    In this major study of the work of Joanna Russ, Jeanne Cortiel gives a clear introduction to the major feminist issues relevant to Russ’s work and assesses its development. The book will be especially valuable for students of SF and feminist SF, especially in its concern with the function of woman-based intertextuality. Although Cortiel deals principally with Russ’s novels, she also examines her short stories, and the focus on critically neglected texts is a particularly valuable feature of the study

    The subject matter of this collection is varied, but displays Jones’ stance as a practising SF writer and a feminist; the writing is characterised by both an incisive engagement with the texts and a refusal to dress that engagement in jargon. This very readable book provides insight into the work of one of our most interesting writers and presents strong – sometimes even subversive – views of a range of modern SF and fantasy

    This gracefully written and well thought-out study deals with a neglected collection of poems by Spenser, which was issued in 1591 at the height of his career. While there has been a good deal written in recent years on two of the poems in the collection, ‘Mother Hubberd’s Tale’ and ‘Muiopotmos’, Brown innovatively addresses the collection in its entirety. He urges us to see it as a planned whole with a consistent design on the reader: he fully acknowledges, and even brings out further, the heterogeneity of the collection, but he examines it nevertheless as a sustained reflection on the nature of poetry and the auspices for writing in a modern world, distancing itself from the traditions of the immediate past. The strength of this work lies both in the originality of its project and in the precision and enterprise of the close reading that informs its argument. Interest in the concern of Spenser’s poetry with the nature of poetry is in the current critical mainstream, but here the attentiveness is both unusually focused and unusually sustained. Brown garners more than would be expected from the translations in the Complaints, while at the same time including striking and individual chapters on the better known ‘Mother Hubberd’s Tale’ and ‘Muiopotmos’; he advances understanding of these extremely subtle texts and fully justifies his wider approach to the collection as a whole. Arguing that Spenser’s relationship to literary tradition is more complex than is often thought, Brown suggests that Spenser was a self-conscious innovator whose gradual move away from traditional poetics is exhibited by the different texts in the Complaints. He further suggests that the Complaints are a ‘poetics in practice’, which progress from traditional ideas of poetry to a new poetry that emerges through Spenser’s transformation of traditional complaint

    This is the first full-length study to cover the complete texts of Hervé Guibert (1955́"—–1991), offering a thorough documentation of his literary output. The book is guided by Guibert́"—’s relation to the novel, a major line of enquiry throughout, as well as his experimentation with voices in particular. One of Boulé́"—’s main contentions is that Guibert arrives at the creation of a new literary genre, the roman faux, with the publication of his best-known work To the Friend who did not save my life. The book ends by considering the works Guibert produced after he was diagnosed as HIV positive, within the parameter of the voices of the self

    This novel, one of two collaborations between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford, is one of the earliest to be concerned with modern, mechanical culture, and as such foreshadowed other writers such as George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Symbolising the collapse of old treasured political values at the turn of the century and underlining the urgency of renovation, the novel involves the unrequited love for a young women of Arthur Granger, an aristocratic and unsuccessful novelist. Granger betrays the ideals on which he prides himself for this woman, a nameless, ethereal and goddess-like agent from a strange world. The collaboration between Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford influenced their own independent work and, in the words of Ezra Pound, ‘What Flaubert had done to change French prose, Conrad and Ford did to transform English prose.’

    "Thirty leading Victorianists from around the world collaborate here in a multidimensional analysis of the breadth and sweep of modern Britain's longest, unruliest literary epoch." "Its topical spectrum, precision of focus, and accessible style keep the book available for ready consultation, while an index and network of cross-references encourage further study. At the same time, when read sequentially the book renders a textured and polyphonic image, by diverse hands exemplifying diverse standpoints, of the Victorian imagination: a manifold cultural force that notoriously eludes near summary, yet bequeathed to our own day a recognizable tradition with which we are destined to struggle - as scholars, as modern people - for some time to come."--Jacket.

