Book Synopsis Our Mutual Friend (Annotated) by : Charles Dickens
Download or read book Our Mutual Friend (Annotated) written by Charles Dickens and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-03 with total page 634 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Our common friend (in original English, Our Mutual Friend) is the latest complete novel by the English writer Charles Dickens, published in installments between 1864 and 1865. In many ways, it is one of his most sophisticated and complex works, combining a great depth Psychological with a rich social analysis. At first glance, it seems to focus, in the words of critic J. Hillis Miller, on money, money, money, and what money can make of life (which is a quote from the novel itself, from Bella, at the end of Book III, chapter IV), but a deeper analysis shows that, above all, it focuses on human values and their application in Victorian society. For many critics and writers such as Italo Calvino, the novel is an absolute masterpiece, in which Dickens, pessimistic and already mature, demonstrates the full force of his prose and inventiveness in an authentic exercise of literary virtuosity.In the initial chapter, a young man goes to London to receive the paternal inheritance, which, according to his father's will, can only receive it if he marries Bella Wilfer, a beautiful young woman but whom he has never met . However, before arriving, a corpse is discovered floating on the River Thames, and the police identify him as his own, so that he is considered dead. The inheritance then passes to Boffins, his father's uneducated worker - he cannot read - and the effects of this extend to all extremes of London society.John Harmon - heir to the Harmon family property, but on the condition that he marry Bella Wilfer, allegedly killed during most of the novel, in fact lives under the name of John Rokesmith and works as a secretary for the Boffin, in order to know better the reaction of Bella, the Boffin and the people in general to his "death." He also used the name of Julius Handford, on his first return to London.
Book Synopsis The Selected Letters of Elizabeth Stoddard by : Jennifer Putzi
Download or read book The Selected Letters of Elizabeth Stoddard written by Jennifer Putzi and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to the resurgence of interest in American novelist, poet, short-story writer, and newspaper correspondent Elizabeth Stoddard (1823–1902), whose best-known work is The Morgesons (1862), Jennifer Putzi and Elizabeth Stockton spent years locating, reading, and sorting through more than 700 letters scattered across eighteen different archives, finally choosing eighty-four letters to annotate and include in this collection. By presenting complete, annotated transcripts, The Selected Letters provides a fascinating introduction to this compelling writer, while at the same time complicating earlier representations of her as either a literary handmaiden to her at-the-time more famous husband, the poet Richard Henry Stoddard, or worse, as the “Pythoness” whose difficult personality made her a fickle and unreasonable friend. The Stoddards belonged to New York's vibrant, close-knit literary and artistic circles. Among their correspondents were both family members and friends including writers and editors such as Julia Caroline Ripley Dorr, Rufus Griswold, James Russell Lowell, Caroline Healey Dall, Julian Hawthorne, William Dean Howells, Helen Hunt Jackson, Edmund Clarence Stedman, and Margaret Sweat. An innovative and unique writer, Stoddard eschewed the popular sentimentality of her time even while exploring the emotional territory of relations between the sexes. Her writing—in both her published fiction and her personal letters—is surprisingly modern and psychologically dense. The letters are highly readable, lively, and revealing, even to readers who know little of her literary output or her life. As scholars of epistolarity have recently argued, letters provide more than just a biographical narrative; they also should be understood as aesthetic performances themselves. The correspondence provides a sense of Stoddard as someone who understood letter writing as a distinct and important literary genre, making this collection particularly well suited for new conceptualizations of the epistolary genre.

Download or read book Byron written by Jane Stabler and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often seen as the exception to generalisations about Romanticism, Byron's poetry - and its intricate relationship with a brilliant, scandalous life - has remained a source of controversy throughout the twentieth century. This book brings together recent work on Byron by leading British and American scholars and critics, guiding undergraduate students and sixth-form pupils through the different ways in which new literary theory has enriched readings of Byron's work, and showing how his poetry offers a rewarding focus for questions about the relationship between historical contexts and literary form in the Romantic period. Diverse and fresh perspectives on canonical texts such as Don Juan, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Manfred are included together with stimulating analyses of less well-known narrative poems, lyrics and dramas. A clearly structured introduction traces key developments in Byron criticism and locates the essays within wider debates in Romantic studies. Detailed headnotes to each essay and a guide to further reading help to orientate the reader and offer pointers for further discussion. The collection will enable students of English literature, Romantic studies and nineteenth-century cultural studies to assess the contribution that different critical methodologies have made to our understanding of individual poems by Byron, as well as concepts like the Byronic hero and evolving definitions of Romanticism.

Book Synopsis Reading the Old Man by : Bruce A. Ronda
Download or read book Reading the Old Man written by Bruce A. Ronda and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this absorbing book, Bruce Ronda examines the representations of Brown chronologically, ranging from Thoreau's "Plea for Captain John Brown" - with its ardent defense of Brown as a patriot, Transcendentalist, and true New Englander - through treatments by anonymous southern writers and well-known authors such as John Greenleaf Whittier, Herman Melville, Richard Henry Dana, Frederick Douglass, William Dean Howells, and E. A. Robinson. Ronda then considers the major treatments of Brown in the early to mid-twentieth century by W. E. B. DuBois, Stephen Vincent Benet, and Robert Penn Warren. Of particular interest are discussions of a 1930s poem by Muriel Rukeyser, Truman Nelson's 1960 novel The Surveyor, and artwork by Jacob Lawrence. He concludes with studies of novels by three contemporary authors: Russell Banks, Michelle Cliff, and Bruce Olds."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: When my friend Mr. Howland, of the "Outlook" magazine, asked me if I could write for that magazine a lifetime of James Russell Lowell, I said directly that I couldn't .

I said that the materials for any lifetime of him were within the hands of others, who would probably use them at the right time.

Book excerpt: After crash-landing on a deserted tropical island, a group of private-school teens must rely on their wits and one another to survive. Their survival is in their own hands . . . Samantha Mishra opens her eyes and discovers she’s alone and injured in the thick of a jungle. She has no idea where she is, or what happened to the plane taking her and the rest of the Drake Rosemont fencing team across the Pacific for a tournament. Once Sam connects with her best friend, Mel, and they find the others, they set up shelter and hope for rescue. But as the days pass, the teens realize they're on their own, stranded on an island with a mysterious presence that taunts and threatens them. Soon Sam and her companions discover they need to survive more than the jungle . . . they need to survive each other. This taut novel, with a setting evocative of Lord of the Flies, is by turns cinematic and intimate, and always thought-provoking. Praise for Damselfly “Prasad’s [YA] debut is a compelling modern-day adventure . . . An entertaining choice.” —School Library Journal “Ethics balance on a knife’s edge as the characters make difficult choices and adapt to their new reality . . . A compulsive read.” —Booklist “Who are we when we are only accountable to ourselves? This bold, deft novel exposes how fragile the world we inhabit really is and what it might take for us to survive.” —Neela Vaswani, co-author of Same Sun Here “Prasad breathes fresh life into this fusion of Lost, Prep, Gossip Girl, and William Golding’s classic.” —Jake Halpern, author of Fame Junkies and Dormia
