"Les Bienveillantes (The Kindly Ones), caused a literary sensation in 2006. Described as "deliberately repellent" by The New York Times, Jonathan Littell's novel tells the story of World War II through the eyes of former SS officer Maximilien Aue. This is the first academic study of this controversial, best-selling work. Twenty-one leading scholars discuss the aesthetics, themes and characters of the novel, as well as formal aspects of Littell's writing. They tackle ideas surrounding parricide, genocide, anti-Semitism and the Holocaust, as well as Littell's portrayal of both historical and fictional characters. The collection offers a deeply varied range of approaches to Littell's work and is essential reading for anyone interested in representations of World War II, the Holocaust and contemporary French literature. All the essays in this collection are written in French."--Publisher's website

"These seven essays by the most recent English translator of The Tale of Genji emphasize three major interpretive issues. What is the place of the hero (Hikaru Genji) in the work? What story gives the narrative underlying continuity and form? And how does the closing section of the tale (especially the ten "Uji chapters") relate to what precedes it? Written over a period of nine years, the essays suggest fresh, thought-provoking perspectives on Japan's greatest literary classic."--Publisher's description

    Introduction: a short essay on enthusiasm -- Sounding: Henry David Thoreau -- Ranting: Herman Melville -- Distributing: Ezra Pound -- Presenting: Marianne Moore -- Circulating: Frank O'Hara -- Relishing: James Schuyler -- Afterword: enthusiasm and audit. This book takes enthusiasm to be a defining feature of American literature, showing how successive major writers - Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler - have modernized and re-modeled Emerson's founding sense of enthusiasm. The book presents the writer as enthusiast, showing how enthusiasm is fundamental to the composition and the circulation of literature. Enthusiasm, it is argued, is the way literary value is passed on. Starting with a brief history of enthusiasm from Plato to Kant and Emerson, the book features chapters on each of Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, O'Hara, and Schuyler. Each chapter presents an aspect of the writer as enthusiast, the book as a whole charting the changing sense of literary enthusiasm from Romanticism to the present day. Lucidly written and combatively argued, the book will appeal to readers of American Literature or Modern Poetry, and to all those interested in the circulation of literary work

    Introduction: the spirit of liberty -- Le Côte de New York, or Marcel in America -- The impossible possible philosophers' man -- A bout de souffle -- Exquisite corpses/buried texts -- Proust's butterfly. "It is strange," Proust wrote in 1909, "that, in the most widely different departments ... there should be no other literature which exercises over me so powerful an influence as English and American." In the spirit of Proust's admission, this engaging and critical volume offers the first comparative reading of the French novelist in the context of American art, literature, and culture. In addition to examining Proust's key American influences--Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edgar Allan Poe, and James McNeill Whistler--Proust and America investigates the previously overlooked influence of the American neurologist George Beard, whose writings on neurasthenia and "American nervousness" contributed to the essential modernity of the author's work

    Chekhov's Vision of Reality --The Search for Form --Failed Experiments: The Early Plays --The Seagull: From Disaster to Triumph --Uncle Vanya: 'A Glimmer of Light Shining in the Distance' --Three Sisters: 'Oh if we could only know!' --The Cherry Orchard: Complete Synthesis of Vision and Form. "The author's contention is that Chekhov's plays have often been misinterpreted by scholars and directors, particularly through their failure to adequately balance the comic and tragic elements inherent in these works. Through a close examination of the form and content of Chekhov's dramas, the author shows how deeply pessimistic or overly optimistic interpretations fail to sufficiently account for the rich complexity and ambiguity of these plays. The author suggests that, by accepting that Chekhov's plays are synthetic tragi-comedies which juxtapose potentially tragic sub-texts with essentially comic texts, critics and directors are more likely to produce richer and more deeply satisfying interpretations of these works. Besides being of general interest to any reader interested in understanding Chekhov's work, the book is intended to be of particular interest to students of Drama and Theatre Studies and to potential directors of these subtle plays."--Publisher's description