    Plantear el vínculo estrecho que une el texto literario a un ética donde la ciencia no usurpe su lugar al sujeto y al deseo es el objetivo último de La huelga de la cultura . Original lectura de cuatro textos maestros a partir de las teorías de Freud, Lacan, Bajtin, Derrida y otros pensadores. Frankenstein de Mary Shelley, Cumbres borrascosas de Emily Brönte, los relatos de Edgar Allen Poe y Dr. Jekyll y Mr. Hyde de R.L. Stevenson aportan una dimensión que nos obliga a repensar esa difícil y olvidada relación que hay entre la ciencia, el saber y la verdad. En sus resquicios surgen todos los fantasmas, los monstruos que en su reaparición vienen a recordarnos que la realidad que habitamos es una construcción ficticia y paradójica, en la que el factor central no es, como querría la ciencia, el conocimiento, la razón, sino el cuerpo, la pulsión. La distinción supone reconocer, con Lacan, que lo que domina en el humano es el sujeto que habla, sobre el sujeto que comprende. Es a la irrupción del cuerpo como signo en el campo del saber a lo que dedican estos ensayos especial atención, entendiendo que en esa conjunción significante se juega, precisamente, el destino humano. Lo que este libro destaca es que si la cultura está hoy en huelga es porque la hemos aislado, convertido en un objeto más de consumo, en un instrumento alejado de toda perspectiva ética. Y la ética que persigue este análisis de los textos literarios contrasta con las propuestas tradicionales al poner en relación el acto y el deseo, al reconocer que el bien del sujeto no es un saber dado. Ética, pues, del acto que ha de juzgarse sólo en el marco del discurso en que el acto mismo se inserta

Missing Persons by Ivan Vladislavic /Valeria Guidotti --Wilson Harris A case apart /EIsa Linguanti --Works Cited /Elsa Linguanti , Francesco Casotti , and Carmen Concilio --Contributors /Elsa Linguanti , Francesco Casotti , and Carmen Concilio. The present collection of essays endeavours to furnish informed responses to central questions posed by the editors: Is the fact that the marvellous coexists with the factual and never resolves itself into the supernatural an indication that the whole literary project of 'magical realism' is an instrumental and representational form which can be regarded as particularly suitable for reconciling dichotomies and oppositions otherwise experienced as intolerable? Was 'magical realism' an explosive process in cultural dynamics, taking place at intersections of heterogeneous cultures most favourable to the efflorescence of this type of literature? The authors of the various essays - on Patrick White and David Malouf, Ben Okri, Syl Cheney-Coker, Robert Kroetsch, Gwendolyn MacEwan, Jack Hodgins, Salman Rushdie, Janet Frame, Wilson Harris and others - provide a dynamic focus on the reality at stake beneath the surface representations of 'magical realism' in post-colonial literatures

    Preliminary Material /Leyla Routhi -- Introduction: The Medieval Go-Between: A Problem for Comparative Literature /Leyla Routhi -- Chapter One: The Go-Between in Classical Latin Texts /Leyla Routhi -- Chapter Two: The Medieval European Go-Between /Leyla Routhi -- Chapter Three: The Medieval Near-Eastern Go-Between /Leyla Routhi -- Chapter Four: The Medieval Spanish Alcahueta /Leyla Routhi -- Conclusion: Towards a Theory of Seduction /Leyla Routhi -- Bibliography /Leyla Routhi -- Index /Leyla Routhi. This study offers a typology of the go-between across key texts from antiquity and several medieval literary traditions, analyzing the role of the third party in the poetics of love. The work provides the indispensable context for the study of the significant transformations undergone by the go-between. Legal and scientific sources are taken into account alongside Latin, French, and English literary works and literature of the medieval Islamic period for the critique of differences and intertextual links which inform the conception of the go-between. The case of the Medieval Spanish go-between is given a special attention due to the figure's complex relationship with diverse traditions. The range covered in the work provides a comprehensive view of the figure's trajectory and representation in each text

