Book Synopsis Francis Scott Fitzgerald : His Art and Vision by : Ratan Bhattacharjee

This book was released on 2021-05-25 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Scott Fitzgerald’s contribution to American fiction has to be judged keeping in mind that the naturalistic mimesis of the fiction of the earlier period is important as a critique of bourgeois society, but it ultimately fails in representing the problematic nature of bourgeois reality. The use of romance by Fitzgerald within mimetic realism is a logical culmination of the rise of the novel as it is. Through this use of romance he is able to adequately explore the bourgeois myth of man

Book Synopsis Teaching Jewish American Literature by : Roberta Rosenberg
Download or read book Teaching Jewish American Literature written by Roberta Rosenberg and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A multilingual, transnational literary tradition, Jewish American writing has long explored questions of personal identity and national boundaries. These questions can engage students in literature, writing, or religion; at Jewish, Christian, or secular schools; and in or outside the United States. This volume takes an expansive view of Jewish American literature, beginning with writing from the earliest colonies in the Americas and continuing to contemporary Soviet-born authors in the United States, including works that engage deeply with religious concepts and others that embrace assimilation. It invites readers to rethink the nature of American multiculturalism, suggests pairings of Jewish American texts with other ethnic American literatures, and examines the workings of whiteness and privilege. Contributors offer varied perspectives on classic texts such as Yekl, Bread Givers, and "Goodbye, Columbus," along with approaches to interdisciplinary topics including humor, graphic novels, and musical theater. The volume concludes with an extensive resources section.
Book Synopsis Faulkner and the Politics of Reading by : Karl F. Zender
Download or read book Faulkner and the Politics of Reading written by Karl F. Zender and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2023-10-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this study Karl F. Zender offers fresh readings of individual novels, themes, and motifs while also assessing the impact of recent politicized interpretations on our understanding of Faulkner’s achievement. Sympathetically acknowledging the need to decenter the canon, Zender’s searching interrogation of current theory clears a breathing space for Faulkner and his readers between the fustier remnants of New Criticism and the excesses of post-structuralism. Each chapter opens with a balanced presentation of the genuine gifts contemporary theory has bestowed on our comprehension of a particular novel or problem in Faulkner criticism and then proceeds with a groundbreaking reading. “The Politics of Incest” challenges older psychoanalytic interpretations of Faulkner’s use of the incest motif, and “Faulkner’s Privacy” defends the novelist’s difficulty or “reticence” as an aesthetic resistance against the rude candor of deregionalized and depersonalized culture. Subsequent chapters take up the volatile issues of Faulkner’s representations of women and of African Americans, and a close reading of the classic “Barn Burning” critiques the current tendency to blur the concepts of patriarchy and paternity. The elegiac final chapter, “Where is Yoknapatawpha County?” draws on a comparison with John Updike’s Pennsylvania fiction and a reading of Joan Williams’s The Wintering to explore Faulkner’s disinclination to represent the quotidian realities of southern life in his later novels. Zender shows that Faulkner’s stylistic withdrawal attempts to “transform into beauty” his alienation from the postwar world and his fear of aging. That Faulkner and the Politics of Reading itself recovers and gives new luster to Faulkner’s beauty will surely please, in the author’s words, “those readers . . . for whom literature is less a mechanism of social change than a source of pleasure.” The originality of its critical vision will inspire Faulkner scholars, students of American literature, and general readers.
Book Synopsis The Rise and Fall of Jewish American Literature by : Benjamin Schreier
Download or read book The Rise and Fall of Jewish American Literature written by Benjamin Schreier and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2020-10-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Schreier argues that Jewish American literature's dominant cliché of "breakthrough"—that is, the irruption into the heart of the American cultural scene during the 1950s of Jewish American writers like Bernard Malamud, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, and Grace Paley—must also be seen as the critically originary moment of Jewish American literary study. According to Schreier, this is the primal scene of the Jewish American literary field, the point that the field cannot avoid repeating and replaying in instantiating itself as the more or less formalized academic study of Jewish American literature. More than sixty years later, the field's legibility, the very condition of its possibility, remains overwhelmingly grounded in a reliance on this single ethnological narrative. In a polemic against what he sees as the unexamined foundations and stagnant state of the field, Schreier interrogates a series of professionally powerful assumptions about Jewish American literary history—how they came into being and how they hardened into cliché. He offers a critical genealogy of breakthrough and other narratives through which Jewish Studies has asserted its compelling self-evidence, not simply under the banner of the historical realities Jewish Studies claims to represent but more fundamentally for the intellectual and institutional structures through which it produces these representations. He shows how a historicist scholarly narrative quickly consolidated and became hegemonic, in part because of its double articulation of a particular American subject and of a transnational historiography that categorically identified that subject as Jewish. The ethnological grounding of the Jewish American literary field is no longer tenable, Schreier asserts, in an argument with broad implications for the reconceptualization of Jewish and other identity-based ethnic studies.
