Gedankengut auseinanderzusetzen. Damit legt der vorliegende Band von dem Reichtum und dem Einfluss eines der f?hrenden Schweizer Intellektuellen des sp?ten 20. und fr?hen 21. Jahrhunderts Zeugnis ab.

Описание:
For Virginia Woolf, H.D., Mary Butts and Gwendolyn Brooks, things mobilise creativity, traverse domestic, public and rural spaces and stage the interaction between the sublime and the mundane. Ordinary things are rendered extraordinary by their spiritual or emotional significance, and yet their very ordinariness remains part of their value.
This book addresses the intersection of spirituality, things and places - both natural and built environments - in the work of these four women modernists. From the living pebbles in Mary Butts's memoir to the pencil sought in Woolf's urban pilgrimage in 'Street Haunting', the Christmas decorations crafted by children in H.D.'s autobiographical novel The Gift and Maud Martha's love of dandelions in Brooks's only novel, things indicate spiritual concerns in these writers' work. Elizabeth Anderson contributes to current debates around materiality, vitalism and post-secularism, attending to both mainstream and heterodox spiritual expressions and connections between the two in modernism. How we value our spaces and our world being one of the most pressing contemporary ethical and ecological concerns, this volume contributes to the debate by arguing that a change in our attitude towards the environment will not come from a theory of renunciation but through attachment to and regard for material things.

Описание:
Addressing the Victorian obsession with the sordid materiality of modern life, this book studies dirt in nineteenth-century English literature and the Victorian cultural imagination. Dirt litters Victorian writing - industrial novels, literature about the city, slum fiction, bluebooks, and the reports of sanitary reformers. It seems to be "matter out of place," challenging traditional concepts of art and disregarding the concern with hygiene, deodorization, and purification at the center of the "civilizing process." Drawing upon Material Cultural Studies for an analysis of the complex relationships between dirt and textuality, the study adds a new perspective to scholarship on both the Victorian sanitation movement and Victorian fiction. The chapters focus on Victorian commodity culture as a backdrop to narratives about refuse and rubbish; on the impact of waste and ordure on life stories; on the production and circulation of affective responses to filthin realist novels and slum travelogues; and on the function of dirt for both colonial discourse and its deconstruction in postcolonial writing. They address questions as to how texts about dirt create the effect of materiality, how dirt constructs or deconstructs meaning, and how the project of writing dirt attempts to contain its excessive materiality. Sch lting discusses representations of dirt in a variety of texts by Charles Dickens, E. M. Forster, Elizabeth Gaskell, George Gissing, James Greenwood, Henry James, Charles Kingsley, Henry Mayhew, George Moore, Arthur Morrison, and others. In addition, she offers a sustained analysis of the impact of dirt on writing strategies and genre conventions, and pays particular attention to those moments when dirt is recycled and becomes the source of literary creation.

Watson analyzes writers who engaged professionally with anthropology-Barbara Pym, Ursula Le Guin, Saul Bellow, Edouard Glissant-and anthropologists who adopted literary forms-Laura Bohannan, Michel Leiris, and Claude Levi-Strauss.

Описание: Gender, Collaboration, and Authorship in German Culturechallenges a model of literary production that persists in literary studies: the so-called Geniekult or the idea of the solitary male author as genius that emerged around 1800 in German lands. A closer look at creative practices during this time indicates that collaborative creative endeavors, specifically joint ventures between women and men, were an important mode of literary production during this era. This volume surveys a variety of such collaborations and proves that male and female spheres of creation were not as distinct as has been previously thought. It demonstrates that the model of the male genius that dominated literary studies for centuries was not inevitable, that viable alternatives to it existed. Finally, it demands that we rethink definitions of an author and a literary work in ways that account for the complex modes of creation from which they arose.
