Download or read book Food and Culture in the Works of Ford Madox Ford, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf written by Nanette OʼBrien and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing about food has long been a part of autobiographical expression that combines culinary record-keeping and histories, drawing on the personal and the cultural. Concentrating on the transatlantic work of Ford Madox Ford, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf, this book illuminates modernist uses of the terms 'civilization' and 'barbarism', showing how these concepts are shaped by the rules of preparing and eating food in literature and in public. Nanette OʼBrien introduces the concept of 'culinary Impressionism' as an extension and repositioning of current scholarly thinking about Ford's literary Impressionism and his synesthetic writing about cookery and small farming. She also presents a new reading of Stein's crafting of her modernist authority as interlinked with her cooks, and shows Stein's and Toklas's jointly authored unpublished cookbook draft as evidence of their direct authorial collaboration and of Stein adapting domestic culinary techniques into her other writing. OʼBrien goes on to present new archival research demonstrating that Virginia Woolf's representation of the financial and culinary difference between men's and women's dining in colleges at the University of Cambridge is justified and the material inequality was in fact worse than previously understood. This disparity in institutional food intensifies Woolf's later reimagining of the term 'civilization'. While drawing on themes of modernism and life-writing, the everyday, domestic life and gender, the book argues that food is a vehicle for positive modernist re-conceptions of civilization.

Book Synopsis Twentieth-century Culture by : Norman F. Cantor
Download or read book Twentieth-century Culture written by Norman F. Cantor and published by New York : P. Lang. This book was released on 1988 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On pp. 283-290, examines modern antisemitism as a component of Western culture, caused by the great Jewish emigration westward after 1880 which aroused racist and Social Darwinist prejudices, economic jealousy, and psychological fears. Politicians capitalized on antisemitic stereotypes, holding Jews responsible for all ills. Pp. 127-129, "Jews and Modernism, " discuss the significant role of Jews in the modernist movement. Traditionalists, Catholics, and nationalists denounced modernism as a Jewish danger. Paradoxically, English modernists and German expressionists were fierce antisemites, seeing traditionalist and religious Jews as the archetype of the 19th century society they opposed.
Book Synopsis The Modernist Party by : Kate McLoughlin
Download or read book The Modernist Party written by Kate McLoughlin and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading international scholars illuminate the party's significance in Modernism In 12 chapters internationally distinguished scholars explore the party both as a literary device and as a forum for developing modernist creative values, opening up new perspectives on materiality, the everyday and concepts of space, place and time. There are chapters on Conrad and domestic parties, T S Eliot's 'Prufrock', the party vector in Joyce's 'The Dead' and Finnegans Wake, Katherine Mansfield's party stories, Virginia Woolf's idea of a party, the textual parties of Proust, Ford Madox Ford and Aldous Huxley and the real-life parties of Sylvia Beach, Adrienne Monnier, Natalie Barney and Gertrude Stein, the black 'after-party' of the Harlem Renaissance and the parties in extremis in D H Lawrence's Women in Love. Like guests at a party, the chapters talk to and argue with each other. They contribute different approaches: formal, historical, thematic, biographical and theoretical. They address gender and sexuality, race, genre, class, sociality and privacy. And they establish critical viewpoints. The party is shown to be the site both of introspection and self-display. It provokes competition, collaboration and violence. It is an occasion of nihilism as well as a model for creative production. Key Features: Develops the concept of space, currently of central concern to Modernist scholars Explores the tensions between Modernism as an aesthetics of intensity and Modernism as a movement of the everyday Adds a new and vital area of research to investigations of Modernism as the product of intellectual and social networks

Book Synopsis Mrs. Woolf and the Servants by : Alison Light
Download or read book Mrs. Woolf and the Servants written by Alison Light and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-15 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Virginia Woolf wrote A Room of One's Own in 1929, she established her reputation as a feminist, and an advocate for unheard voices. But like thousands of other upper-class British women, Woolf relied on live-in domestic servants for the most intimate of daily tasks. That room of Woolf's own was kept clean by a series of cooks and maids throughout her life. In the much-praised Mrs. Woolf and the Servants, Alison Light probes the unspoken inequality of Bloomsbury homes with insight and grace, and provides an entirely new perspective on an essential modern artist.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge History of Modernism by : Vincent Sherry
Download or read book The Cambridge History of Modernism written by Vincent Sherry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 1579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Cambridge History of Modernism is the first comprehensive history of modernism in the distinguished Cambridge Histories series. It identifies a distinctive temperament of 'modernism' within the 'modern' period, establishing the circumstances of modernized life as the ground and warrant for an art that becomes 'modernist' by virtue of its demonstrably self-conscious involvement in this modern condition. Following this sensibility from the end of the nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, tracking its manifestations across pan-European and transatlantic locations, the forty-three chapters offer a remarkable combination of breadth and focus. Prominent scholars of modernism provide analytical narratives of its literature, music, visual arts, architecture, philosophy, and science, offering circumstantial accounts of its diverse personnel in their many settings. These historically informed readings offer definitive accounts of the major work of twentieth-century cultural history and provide a new cornerstone for the study of modernism in the current century.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to ‘Robinson Crusoe' by : John Richetti
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to ‘Robinson Crusoe' written by John Richetti and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-26 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant success in its own time, Daniel Defoe's The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe has for three centuries drawn readers to its archetypal hero, the man surviving alone on an island. This Companion begins by studying the eighteenth-century literary, historical and cultural contexts of Defoe's novel, exploring the reasons for its immense popularity in Britain and in its colonies in America and in the wider European world. Chapters from leading scholars discuss the social, economic and political dimensions of Crusoe's island story before examining the 'after life' of Robinson Crusoe, from the book's multitudinous translations to its cultural migrations and transformations into other media such as film and television. By considering Defoe's seminal work from a variety of critical perspectives, this book provides a full understanding of the perennial fascination with, and the enduring legacy of, both the book and its iconic hero.
Book Synopsis The Cultural Cold War by : Frances Stonor Saunders
Download or read book The Cultural Cold War written by Frances Stonor Saunders and published by New Press, The. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 458 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Cold War, freedom of expression was vaunted as liberal democracy’s most cherished possession—but such freedom was put in service of a hidden agenda. In The Cultural Cold War, Frances Stonor Saunders reveals the extraordinary efforts of a secret campaign in which some of the most vocal exponents of intellectual freedom in the West were working for or subsidized by the CIA—whether they knew it or not. Called "the most comprehensive account yet of the [CIA’s] activities between 1947 and 1967" by the New York Times, the book presents shocking evidence of the CIA’s undercover program of cultural interventions in Western Europe and at home, drawing together declassified documents and exclusive interviews to expose the CIA’s astonishing campaign to deploy the likes of Hannah Arendt, Isaiah Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, Robert Lowell, George Orwell, and Jackson Pollock as weapons in the Cold War. Translated into ten languages, this classic work—now with a new preface by the author—is "a real contribution to popular understanding of the postwar period" (The Wall Street Journal), and its story of covert cultural efforts to win hearts and minds continues to be relevant today.
