Book Synopsis Mary Butts and British Neo-Romanticism by : Andrew Radford
Download or read book Mary Butts and British Neo-Romanticism written by Andrew Radford and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary Butts was an important figure in inter-war modernist circles and one who reviewed and associated with some of the major literary figures of the era, from T.S. Eliot to Gertrude Stein. Despite her importance and the varied nature of her writing, she has been a neglected figure in modernist scholarship. Providing a new analysis of the interwar literary period, Mary Butts and British Neo-Romanticism revisits her work - vividly experimental writings spanning memoir, poetry, polemic and fiction - through the lens of mid-20th-century British neo-Romanticism. The book argues that behind Butts's eco-feminist writings lies an intricate political and philosophical commentary.

Book Synopsis Remaking the Classics by : Christopher Stray
Download or read book Remaking the Classics written by Christopher Stray and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important collection of essays both contributes to the expanding field of classical reception studies and seeks to extend it. Focusing on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Britain, it looks at a range of different genres (epic, novel, lyric, tragedy, political pamphlet). Within the published texts considered, the usual range of genres dealt with elsewhere is extended by chapters on books for children, and those in which childhood and memories of childhood are informed by antiquity; and also by a multi-genre case study of a highly unusual subject, Spartacus. "Remaking the Classics" also goes beyond books to dramatic performance, and beyond the theatre to radio - a medium of enormous power and influence from the 1920s to the 1960s, whose role in the reception of classics is largely unexplored. The variety of genres and of media considered in the book is balanced both by the focus on Britain in a specific time period, and by an overlap of subject-matter between chapters: the three chapters on twentieth-century drama, for example, range from performance strategies to post-colonial contexts.The book thus combines the consolidation of a field with an attempt to push it in new and exciting directions.

Book Synopsis Durée as Einstein-in-the-Heart by : Candice Lee Kent
Download or read book Durée as Einstein-in-the-Heart written by Candice Lee Kent and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durée as Einstein-in-the-Heart traces the trajectory of modernist interaction with Bergson and Einstein through the works of Virginia Woolf (1882–1941) and Mary Butts (1890–1937). It presents an overview of critical approaches that focus on time in Woolf’s novels, and that foreground Bergson in their analyses of Woolf. It then examines how Woolf’s formal experimentation, and theorisation of time, in Jacob’s Room (1922) and Mrs Dalloway (1925) relates to Bergson’s temporal theories. This is followed by a discussion on the role Bergson’s thinking played in the early formulation of Butts’s ideas of time, and an analysis of how Bergson’s ideas emerge in the short story ‘Angele au Couvent’ (1923), concluding by highlighting points of contrast in the engagements of Woolf and Butts. The book then documents the growth of Butts’s interest in Einstein’s ideas and shows how she amalgamates these with Bergson’s thinking in her journals and in the most intense of her fictional engagement with Einstein’s ideas, the novel Death of Felicity Taverner (1932). It discusses Butts’s responses to the popular science genre and examines the important role played by J. W. N. Sullivan and Arthur Eddington in the development of her understanding, and interpretation, of physics. It concludes with a discussion of Butts’s antisemitic characterisation of Kralin, as purveyor of corrupted science, in contrast with the Taverners, who are conscious of durée and delight in the abstractions of scientific truth.

Book Synopsis The Collected Essays of Mary Butts by : Mary Butts
Download or read book The Collected Essays of Mary Butts written by Mary Butts and published by Recovered Classics. This book was released on 2021-09-28 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirteen essays and 117 literary reviews gathered in this book were written largely between 1932 and 1937, the most productive period of Mary Butts's foreshortened literary career---she died at 47. After spending most of the 'twenties on the Continent, principally Paris, with the madding American and English survivors of the soi-disant "Lost Generation," she repatriated to London before settling with a new husband permanently in Sennen, a Cornish village close to Land's End. Famously impractical about money, she must have welcomed the editor Hugh Ross Williamson's invitation to review for The Bookman as a means to supplement her small allowance and book royalties. Considering her charming and personal reviews, this work must have given her satisfaction; it is surely not hackwork. Within a short time she was engaged to write reviews and essays for other prominent journals and newspapers, including The Sunday Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator, The Manchester Guardian, The London Mercury, Time and Tide, John O'London Weekly, The Adelphi, Everyman, and even Crime-which she accomplished while somehow maintaining a steady production of stories, novels, and a memoir of her childhood, and all of this despite marital strife, financial pressures, and worsening health. For the shorter pieces, as a reviewer for hire, it's doubtful she had much choice of books, but her keenest interests and expertise-as well as friendships with contemporary authors-were probably known to her editors, who commissioned accordingly. The range, variety, and depth of subjects is little short of remarkable, from classical literature to popular fiction (historicals, mysteries, the uncanny), from history (French and English) to Eastern religion to the American Depression to gardening, and on and on. Moreover, "reviews" is a misnomer for most of Butts's shorter pieces because her approach is conversational and opinionated, and sprinkled with interesting asides. Better to think of them as miniature essays. Her erudition can be formidable, her thought associations eclectic, her tone scholarly, elegant, jazzy or passionate. However, her longer essays-concerning Aldous Huxley, Baron Corvo, and supernatural fiction, for example-are more like English gardens: structured and carefully tended, but allowing for spaces of intellectual play.
