Download or read book Mr. Wakefield's Crusade written by Bernice Rubens and published by Little Brown GBR. This book was released on 1992-03-01 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "My name is Luke Wakefiled and I am a failure... My ability to miss out, to fall short, to come to gried, amounts to a talent... Even my failure is a failure. My life has lurched from one catastrophe to another." Until one day a different kind of catastrophe occurs: the man in front of him in the post office queue suddenly drops down dead. Instinctively, Mr Wakefield's hand snakes out and slips the corpse's unposted letter into his pocket. With one impulsive act he launches his crusade, ostensibly a search for Truth and Justice- and the identity of the mysterious 'Marion'- but eventually an irresistable adventure which takes him through a labyrinth of risks, clues and blind alleys to lead him triumphantly- if a little haphazardly- to hilarious success.

Download or read book Unlocking the English Language written by R. W. Burchfield and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1992-12 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we grapple with an English language adapting and expanding faster than ever, Robert Burchfield offers a sane, humanistic, and historically illuminating account of how words enter our official vocabulary. In this lively collection of essays, he shows us that dictionaries, far from being static, are hotly contested social documents resulting from the interaction of the language, the lexicographer, and his times. Drawing on the author's thirty years' experience as the editor of the Supplement to the Oxford English Dictionary, this book gives us a firsthand account of the sorts of decisions lexicographers have confronted since Samuel Johnson's great dictionary (such as the uses of literary authority, the inclusion of "ethnic" vocabulary, the establishment of standard usage), as well as more contemporary issues, including the implications of compiling dictionaries in the computer age. There is also a wealth of insights into the history of our language, its rich past, and its potential future.--From publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did social, cultural and political events in Britain during the 1980s shape contemporary British fiction? Setting the fiction squarely within the context of Conservative politics and questions about culture and national identity, this volume reveals how the decade associated with Thatcherism frames the work of Kazuo Ishiguro, Martin Amis, and Graham Swift, of Scottish novelists and new diasporic writers. How and why 1980s fiction is a response to particular psychological, social and economic pressures is explored in detail. Drawing on the rise of individualism and the birth of neo-liberalism, contributors reflect on the tense relations between 1980s politics and realism, and between elegy and satire. Noting the creation of a 'heritage industry' during the decade, the rise of the historical novel is also considered against broader cultural changes. Viewed from the perspective of more recent theorisations of crisis following both 9/11 and the 21st-century financial crash, this study makes sense of why and how writers of the 1980s constructed fictions in response to this decade's own set of fundamental crises.
