The book is divided into two parts: one deals largely with the contexts of literary criticism; the other offers more specific studies of literary works in roughly historical sequence.

Taken together, the essays offer a continuous and coherent argument, making a whole that is entirely equal to the sum of its parts.
Book Synopsis Hidden Designs (Routledge Revivals) by : Jonathan Crewe
Download or read book Hidden Designs (Routledge Revivals) written by Jonathan Crewe and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1986 study offers a challenging contribution to the on-going critical debate surrounding the English literary Renaissance. Although informed by the 'new historicism' and post-structuralism, Hidden Designs makes a plea for criticism to be practiced in its own name rather than in the name of theory, and opposes the hyper-professionalisation of literary studies in favour of the broader communal functions of criticism. Major Renaissance authors and their recent critics are placed under 'suspicion' as Crewe explores the elements of 'criminality' inherent in the powerful interests -personal, institutional, political and cultural - served by the literary enterprise, or channelled through it. Revisionary readings of Sidney, Spenser, Puttenham and Shakespeare are linked by a continuing commentary on the history and theoretical claims of Renaissance criticism.
Book Synopsis The Critical Twilight (Routledge Revivals) by : John Fekete
Download or read book The Critical Twilight (Routledge Revivals) written by John Fekete and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-07 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, this book was the first to map extensively the ideological typography of the Anglo-American tradition of literary theory. It interrogates, comprehensively and in detail, the assumptions and categorical development within critical ideas from I. A. Richards and T. S. Eliot, through John Crowe Ransom and the New Criticism, to Northrop Frye and Marshall NcLuhan. This analysis reveals the Anglo-American tradition of literary-cultural theory is most properly intelligible within the overall field of social consciousness as an ideology of progressive cultural rationalization. Against a background of ideological development since nineteenth-century Romanticism, John Fekete illuminates the boundaries of literary ideology in relation to the shapes and changes of modern culture and society.

Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: William Shakespeare: the Anatomy of an Enigma (1990) by : Peter Razzell
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: William Shakespeare: the Anatomy of an Enigma (1990) written by Peter Razzell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-13 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, the aim of this book is to reveal the William Shakespeare whose life has been obscured by centuries of literary mythology. It unravels a series of strands in order to understand the man and the major influences which shaped his life and writing. The first part advances the thesis that his relationship with his father directly influenced the character of Falstaff -- helping to not only explain key events in his father's life but also critical events in his own biography. This thesis not only illuminates the Falstaff plays but also a number of other works such as Hamlet. The second part focuses on Shakespeare's own life, and includes much original research particularly on the tradition that he was a poacher of deer, discussing the influence this incident had on his later life and writings. In addition, a sociological approach has been used which illuminates a number of key areas, including questioning the view his background was narrow and provincial -- which has often been used to dispute his authorship of plays of such cosmopolitan appeal.

Book Synopsis The Observing Self (Routledge Revivals) by : Graham Good
Download or read book The Observing Self (Routledge Revivals) written by Graham Good and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988, this title is a study of the essay as a literary genre, not just in terms of its general intellectual and literary history, but as an exploration of the creative possibilities of the form. The rise of the essay is discussed in relation to the rise of the novel and the emergence of empiricism in science, but the main focus of Graham Good’s study is on the inner workings of the essay itself. Drawing on criticism by Adorno and Lukacs, Graham Good presents the genre as an expression of individualism, freed from tradition and authority, in which the self constructs itself and its object through independent observation. Through analysis of the work of such essayists as Montaigne, Bacon, Virginia Wolf, T. S. Eliot and George Orwell, the potential of the genre for independence and individualism is illustrated, and the essay is resituated as an intellectually challenging form of creative and critical writing.
Book Synopsis Jacques Derrida (Routledge Revivals) by : William Schultz
Download or read book Jacques Derrida (Routledge Revivals) written by William Schultz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 882 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1992, this book represents the first major attempt to compile a bibliography of Derrida’s work and scholarship about his work. It attempts to be comprehensive rather than selective, listing primary and secondary works from the year of Derrida’s Master’s thesis in 1954 up until 1991, and is extensively annotated. It arranges under article type a huge number of works from scholars across numerous fields — reflecting the interdisciplinary and controversial nature of Deconstruction. The substantial introduction and annotations also make this bibliography, in part, a critical guide and as such will make a highly useful reference tool for those studying his philosophy.

Book Synopsis Tristram Shandy (Routledge Revivals) by : Max Byrd
Download or read book Tristram Shandy (Routledge Revivals) written by Max Byrd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Max Byrd’s lucidly written and compelling volume aims to provide a scholarly introduction to one of the most puzzling pieces of eighteenth-century literature, and a stimulus to critical thought and discussion. Laurence Sterne – an eccentric and largely unsuccessful clergyman - was forty-six when he sat down in January of 1759 to being his literary masterpiece. Aside from his sermons, only two of which had ever been published, Sterne had little more to do with the literary life than any other respectable provincial clergyman. His explosion into the history of English literature occurred not only without preparation, but also without apparent aptitude. Tristram Shandy, first published in 1985, sketches Sterne’s life and literary antecedents, closely analysing key passages of his great satire and concluding with the critical history and bibliography. It will thus be of use to all students of eighteenth-century English literature.

Book Synopsis Reading the Renaissance (Routledge Revivals) by : Jonathan Hart
Download or read book Reading the Renaissance (Routledge Revivals) written by Jonathan Hart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading the Renaissance, first published in 1996, is a collection of essays discussing the literature, drama, poetics and culture of the Renaissance period. The Renaissance, which extends from about 1300 to 1700 depending on the country, was originally a rebirth of the arts but has also come to apply to the wider cultural change in the face of modernization. The essays represent a plural Renaissance and explore the boundaries between genre and gender, languages and literatures, reading and criticism, the Renaissance and the medieval, the early modern and the postmodern, world and theatre. There is also a plurality of methods that is fitting for the variety of topics and the richness of the Renaissance. This book is ideal for students of literature and theatre studies.
Book Synopsis Essays on Fiction 1971-82 (Routledge Revivals) by : Sir Frank Kermode
Download or read book Essays on Fiction 1971-82 (Routledge Revivals) written by Sir Frank Kermode and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, which was first published in 1983, Frank Kermode looks in particular at the revived Russian Formalism, a highly original body of literary theory that flourished in the years immediately following the Revolution, and at the work of Roman Jakobson, one of its most distinguished exponents. He discusses its modern ‘structuralist’ descendants, recalling the importance of Roland Barthes and the invigorating effect of his fertile and surprising mind. He considers also the work of Foucault, Laca and Levi-Strauss, as well as that of Jacques Derrida, which uses a novel and de(con)structive method of analysis to question to tacit assumptions on which structuralism is based. In an opening chapter, Professor Kermode surveys his relationship with the new theory, explaining that it is a relation from which he has benefited without ever feeling disposed to join a movement. These essays will be of interest to students of literature.