"Why is the nation in a postcolonial world so often seen as a motherland? This pathbreaking study, Stories of women: Gender and narrative in the postcolonial nation, explores the perennially fascinating relationship between gender icons and foundational fictions of the nation in different postcolonial spaces." "The book will draw interest from readers and researchers of postcolonial, international and women's writing; of nation theory, colonial history and historiography; and of Indian, African, migrant and diasporic literatures."--Jacket Elleke Boehmer's work on the crucial intersections between independence, nationalism and gender has already proved canonical in the field. 'Stories of women' combines her keynote essays on the mother figure and the postcolonial nation, with incisive new work on male autobiography, 'daughter' writers, the colonial body, the trauma of the post-colony, and the nation in a transnational context. Focusing on Africa as well as South Asia, and sexuality as well as gender, Boehmer offers fine close readings of writers ranging from Achebe, Okri and Mandela to Arundhati Roy and Yvonne Vera, shaping these into a critical engagement with theorists of the nation like Fredric Jameson and Partha Chatterjee. This new paperback edition will be of interest to readers and researchers of postcolonial, international and women's writing; of nation theory, colonial history and historiography; of Indian, African, migrant and diasporic literatures, and is likely to prove a landmark study in the field

    Introduction: disrupting the critical genealogy of the Gothic -- 1. 'Unimaginable sensations': father-daughter incest and the economics of exchange -- 2. 'My more than sister': reexamining paradigms of sibling incest -- 3. Uncles and nieces: thefts, violence and sexual threats -- 4. More than just kissing: cousins and the changing status of family -- 5. Queer mothers: female sexual agency and male victims -- Conclusion: Incest and beyond -- Index. The first full-length study of incest in the Gothic genre, this book argues that Gothic writers resisted the power structures of their society through incestuous desires. It provides interdisciplinary readings of incest within father-daughter, sibling, mother-son, cousin and uncle-niece relationships in texts by authors including Emily Brontë, Eliza Parsons, Ann Radcliffe and Eleanor Sleath. The analyses, underpinned by historical, literary and cultural contexts, reveal that the incest thematic allowed writers to explore a range of related sexual, social and legal concerns. Through representations of incest, Gothic writers modelled alternative agencies, sexualities and family structures that remain relevant today

How might literary scholarship engage with the sustainability debate? Aimed at research scholars and advanced students in literary and environmental studies, this collection brings together twelve essays by leading and up-coming scholars on the theme of literature and sustainability. In today's sociopolitical world, sustainability has become a ubiquitous term, yet one potentially driven to near meaninglessness by the extent of its usage. While much has been written on sustainability in various domains, this volume sets out to foreground the contributions literary scholarship might make to notions of sustainability, both as an idea with a particular history and as an attempt to reconceptualise the way we live. Essays in this volume take a range of approaches, using the tools of literary analysis to interrogate sustainability's various paradoxes and to examine how literature in its various forms might envisage notions of sustainability

The legacy of the Second World War remains unsettled; no consensus has been achieved about its meaning and its lasting impact. This is pre-eminently the case in France, where the experience of defeat and occupation created the grounds for a deeply ambiguous mixture of resistance and collaboration, pride and humiliation, heroism and abjection, which writers and politicians have been trying to disentangle ever since. This book develops a theoretical approach which draws on trauma studies and hermeneutics; and it then focuses on some of the intellectuals who lived through the war and on how their experience and troubled memories of it continue to echo through their later writing, even and especially when it is not the explicit topic. This was an astonishing generation of writers who would go on to play a pivotal role on a global scale in post-war aesthetic and philosophical endeavours. The book proposes close readings of works by some of the most brilliant amongst them: Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir, Albert Camus, Charlotte Delbo, Paul Ricoeur, Emmanuel Levinas, Louis Althusser, Jorge Semprun, Elie Wiesel, and Sarah Kofman

    Introduction : the place of narratology in the historical study of eighteenth-century literature -- The eighteenth-century challenge to narrative theory -- Formalism and historicity reconciled in Henry Fielding's Tom Jones -- Perspective and focalization in eighteenth-century descriptions -- Temporality in Aphra Behn's Oroonoko and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe -- Temporality, subjectivity and the representation of characters in the eighteenth-century novel: from Defoe's Moll Flanders to Goethe's Wilhelm Meisters Lehrjahre -- Authorial narration reconsidered: Eliza Haywood's Betsy Thoughtless, Anonymous' Charlotte Summers, and the problem of authority in the mid-eighteenth-century novel -- Problems of tellability in German eighteenth-century criticism and novel-writing -- Immediacy: the function of embedded narratives in Wieland's Don Sylvio -- The tension between idea and narrative form: the example as a narrative structure in Enlightenment literature -- 'Speaking well of the dead': characterization in the early modern funeral sermon -- The use of paratext in popular eighteenth-century biography: the case of Edmund Curll -- Peritextual disposition in French eighteenth-century narratives. This collection of essays studies the encounter between allegedly ahistorical concepts of narratology and eighteenth-century literature. It questions whether the general concepts of narratology are as such applicable to historically specific fields, or whether they need further specification. Furthermore, at issue is the question whether the theoretical concepts actually are, despite their appearance of ahistorical generality, derived from the historical study of a particular period and type of literature. In the essays such concepts as genre, plot, character, event, tellability, perspective, temporality, description, reading, metadiegetic narration, and paratext are scrutinized in the context of eighteenth-century texts. The writers include some of the leading theorists of both narratology and eighteenth-century literature

