Modernism Is the Literature of Celebrity【電子書籍】[ Jonathan Goldman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The phenomenon of celebrity burst upon the world scene about a century ago, as movies and modern media brought exceptional, larger-than-life personalities before the masses. During the same era, modernist authors were creating works that defined high culture in our society and set aesthetics apart from the middle- and low-brow culture in which celebrity supposedly resides. To challenge this ingrained dichotomy between modernism and celebrity, Jonathan Goldman offers a provocative new reading of early twentieth-century culture and the formal experiments that constitute modernist literature's unmistakable legacy. He argues that the literary innovations of the modernists are indeed best understood as a participant in the popular phenomenon of celebrity.</p> <p>Presenting a persuasive argument as well as a chronicle of modernism's and celebrity's shared history, <em>Modernism Is the Literature of Celebrity</em> begins by unraveling the uncanny syncretism between Oscar Wilde's writings and his public life. Goldman explains that Wilde, in shaping his instantly identifiable public image, provided a model for both literary and celebrity cultures in the decades that followed. In subsequent chapters, Goldman traces this lineage through two luminaries of the modernist canon, James Joyce and Gertrude Stein, before turning to the cinema of mega-star Charlie Chaplin. He investigates how celebrity and modernism intertwine in the work of two less obvious modernist subjects, Jean Rhys and John Dos Passos. Turning previous criticism on its head, Goldman demonstrates that the authorial self-fashioning particular to modernism and generated by modernist technique helps create celebrity as we now know it.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Defence of Poesy Enriched edition. Exploring the Renaissance Power of Poetry in English Literature【電子書籍】[ Philip Sidney ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Defence of Poesy," Philip Sidney ardently articulates his profound belief in the value of poetry as a crucial form of creative expression. Written as a response to the criticisms of poetry prevalent in the late 16th century, this treatise engages with issues of morality, aesthetics, and the nature of art, employing a rich tapestry of rhetorical skill and philosophical discourse. Sidney deftly intertwines classical references with personal anecdotes, establishing a poignant argument for the transformative power of poetic imagination. His eloquent prose not only elucidates the role of the poet in society but elevates poetry to a noble pursuit aimed at both moral edification and emotional enrichment. Philip Sidney, an influential Elizabethan poet and courtier, seamlessly blends his literary endeavors with his deep-seated experiences in court politics and humanist scholarship. His own poetic practices shape his thoughts in "The Defence of Poesy," as he defends poetry against its detractors and seeks to reclaim its place in a society increasingly skeptical of art. Sidney's commitment to the pursuit of truth and beauty reflects his broader concerns with moral virtue and human dignity in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. I highly recommend "The Defence of Poesy" to both scholars and casual readers alike, as it not only serves as a powerful manifesto for the art of poetry but also provides an insightful glimpse into the Renaissance humanist thought. Sidney's arguments resonate with contemporary debates about the relevance and significance of literature, making this work a timeless piece that invites reflection and inspires a renewed appreciation for the poetic craft.

But nothing has prepared him for the biting cold and seething crowds of this hostile city. Struggling to find a foothold, and to understand the darkness at the heart of his family, Salim must face devastating truths about himself and those closest to him ? and about love, sex and power.</p> <p>Evoking the immigrant experience with unsentimental precision and profound insight, <em>Gravel Heart</em> is a powerfully affecting story of isolation, identity, belonging and betrayal, and is Abulrazak Gurnah's most dazzling achievement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Hauntology The Presence of the Past in Twenty-First Century English Literature【電子書籍】[ Katy Shaw ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Post-millennial writings function as a useful prism through which we can understand contemporary English culture and its compulsion to revisit the immediate past. The critical practice of hauntology turns to the past in order to make sense of the present, to understand how we got to this place and how to build a better future. Since the Year 2000, popular culture has been inundated with representations of those who occupy a space between being and non-being and defy ontological criteria.</p> <p>This Pivot explores a range of contemporary English literatures - from the poetry of Simon Armitage and the drama of Jez Butterworth, to the fiction of Zadie Smith and the stories of David Peace - that collectively unite to represent a twenty-first century world full of specters, reminiscence and representations of spectral encounters. These specters become visible and significant as they interact with a range of social, political and economic discoursesthat continue to speak to the contemporary period.</p> <p>The enduring fascination with the spectral offers valuable insights into a contemporary English culture in which spectral manifestations signal towards larger social anxieties as well as to specific historical events and recurrent cultural preoccupations. The specter confronts the contemporary with the necessity of participation, encouraging the realisation that we must engage with it in order to create meaning. Narrative agency is the primary motivating force of its return, and the repetition of the specter functions to highlight new meanings and perspectives.</p> <p>Harnessing hauntology as a lens through which to consider the specters haunting twenty-first century English writings, this Pivot examines the emergence of a vein of hauntological literature that profiles the pervasive presence of the past in our new millennium.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Plato and the Traditions of Ancient Literature The Silent Stream【電子書籍】[ Richard Hunter ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Exploring both how Plato engaged with existing literary forms and how later literature then created 'classics' out of some of Plato's richest works, this book includes chapters on such subjects as rewritings of the Apology and re-imaginings of Socrates' defence, Plato's high style and the criticisms it attracted, and how Petronius and Apuleius threaded Plato into their wonderfully comic texts. The scene for these case studies is set through a thorough examination of how the tradition constructed the relationship between Plato and Homer, of how Plato adapted poetic forms of imagery to his philosophical project in the Republic, of shared techniques of representation between poet and philosopher and of foreshadowings of later modes of criticism in his Ion. This is a major contribution to Platonic studies, to the history of Platonic reception from the fourth century BC to the third century AD and to the literature of the Second Sophistic.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Book of Burlesques Enriched edition. A Satirical Look at American Culture: Humorous Essays on Society and Literature【電子書籍】[ H. L. Mencken ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "A Book of Burlesques," H. L. Mencken showcases his unparalleled talent for satirical and humorous prose. This collection assembles parodies and mock-essays that critique various aspects of American life in the early 20th century, illuminating societal norms, human folly, and the absurdities of contemporary culture. Mencken's literary style is characterized by its wit, sharp irony, and a keen ability to dissect his subjects with both laughter and scorn, reminiscent of the great satirists of the past. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly modernizing America, this work serves as both entertainment and thought-provoking commentary, seamlessly blending invective with absurdity to reflect Mencken's views on the American character and its literary landscape. H. L. Mencken, often dubbed the "Sage of Baltimore," was a prominent journalist, essayist, and social critic whose experiences in a rapidly changing America informed much of his work. An astute observer of societal trends and mores, Mencken's disdain for mediocrity and his advocacy for cultural elitism enabled him to wield humor as a tool for incisive critique. His vast knowledge of literature and his interactions with contemporaries like Theodore Dreiser and Sinclair Lewis immersed him in a world ripe for burlesque. For readers seeking a blend of entertainment and sharp social commentary, "A Book of Burlesques" is an essential addition to any library. Mencken's wit and insight not only provide humor but also challenge readers to reflect on the societal norms of their time. This work remains relevant today, offering timeless lessons wrapped in delightfully acerbic prose.

The Other Name ー WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE Septology I-II【電子書籍】[ Jon Fosse ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? The year is coming to a close and Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour, ?sleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bj?rgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelg?ngers ? two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about life, death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. Written in melodious and hypnotic 'slow prose', <em>The Other Name: Septology I-II</em> is an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition by Jon Fosse, 'a major European writer' (Karl Ove Knausgaard), in which everything is always there, and past and present flow together.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
