|  Property and Power in English Gothic Literature【電子書籍】[ Ruth Bienstock Anolik ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p>Eighteenth-century England witnessed major social and economic changes, including the commodification of property, person and text through legal containments--enclosure, coverture, primogeniture, copyright. English Gothic authors responded with tropes that worked to dispel the assurances of possession--the contested castle, the beleaguered yet enduring woman, the haunting ghost, the disjointed narrative--warning that seemingly mundane codes of ownership have menacing implications, such as the civil death of women through marriage. This book explores the masterplot of the English Gothic text as a response to the Enlightenment's rational certainty regarding possession of self, property and narrative.</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。 | 3,386円 |

|  Untying Things Together Philosophy, Literature, and a Life in Theory【電子書籍】[ Eric L. Santner ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p><strong><em>Untying Things Together</em> helps to clarify the stakes of the last fifty years of literary and cultural theory by proposing the idea of a sexuality of theory.</strong><br /> In 1905, Freud published his <em>Three Essays on the Theory of Sexuality</em>, the book that established the core psychoanalytic thesis that sexuality is central to formations of the unconscious. With this book, Eric L. Santner inverts Freud's title to take up the <em>sexuality of theory</em>ーor, more exactly, the modes of enjoyment to be found in the kinds of critical thinking that, since the 1960s, have laid claim to that ancient word, "theory." Santner unfolds his argument by tracking his own relationship with this tradition and the ways his intellectual and spiritual development has been informed by it.<br /> <em>Untying Things Together</em> is both an intellectual history of major theoretical paradigms and a call for their reexamination and renewal. Revisiting many of the topics he has addressed in previous work, Santner proposes a new way of conceptualizing the <em>eros</em> of thinking, attuned to how our minds and bodies individually and collectively incorporate or "encyst" on a void at the heart of things. Rather than proposing a "return to theory," Santner's book simply employs theory as a way of further "(un)tying together" the resources of philosophy, art and literature, theology, psychoanalysis, political thought, and more.</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。 | 2,479円 |  
|  Eugenics, Literature, and Culture in Post-war Britain【電子書籍】[ Clare Hanson ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p>This book explores eugenics in its wider social context and in literary representations in post-war Britain. Drawing on a wide range of sources in medicine, social and educational policy, genetics, popular science, science fiction, and literary texts, Hanson tracks the dynamic interactions between eugenic ideas across diverse cultural fields, demonstrating the strength of the eugenic imagination. Challenging assumptions that eugenics was fatally compromised by its association with Nazi atrocities, or that it petered out in the context of changed social attitudes in an egalitarian post-war society, the book demonstrates that eugenic thought not only persisted after 1945, but became more prominent. Throughout, eugenics is defined as a cultural movement, rather than more narrowly as a science, and the study is focused on its border-crossing capacity as a ‘style of thought.’ By tracing the expression of eugenic ideas across disciplinary boundaries and in both high and low culture, this book demonstrates the powerful and pervasive influence of eugenics in the post-war years. Authors visited include Raymond Williams, John Braine, Agatha Christie, Muriel Spark, Anthony Burgess, Doris Lessing, and J.G. Ballard.</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。 | 10,255円 |  
|  Civic Myths A Law-and-Literature Approach to Citizenship【電子書籍】[ Brook Thomas ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p>As questions of citizenship generate new debates for this generation of Americans, Brook Thomas argues for revitalizing the role of literature in civic education. Thomas defines civic myths as compelling stories about national origin, membership, and values that are generated by conflicts within the concept of citizenship itself. Selected works of literature, he claims, work <em>on</em> these myths by challenging their terms at the same time that they work <em>with</em> them by relying on the power of narrative to produce compelling new stories.</p> <p><em>Civic Myths</em> consists of four case studies: Nathaniel Hawthorne’s <em>The Scarlet Letter</em> and “the good citizen”; Edward Everett Hale’s “The Man without a Country” and “the patriotic citizen”; Mark Twain’s <em>Adventures of Huckleberry Finn</em> and “the independent citizen”; and Maxine Hong Kingston’s <em>China Men</em> and “the immigrant citizen.” Thomas also provides analysis of the civic mythology surrounding Abraham Lincoln and the case of <em>Ex parte Milligan</em>. Engaging current debates about civil society, civil liberties, civil rights, and immigration, Thomas draws on the complexities of law and literature to probe the complexities of U.S. citizenship.</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。 | 3,597円 |