    Indirect satire: theory and Spenserian practice -- Spenser's satire of indirection: affiliation, allusion, allegory -- Spenser and the English literary system in the 1590s -- Spenserian "entry codes" to indirect satire -- Thomas Middleton's satires before and after the Bishops' Ban -- After the Bishops' Ban: imitation of Spenserian satire. Scholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser's accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser's lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in The Shepheardes Calender and the Complaints volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England

The Ampelos episode is a key scene in the Dionysiaca of the late antique poet Nonnus. Through the death and transformation of the satyr Ampelos, Dionysus is provided with his major attributes: wine and the vine. The goal of this book is to determine the poetic language and technique of the Dionysiaca through a detailed literary analysis of this episode, and to place it in its late antique context

By analyzing Dionne Brand's Toronto, "What We All Long For" (2005), Chang-rae Lee's New York, "Native Speaker" (1995), and Karen Tei Yamashita's Los Angeles, "Tropic of Orange" (1997), Melanie U. Pooch provides the connecting link for exploring the triad of globalization and its effects, global cities as cultural nodal points, and cultural diversity in a globalizing age as a literary phenomenon. Thus, she contributes to a global, interdisciplinary, and multi-perspectival understanding of literature, culture, and society

    Sex and politics -- Work and leisure -- Science and religion -- Conclusion : humanity and its aftermath. Michel Houellebecq is perhaps the single most successful and controversial of all contemporary novelists writing in French. Houellebecq has become a global publishing phenomenon: his books have been translated worldwide, three film adaptations of his work have been produced, and the author has been the subject of million-euro publishing deals and of successive media scandals in France. His novels narrate a metaphysical mutation or paradigm shift through which humanity as we know it ceases to be the over-riding value or focus of our world when it comes into conflict with a competitor in the form of a post-human or neo-human species. It is the aim of this book to appraise the global significance of Houellebecq's novelistic visions while at the same time situating them within the context of French literature, culture and society

This is the first critical study in English to focus exclusively on the work of Marie NDiaye, born in central France in 1967, winner of the Prix Femina (2001), the Prix Goncourt (2009), shortlisted for the Man Booker International Prize (2013), and widely considered to be one of the most important French authors of her generation. Andrew Asibong argues that at the heart of NDiaye's world lurks an indefinable 'blankness' which makes it impossible for the reader to decode narrative at the level of psychology or event. Considering each of NDiaye's works (including her novels, theatre, short fiction and writing for children), Asibong assesses the aesthetic, emotional and political stakes of NDiaye's portraits of impenetrable selfhood. His book provides an original and provocative framework within which to read NDiaye as a simultaneously hybrid and hyper-French cultural figure, fascinating and fantastical practitioner of the postmodern - and reluctantly postcolonial - 'blank arts'

    Introduction:The Unchaining of the Beast --1.City Creatures --2.The Bat and the Beetle --3.Morlocks, Martians, and Beast-People --4.'Beast and man so mixty': The Fairy Tales of George MacDonald --5.Oscar Wilde: 'an unclean beast' --Conclusion. A critical exploration of travel, animals and shape-changing in fin de siècle literature. Bats, beetles, wolves, butterflies, bulls, panthers, apes, leopards and spiders are among the countless creatures that crowd the pages of literature of the late nineteenth century. Whether in Gothic novels, science fiction, fantasy, fairy tales, journalism, political discourse, realism or naturalism, the line between the human and the animal becomes blurred. Beastly Journeys examines these bestial transformations across a range of well-known and less familiar texts and shows how they are provoked not only by the mutations of Darwinism but by social and economic shifts that have been lost in retellings and readings of them. The physical alterations described by George Gissing, George MacDonald, Arthur Machen, Arthur Morrison, W.T. Stead, Bram Stoker, H.G. Wells, Oscar Wilde, and many of their contemporaries, are responses to changes in the social body as Britain underwent a series of social and economic crises. Metaphors of travel - social, spatial, temporal, mythical and psychological - keep these stories on the move, confusing literary genres along with the indeterminacy of physical shape that they relate. Beastly Journeys will appeal to anyone interested in the relationship between nineteenth-century literature and its contexts and especially to those interested in the fin de siècle and in metaphors of travel, animals and shape-changing

