Book Synopsis Discovering the Many Worlds of Literature by : Stuart Hirschberg
Download or read book Discovering the Many Worlds of Literature written by Stuart Hirschberg and published by Longman Publishing Group. This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovering the Many Worlds of Literature is a new literature for composition text organized by theme, with readings from four genres (essays, short fiction, poems, and dramatic works) from around the world. "The range, quality, and freshness of this text's readings astonish me..This text has the finest range of readings..that I have seen in 25 years of teaching" Dr. Will Tomory, Southwestern Michigan College. Two introductory chapters on reading and writing about literature lead into seven chapters on the theme of human development, from family and cultural ties through considerations of class, race, and ethnicity, to the spiritual dimension of human life. Each thematic chapter is preceded by a brief introduction to the theme, and each chapter concludes with "Connections," questions that help students to see connections between different works in different genres, and "Filmography," an annotated list of suggested films. Each reading is followed by a set of questions to help students analyze the text, understand the author's techniques, and develop an interpretation of the work. The text emphasizes the development of an effective argument for an interpretation of a literary work, both in the introductory chapters and in "Arguing for an Interpretation" questions at the end of each reading. The extraordinary breadth of the reading selections, and the diversity of the authors represented in the text, are unique; students will find some classic works, such as Shakespeare's "Hamlet," along with many less well known writings from authors around the globe, representing Eastern as well as Western cultures. Students will be challenged to understand the cultural context of the readings, and stimulated to provide meaningful analysis and interpretation of the texts.

Book Synopsis Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature by : Alison Donnell
Download or read book Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature written by Alison Donnell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-05-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bold study traces the processes by which a ‘history’ and canon of Caribbean literature and criticism have been constructed. It offers a supplement to that history by presenting new writers, texts and critical moments that help to reconfigure the Caribbean tradition. Focusing on Anglophone or Anglocreole writings from across the twentieth century, Alison Donnell asks what it is that we read when we approach ‘Caribbean Literature’, how it is that we read it and what critical, ideological and historical pressures may have influenced our choices and approaches. In particular, the book: * addresses the exclusions that have resulted from the construction of a Caribbean canon * rethinks the dominant paradigms of Caribbean literary criticism, which have brought issues of anti-colonialism and nationalism, migration and diaspora, ‘double-colonised’ women, and the marginalization of sexuality and homosexuality to the foreground * seeks to put new issues and writings into critical circulation by exploring lesser-known authors and texts, including Indian Caribbean women’s writings and Caribbean queer writings. Identifying alternative critical approaches and critical moments, Twentieth-Century Caribbean Literature allows us to re-examine the way in which we read not only Caribbean writings, but also the literary history and criticism that surround them.

This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sam Coverly was an entrepreneur and an adventurous traveler. His trading took him to China and England, to Montreal and Washington, DC, and as far west as the Missouri Territory. His detailed descriptions of the people and places he visits will appeal to students of early American history and maritime and cultural historians. Born in 1793, the same year as George Washington began his second term as President of the United States, Sam lived to see national roads and a canal built to the western frontier and steamboats plying rivers and lakes. He saw a ten-fold population increase in his beloved Boston and a doubling of the country’s landmass. His journal and correspondence provide readers with eyewitness accounts of life in a rapidly expanding country at the threshold of industrialization and a transportation revolution.
Book Synopsis Essays on Race and Empire by : Nancy Cunard
Download or read book Essays on Race and Empire written by Nancy Cunard and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2002-08-12 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition assembles the major essays on race and imperialism written by Nancy Cunard in the 1930s and 1940s. As a British expatriate living in France, and as a politically-engaged poet, editor, publisher, and journalist, Nancy Cunard devoted much of her energy to the cause of racial justice. This Broadview edition contextualizes Cunard’s writings on race in terms of the relations among modernism, gender, and empire. It includes a range of contemporaneous documents that place her essays in dialogue with other European writers and with the work of writers of the African diaspora.
Book Synopsis Cultures in Babylon by : Hazel V. Carby
Download or read book Cultures in Babylon written by Hazel V. Carby and published by Verso. This book was released on 1999-08-17 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a decade and a half, since she first appeared in the Birmingham Centre’s collective volume The Empire Strikes Back, Hazel Carby has been on the frontline of the debate over multicultural education in Britain and the US. This book brings together her most important and influential essays, ranging over such topics as the necessity for racially diverse school curricula, the construction of literary canons, Zora Neale Hurston’s portraits of “the Folk,” C.L.R. James and Trinidadian nationalism and black women blues artists, and the necessity for racially diverse school curricula. Carby’s analyses of diverse aspects of contemporary culture are invariably sharp and provocative, her political insights shrewd and often against the grain. A powerful intervention, Culture in Babylon will become a standard reference point in future debates over race, ethnicity and gender.
Download or read book Writing in Limbo written by Simon Gikandi and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Simon Gikandi’s view, Caribbean literature and postcolonial literature more generally negotiate an uneasy relationship with the concepts of modernism and modernity—a relationship in which the Caribbean writer, unable to escape a history encoded by Europe, accepts the challenge of rewriting it. Drawing on contemporary deconstructionist theory, Gikandi looks at how such Caribbean writers as George Lamming, Samuel Selvon, Alejo Carpentier, C. L. R. James, Paule Marshall, Merle Hodge, Zee Edgell, and Michelle Cliff have attempted to confront European modernism.
Book Synopsis Literature and Geography by : Emmanuelle Peraldo
Download or read book Literature and Geography written by Emmanuelle Peraldo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a period marked by the Spatial Turn, time is not the main category of analysis any longer. Space is. It is now considered as a central metaphor and topos in literature, and literary criticism has seized space as a new tool. Similarly, literature turns out to be an ideal field for geography. This book examines the cross-fertilization of geography and literature as disciplines, languages and methodologies. In the past two decades, several methods of analysis focusing on the relationship and interconnectedness between literature and geography have flourished. Literary cartography, literary geography and geocriticism (Westphal, 2007, and Tally, 2011) have their specificities, but they all agree upon the omnipresence of space, place and mapping at the core of analysis. Other approaches like ecocriticism (Buell, 2001, and Garrard, 2004), geopoetics (White, 1994), geography of literature (Moretti, 2000), studies of the inserted map (Ljunberg, 2012, and Pristnall and Cooper, 2011) and narrative cartography have likewise drawn attention to space. Literature and Geography: The Writing of Space Throughout History, following an international conference in Lyon bringing together literary academics, geographers, cartographers and architects in order to discuss literature and geography as two practices of space, shows that literature, along with geography, is perfectly valid to account for space. Suggestions are offered here from all disciplines on how to take into account representations and discourses since texts, including literary ones, have become increasingly present in the analysis of geographers.
