    When he died from tuberculosis at the age of thirty-one, Kajii Motojirō had written only twenty short stories. Yet his life and work, it is argued here, sheds light on a significant moment in Japanese history and, ultimately, adds to our understanding of how modern Japanese identity developed. By the time Kajii began to write in the mid-1920s there was heated debate among his peers over "legitimate" forms of literary expression: Japanese Romantics questioned the value of a western-inspired version of modernity; others were influenced by Marxist proletarian literature or modernist experimentation; still others tried to create a distinctly Japanese fictional style that concentrated on first-person perspective, the so-called "I-novel." There was a general sense that Japan needed to reinvent itself, but writers and artists were at odds over what form this reinvention should take. Throughout his career, Kajii drew from these various camps but belonged to none of them, making his work an invaluable indicator of a culture in crisis and transition. The Youth of Things is the first full-length book devoted to Kajii Motojirō. It brings together English translations of nearly all his completed stories with an analysis of his literature in the context of several major themes that locate him in 1920s Japan. In particular, Dodd links the writer's work with the physical body: Kajii's subjective literary presence was grounded first and foremost in his TB-stricken physical body, hence one cannot be studied without the other. His concerns with health and mortality drove him to play a central role in constructing a language for modern literature and to offer new insights into ideas that intrigued so many other Taishō intellectuals and writers. In addition, Kajii's early years as a writer were strongly influenced by the cosmopolitan humanism of the White Birch (Shirakaba) school, but by the time his final work was published in the early 1930s, an environment of greater cultural introspection was beginning to take root, encapsulated in the expression "return to Japan" (nihon kaiki). Only a few years separate these two moments in time, but they represent a profound shift in the aspirations and expectations of a whole generation of writers. Through a study of Kajii's writing, this book offers some sense of the demise of one cultural moment and the creation of another

    Introduction: Saying No to Death? William Faulkner's aesthetic of mortality -- A fine dead sound: Quentin Compson's suicide in The Sound and the Fury -- Living was terrible: Confrontations with mortality in As I Lay Dying -- Burying the fallen monument: The death of the Old South in "A Rose for Emily" -- A bloody mischancing of human affairs: Murder and violence in Light in August and Absalom, Absalom! -- Ah'm goan home: Narration, homegoing, and whiteness in Go Down, Moses -- Conclusion: Breaking the pencil: Death and voice in Faulkner's fiction "William Faulkner and Mortality is the first full-length study of mortality in William Faulkner's fiction. The book challenges earlier, influential scholarly considerations of death in Faulkner's work that claimed that writing was his authorial method of 'saying No to death'. Through close-readings of six key works-The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, "A Rose for Emily", Light in August, Absalom, Absalom!, and Go Down, Moses-this book examines how Faulkner's characters confront various experiences of human mortality, including grief, bereavement, mourning, and violence. The trauma and ambivalence caused by these experiences ultimately compels these characters to 'say Yes to death'. The book makes a clear distinction between Faulkner's quest for literary immortality through writing and the desire for death exhibited by the principal characters in the works analysed. William Faulkner and Mortality: A Fine Dead Sound offers a new paradigm for reading Faulkner's oeuvre, and adds an alternative voice to a debate within Faulkner scholarship long thought to have ended"--

    In Falling Towers, J. A. Richardson examines how The Waste Land, The Dunciad, and Speke Parott are built upon similar patterns of conflict and anxiety. In each of the poems the poet presents his society and himself as under threat. He tries to counter the threat with some kind of assertion of poetic authority but fails since he dramatizes this conflict in such a way as to reveal his own insecurity. The presence of the flood in the three poems provides an example of the pattern. The flood acts both as a metaphor of the problem the poet is confronting, and, through hints of impending catastrophe, as his imaginative way of dealing with it. But in predicting a deluge the poet also dramatizes the prophecy in such a way that it appears self-interested, personally motivated, and unreliable. The dramatization implies the poet's unacknowledged anxiety about his own authority The similar casts of the imagination shared by these three poems can be traced back to the similar cultural conditions under which the poets wrote. Each stood in, and indeed stood for, a cultural tradition that was exhausted and dying. Skelton was arguably the last medieval poet, Pope the last Renaissance poet, and Eliot the last romantic. One important pattern of conflict that can be seen in all three poems is between age and youth. Each poet speaks with an aged voice. Skelton's parrot is a very old bird and the poet himself is not very far behind him; Pope is present behind The Dunciad in the character he publicly cultivated in the 1730s of the wise old philosopher; and Eliot's speaker in The Waste Land, who is probably much like Eliot himself, is implicitly aged. The speakers' worlds are dominated by youth, a motif that is quite marked in each of the poems Confronted with a youthful world that they neither understand nor like, the poets try to assert their own authority, but the dramatic situations give them away. The old man railing against the excesses of youth appears less as sage and authoritative than as threatened, aggressive, envious, and uncertain. The second, more general pattern of conflict is that which exists between a world grown too confusingly crowded and a poet who insists upon limitation and selection. Profusion and crowds are important images of the corrupt world in all three poems, and the threat they represent is intimately embodied in the poems' many voices. Although Falling Towers concentrates on three poets and three poems, it aims not merely to analyze the poems but also to suggest something about their place in literary history. At its most ambitious, the book proposes an argument about the importance of a poet's position in the development of his or her tradition and about the pattern of English cultural change