    Preliminary Material -- Einleitung -- J.F. Gronovius uno die Wiederentdeckung des ‘Etruscus’ -- Text und Übersetzung -- Kommentar -- Zur Kolometrie der Anapästischen Chorlieder -- Register -- Supplements to Mnemosyne /J. M. Bremer , L. F. Janssen , H. Pinkster , H. W. Pleket , C. J. Ruijgh and P. H. Schrijvers. This is most comprehensive study of Seneca's Hercules Furens to date and indeed of any Roman tragedy. Apart from illustrating the poetic language, the literary conventions and the dramatic technique of the play, the book highlights the figure of the Roman Hercules in relation to its Greek model, the Euripidean Herakles. The comprehensive introduction on myth, modern interpretations and textual transmission of the play is followed by a discussion of the newly discovered collation of the codex Etruscus by J.F. Gronovius. The detailed commentary is provided with a new critical edition and a new German translation. The work includes a full bibliography, an analytical index and a complete index of passages cited. Special attention is given to literary motifs and topoi as well as to Seneca's poetic language in its pivotal position between the Augustan poets and Neronian-Flavian epic

Anne Mackay -- Bibliography /E. Anne Mackay -- Index Locorum /E. Anne Mackay -- General Index /E. Anne Mackay -- Supplements to Mnemosyne. The essays in this volume present new insights into the far-reaching influence of an early oral culture on subsequent development after the spread of literacy. At the outset, revisionist essays on the Homeric epics examine such questions as historical memory, Homer's audience(s), descriptive strategies, ring-composition, and the status of orality as a constitutive feature of the epics. These are followed by virtually unprecedented studies of the orality of later (written) literature, including Greek oratory, Virgilian epic, Pliny's Panegyricus and story-telling in late Greek writers. Included as well are two discussions of Athenian vase-painting: annular scene-composition in the black-figure tradition, and the implications of kalos -inscriptions. An introduction by leading oral theorist John Miles Foley situates all the essays at the leading edge of oral theoretical development

M. Bremer , L. F. Janssen , H. Pinkster , H. W. Pleket , C. J. Ruijgh and P. H. Schrijvers. A study of three epinicia of Pindar, which have in common that they celebrate victories of Aeginetan athletes and that they respond to the contemporary political situation in Aegina and to circumstances of the victory. The primary objective of this book is to provide an interpretation of each of the three odes as meaningful, coherent works of the literary art. For each ode, it provides a commentary in which problems of text and interpretation are discussed in detail, a structural and metrical analysis, and an interpretative essay, in which the observations of detail are brought together in order to provide an answer to the question as to how the ode at hand could have functioned as a coherent, meaningful epinicion . The introduction addresses questions of method and provides a description of Pindar's style

Bremer , L.F. Janssen , H. Pinkster , H.W. Pleket , C.J. Ruijgh and P.H. Schrijvers. Spanning from Sumer to the present day few literary genres show greater continuity throughout their history than the fable. Historical evidence reaching as far back as Antiquity, supports the study of more than 500 works considered to be fables. This translation of the original Spanish, standard work on the fable, traces the history of the Graeco-Latin fable, investigates its origins, reconstructs lost collections from the Hellenistic Age, and establishes relationships between the fablist of the Imperial Age and the study of Medieval, Greek and Latin fables. Supplements at the end of each chapter have been added, giving information on a new bibliography and some new data, together with references to subsequent studies

FABLES) -- NEW FABLES: (S. (ADR./V.D.)) -- ERRATA IN VOLS. I AND II -- COMPARATIO NUMERORUM -- CONSPECTUS LINGUARUM -- INDEX FABULARUM -- INDEX LOCORUM. This third volume of the History of the Graeco-Latin Fable offers a complete inventory and documentation of the Classical fable tradition in Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The original Spanish edition (1987) has been considerably enlarged with numerous supplementary references and less than 350 new fables. The present edition uniquely refers to fables in more than 20 different languages, not only in Greek and Latin, but also in other Oriental and Western languages such as Sumerian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Sanskrit, Egyptian, Syriac, Arabic, Hebrew, Turkish, Armenian, Circassian, Slavonian, Albanian, Spanish, Italian, English, French, German, and Dutch, thus paving the way for studies of comparative literature. The book is conveniently concluded with elaborate indexes of fable characters, passages included, and numeration systems of other contributions in the field