|  The World Broke in Two Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, E.M. Forster, and the Year That Changed Literature【電子書籍】[ Bill Goldstein ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p><strong>A revelatory narrative of the intersecting lives and works of four revered authors during 1922, the birth year of modernism.</strong></p> <p><strong>A Lambda Literary Awards Finalist</strong></p> <p><strong>Named a Best Book by NPR's Book Concierge</strong></p> <p><em>The World Broke in Two</em> tells the fascinating story of the intellectual and personal journeys four legendary writersーVirginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrenceーmake over the course of one pivotal year. As 1922 begins, all four are literally at a loss for words, confronting an uncertain creative future despite success in the past. The literary ground is shifting, as <em>Ulysses</em> is published in February and Proust's <em>In Search of Lost Time</em> begins to be published in England in the autumn. Yet, dismal as their prospects seemed in January, by the end of the year Woolf has started <em>Mrs. Dalloway</em>, Forster has, for the first time in nearly a decade, returned to work on the novel that will become <em>A Passage to India</em>, Lawrence has written <em>Kangaroo</em>, his unjustly neglected and most autobiographical novel, and Eliot has finishedーand published to acclaimー"The Waste Land."</p> <p>As Willa Cather put it, "The world broke in two in 1922 or thereabouts," and what these writers were struggling with that year was in fact the invention of modernism. Based on original research, Bill Goldstein's <em>The World Broke in Two</em> captures both the literary breakthroughs and the intense personal dramas of these beloved writers as they strive for greatness.</p> <p><strong>"Entertaining. . . . Goldstein shines a welcome spotlight back onto an age when literary giants walked the earth." ー</strong> <em><strong>San Francisco Chronicle</strong></em></p> <p><strong>"Superbly researched . . . a beautiful mosaic . . .

|  The Trouble with Literature【電子書籍】[ Victoria Kahn ]
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p>This book, based on the Clarendon Lectures in English for 2017, argues that the literature of the English Reformation marks a turning point in Western thinking about literature and literariness. But instead of arguing that the Reformation fostered English literature, as scholars have often done, Victoria Kahn claims that literature helped undo the Reformation, with implications for both poetry and belief. Ultimately, literature in the Reformation is one vehicle by which religious belief was itself transformed into a human artifact, whether we understand this as a poetic artifact or a mental fiction. This transformation in turn helped produce the eighteenth-century discipline of aesthetics, with its emphasis on our experience of non-cognitive pleasure in the work of art, and the modern formalist definition of literature, according to which--in the words of one critic--'literature solves no problems and saves no souls.' This modern definition of literature, in short, has a history, this history is intertwined with the problem of belief, and by returning to the fraught years of the late sixteenth and seventeenth century in England, we can come to a new understanding of how the trouble with literature has shaped our discipline. The first lecture contrasts modern and early modern understandings of literature and literariness. The second and third lectures focus on Thomas Hobbes and John Milton. The fourth lecture treats the work of Immanuel Kant, S?ren Kierkegaard, and J.M. Coetzee.</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。 | 1,909円 |  
|  Mother Reader Essential Literature on Motherhood【電子書籍】
 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
 | <p>The intersection of motherhood and creative life is explored in these writings on mothering that turn the spotlight from the child to the mother herself. Here, in memoirs, testimonials, diaries, essays, and fiction, mothers describe first-hand the changes brought to their lives by pregnancy, childbirth, and mothering.<br /> Many of the writers articulate difficult and socially unsanctioned maternal anger and ambivalence. In Mother Reader, motherhood is scrutinized for all its painful and illuminating subtleties, and addressed with unconventional wisdom and candor. What emerges is a sense of a community of writers speaking to and about each other out of a common experience, and a compilation of extraordinary literature never before assembled in a single volume.</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。 | 2,468円 |