    Introduction : towards a reconceptualization of trauma -- Theorizing trauma : Romantic and postmodern perspectives on mental wounds -- The "wounded mind" : feminism, trauma, and self-narration in Mary Wollstonecraft's The wrongs of woman -- Anatomizing the "demons of hatred" : traumatic loss and mental illness in William Godwin's Mandeville -- A tragedy of incest : trauma, identity, and performativity in Mary Shelley's Mathilda -- Polluted daughters : incestuous abuse and the postmodern tragic in Jane Smiley's A thousand acres -- Inheriting trauma : family bonds and memory ties in Anne Michaels's Fugitive pieces -- The body of evidence : family history, guilt, and recovery in Trezza Azzopardi's The hiding place. Trauma has become a hotly contested topic in literary studies. But interest in trauma is not new; its roots extend to the Romantic period, when novelists and the first psychiatrists influenced each others' investigations of the "wounded mind". This book looks back to these early attempts to understand trauma, reading a selection of Romantic novels in dialogue with Romantic and contemporary psychiatry. It then carries that dialogue forward to postmodern fiction, examining further how empirical approaches can deepen our theorizations of trauma. Within an interdisciplinary framework, this study reveals fresh insights into the poetics, politics, and ethics of trauma fiction

The Francophone Caribbean and the American South are sites born of the plantation, the common matrix for the diverse nations and territories of the circum-Caribbean. This book takes as its premise that the basic configuration of the plantation, in terms of its physical layout and the social relations it created, was largely the same in the Caribbean and the American South. Essays written by leading authorities in the field examine the cultural, social, and historical affinities between the Francophone Caribbean and the American South, including Louisiana, which among the Southern states has had a quite particular attachment to France and the Francophone world. The essays focus on issues of history, language, politics and culture in various forms, notably literature, music and theatre

The Lord Mayors' shows, 1585-1639 : summary ; Governance of the City of London Pageantry and Power is the first full and in-depth cultural history of the Lord Mayor's Show in the early modern period. It provides new insight into the culture and history of the London of Shakespeare's time and beyond. Central to the cultural life of London, the Lord Mayor's Shows were high-profile and lavish entertainments produced by some of the most talented writers of the time. Employing an interdisciplinary approach, Pageantry and Power explores various important factors, including the relationship between the printed texts of the Shows and actual events. This full-scale study of the civic works of important writers enhances our understanding of their other, often better-known, dramatic works contributing to a fuller estimation of their literary careers. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars and students of early modern literature, drama, history, civic culture, pageantry, urban studies, cultural geography, book history, as well as the interested general reader

    Conclusion: 'Capitalism has manifestly no future' -- Orwell Today. Cover; Contents; List of Abbreviations; Introduction: Discovering Orwell; 1. 'Until They Become Conscious They Will Never Rebel': Orwell and the Working Class; 2. 'Why I Join the ILP': Orwell and the Left in the Thirties; 3. 'Giants are Vermin': Orwell, Fascism and the Holocaust; 4. 'A Long Series of Thermidors': Orwell, Pacifism and the Myth of the People's War; 5. 'It is Astonishing How Little Has Happened': Orwell, the Labour Party and the Attlee Government; 6. 'Ceaseless Espionage': Orwell and the Secret States; 7. '2+2=5': Orwell, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and the New Left. George Orwell was one of the most significant literary figures on the left in the twentieth century. While titles such as 1984, Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia are still rightly regarded as modern classics, his own politics are less well understood. Hope Lies in the Proles offers a sympathetic yet critical account of Orwell's political thinking and its continued significance today. John Newsinger explores various aspects of Orwell's politics, detailing Orwell's attempts to change working-class consciousness, considering whether his attitude towards the working class was romantic, realistic or patronising - or all three at different times. He also asks whether Orwell's anti-fascism was eclipsed by his criticism of the Soviet Union, and explores his ambivalent relationship with the Labour Party. Newsinger also breaks important new ground regarding Orwell's shifting views on the USA, and his relationship with the progressive Left and feminism

