Download or read book American Literature in Transition, 1920–1930 written by Ichiro Takayoshi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 822 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Literature in Transition, 1920–1930 examines the dynamic interactions between social and literary fields during the so-called Jazz Age. It situates the era's place in the incremental evolution of American literature throughout the twentieth century. Essays from preeminent critics and historians analyze many overlapping aspects of American letters in the 1920s and re-evaluate an astonishingly diverse group of authors. Expansive in scope and daring in its mixture of eclectic methods, this book extends the most exciting advances made in the last several decades in the fields of modernist studies, ethnic literatures, African-American literature, gender studies, transnational studies, and the history of the book. It examines how the world of literature intersected with other arts, such as cinema, jazz, and theater, and explores the print culture in transition, with a focus on new publishing houses, trends in advertising, readership, and obscenity laws.

This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History has not been kind to the 1980s. The decade is often associated with absurd fashion choices, neo-Conservatism in the Reagan/Bush years, the AIDS crisis, Wall Street ethics, and uninspired television, film, and music. Yet the literature of the 1980s is undeniably rich and lasting. American Literature in Transition, 1980–1990 seeks to frame some of the decade's greatest achievements such as Toni Morrison's monumental novel Beloved and to consider some of the trends that began in the 1980s and developed thereafter, including the origins of the graphic novel, prison literature, and the opening of multiculturalism vis-à-vis the 'canon wars'. This volume argues not only for the importance of 1980s American literature, but also for its centrality in understanding trends and trajectories in all contemporary literature against the broader background of culture. This volume serves as both an introduction and a deep consideration of the literary culture of our most maligned decade.

Download or read book Transition Phase of The American Society In An American Society: A Naturalistic Approach written by Guneshwor Ojha and published by Anchor Academic Publishing (aap_verlag). This book was released on 2015-07-30 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his masterpiece An American Tragedy, Theodore Dreiser depicts pains of the American society during transition to modern age. Youths from the lowest social strata sought ways of transforming their lives in job markets spawned by industrialization. However, their ambitions and efforts often ended in a tragedy. Dreiser depicts this through his protagonist, Clyde. Whereas realism portrays incidents of a society in a realistic manner naturalists go further to come up with causes and explanations behind the incident. Relying on psychology, chemism and mechanism, Dreiser portrays how human life is devoid of free will. Though it seems gloomy, Naturalism does offer optimism. Naturalists believe that human beings can overcome beastly nature. They can learn to live by reason. Thus, human beings have the potential to achieve a similar ideal world as envisioned by spiritualism. Naturalistic works imply that its stake holders are responsible for existing social ills/evils. In case of the tragic hero Clyde, it was the social structure that denied him access to education and better opportunities to craft a good life.

Download or read book American Literature in Transition, 1940–1950 written by Christopher Vials and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-12-28 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the aftermath of World War II, the United States emerged as the dominant imperial power, and in US popular memory, the Second World War is remembered more vividly than the American Revolution. American Literature in Transition, 1940–1950 provides crucial contexts for interpreting the literature of this period. Essays from scholars in literature, history, art history, ethnic studies, and American studies show how writers intervened in the global struggles of the decade: the Second World War, the Cold War, and emerging movements over racial justice, gender and sexuality, labor, and de-colonization. One recurrent motif is the centrality of the political impulse in art and culture. Artists and writers participated widely in left and liberal social movements that fundamentally transformed the terms of social life in the twentieth century, not by advocating specific legislation, but by changing underlying cultural values. This book addresses all the political impulses fueling art and literature at the time, as well as the development of new forms and media, from modernism and noir to radio and the paperback.