    [This book] reveals the unique ways inwhich Shakespeare brings dying, death, and the dead to life. It establishes the cultural, religious and social contexts for thinking about early modern death, with particular reference to the plague which ravaged Britain during his lifetime, and against the divisive background of the Reformation. But it also shows how death on stage is different from death in real life. The dead come to life, ghosts haunt the living, and scenes of mourning are subverted by the fact that the supposed corpse still breathes."--Back cover Something after death -- Measure for measure : the art of dying -- Death in comedy -- A plague on your houses -- Joy of the worm : death and sex -- Dying again : English histories -- Another Golgotha : places of death -- Die, die, die, die, die : cueing death -- Kindle again : life in death -- Coda : afterlives

    All too often, childbirth in early modern England was associated with fear, suffering and death, and this melancholy preoccupation weighed heavily on the seventeenth-century mind. This landmark study examines John Milton's life and work, uncovering evidence of the poet's engagement with maternal mortality and the dilemmas it presented. Drawing on both literary scholarship and historical research, Louis Schwartz provides important readings of Milton's poetry, including Paradise Lost, as well as a wide-ranging survey of the medical practices and religious beliefs that surrounded the perils of childbirth. The reader is granted a richer understanding of how seventeenth-century society struggled to come to terms with its fears, and how one of its most important poets gave voice to that struggle "Exquisitt torment" and "infinitt grace" : maternal suffering and the rites of childbirth -- When things went wrong : maternal mortality and obstetric anxiety -- Religious frameworks -- "Too much conceaving" : Milton's "On Shakespear" -- "Tears of perfect moan" : Milton and the Marchioness of Winchester -- "Farr above in spangled sheen" : A mask and its epilogue -- The wide wound and the veil : sonnet 23 and the "birth" of Eve in Paradise lost -- "Conscious terrours" and "The promis'd seed" : seventeenth-century obstetrics and the allegory of sin and death in Paradise lost -- The "womb of waters" and the "abortive gulph" : on the reproductive imagery of Milton's cosmos

She ends with a heartrending prayer in the voice of her mother Edwidge Danticat's The Art of Death: Writing the Final Story is at once a personal account of her mother dying from cancer and a deeply considered reckoning with the ways that other writers have approached death in their own work. "Writing has been the primary way I have tried to make sense of my losses," Danticat notes in her introduction. "I have been writing about death for as long as I have been writing." The book moves outward from the shock of her mother's diagnosis and sifts through Danticat's writing life and personal history, all the while shifting fluidly from examples that range from Gabriel García Márquez's one Hundred Years of Solitude to Toni Morrison's Sula. The narrative, which continually circles the many incarnations of death from individual to large-scale catastrophes, culminates in a beautiful, heartrending prayer in the voice of Danticat's mother. A moving tribute and a work of astute criticism, The Art of Death is a book that will profoundly alter all who encounter it -- Provided by publisher Introduction : Writing life -- Living dyingly -- Ars moriendi -- Dying together -- Wanting to die -- Condemned to die -- Close calls -- Circles and circles of sorrow -- Feetfirst

    Das sichere Wissen um die eigene Sterblichkeit ist ein schwerer Schlag für die evolutionär tief verankerten Selbsterhaltungsinstinkte des Menschen. Todesangst verlangt Bewusstsein und wir sind vermutlich – mit einem Wort Friedrich Dürrenmatts – „das einzige Lebewesen, das weiß, dass es sterben wird.“ Dieses Wissen hat von Anfang an in der Geschichte der Spezies Mensch zahlreiche Verteidigungsmechanismen und kulturelle Bewältigungsstrategien generiert. Dem psychischen und physischen Skandalon des Sterbens sollen – in unserem 21. Jahrhundert mehr denn je – Zügel angelegt werden. Die aktuell einflussreichste sozialpsychologische Theorie zur Auseinandersetzung mit unserer Sterblichkeit, die so genannte Terror-Management-Theorie, sieht im „schöpferischen Unsterblichkeitsmodus“ (Robert Lifton) von Literatur und Kunst ein probates Mittel, unserer Todesangst zu begegnen. Dieses Buch überprüft diese und weitere Thesen aktueller Forschungen zur Todesangst am Beispiel der Verwobenheit von Biographie und literarischer Produktion unter anderem bei Annette von Droste-Hülshoff , Franz Kafka, Hermann Hesse, Wolfgang Herrndorf und Sigmund Freud.

    Issues of Death offers a fresh approach to the tragic drama of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Starting from the premise that death is a historical construct that is differently experienced in every culture, it treats Renaissance tragedy as an instrument for re-imagining the human encounter with death. Analyses of major plays by Marlowe, Kyd, Shakespeare, Webster, Middleton, and Ford explore the relation of tragedy to the macabre tradition, to theapocalyptic displays of the anatomy theatre, and to the spectacular arts of funeral.