    "Shakespeare and Canada: Remembrance of Ourselves captures the state of Canadian scholarship on Shakespeare at a pivotal historical moment, when events around the world are commemorating the four-hundredth anniversary of Shakespeare's death and the beginning of his remarkable afterlife. Covering the Stratford Festival, the cult CBC television program Slings and Arrows, major Canadian critics such as Northrop Frye and Marshall McLuhan, the influential acting teacher Neil Freiman, the rise of Quebecois and First Nation approaches to Shakespeare, and Shakespeare's place in secondary schools today, this collection reflects the diversity and energy of that afterlife in Canada. Collectively, they suggest that Shakespeare continues to offer Canadians "remembrance of ourselves." While the essays in this volume are about diverse topics, together they reflect the state of Shakespeare's reception, performance, and reputation in Canada. The individual stories Canadians tell about Shakespeare, Daniel Fischlin reminds us in the closing essay, are always, but never only, about ourselves."-- Race, National Identity, and the Hauntological Ethics of Slings & ArrowsPerforming "Indigenous Shakespeare" in Canada: The Tempest and The Death of a Chief; Shakespeare, a Late Bloomer on the Quebec Stage; Mediatic Shakespeare: McLuhan and the Bard; Shakespeare and the "Cultural Lag" of Canadian Stratford in Alice Munro's "Tricks"; Beyond (or Beneath) the Folio: Neil Freeman's Shakespearean Acting Pedagogy in Context; Rhyme and Reason: Shakespeare's Exceptional Status and Role in Canadian Education; The Truth About Stories About Shakespeare ...

    Indirect satire: theory and Spenserian practice -- Spenser's satire of indirection: affiliation, allusion, allegory -- Spenser and the English literary system in the 1590s -- Spenserian "entry codes" to indirect satire -- Thomas Middleton's satires before and after the Bishops' Ban -- After the Bishops' Ban: imitation of Spenserian satire. Scholars of Edmund Spenser have focused much more on his accomplishments in epic and pastoral than his work in satire. Scholars of early modern English satire almost never discuss Spenser. However, these critical gaps stem from later developments in the canon rather than any insignificance in Spenser's accomplishments and influence on satiric poetry. This book argues that the indirect form of satire developed by Spenser served during and after Spenser's lifetime as an important model for other poets who wished to convey satirical messages with some degree of safety. The book connects key Spenserian texts in The Shepheardes Calender and the Complaints volume with poems by a range of authors in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, including Joseph Hall, Thomas Nashe, Tailboys Dymoke, Thomas Middleton and George Wither, to advance the thesis that Spenser was seen by his contemporaries as highly relevant to satire in Elizabethan England

    "This extract from Ovid's 'Theban History' recounts the confrontation of Pentheus, king of Thebes, with his divine cousin, Bacchus, the god of wine. Notwithstanding the warnings of the seer Tiresias and the cautionary tale of a character Acoetes (perhaps Bacchus in disguise), who tells of how the god once transformed a group of blasphemous sailors into dolphins, Pentheus refuses to acknowledge the divinity of Bacchus or allow his worship at Thebes. Enraged, yet curious to witness the orgiastic rites of the nascent cult, Pentheus conceals himself in a grove on Mt. Cithaeron near the locus of the ceremonies. But in the course of the rites he is spotted by the female participants who rush upon him in a delusional frenzy, his mother and sisters in the vanguard, and tear him limb from limb. The episode abounds in themes of abiding interest, not least the clash between the authoritarian personality of Pentheus, who embodies 'law and order', masculine prowess, and the martial ethos of his city, and Bacchus, a somewhat effeminate god of orgiastic excess, who revels in the delusional and the deceptive, the transgression of boundaries, and the blurring of gender distinctions. This course book offers a wide-ranging introduction, the original Latin text, study aids with vocabulary, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Gildenhard and Zissos's incisive commentary will be of particular interest to students of Latin at AS and undergraduate level. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Ovid's poetry and discussion of the most recent scholarly thought."--Publisher's website Acknowledgements -- Abbreviations -- Symbols and Terms -- Reference Works -- Grammatical Terms -- Ancient Literature -- Introduction. 1.
