Book excerpt: The last novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne paints a surreal picture of guilt, love and responsibility when describing the adventures of three Americans and one Italian in the eternal city of Rome. The book starts by introducing the characters. The first is Kenyon, an American sculptor who comes to Rome to study the Ancients. In his footsteps are Hilda and Miriam, two art students with different backgrounds. Finally, the Italian count Donatello, a friend of the group is introduced. The Italian is compared to the statue of a Faun by Praxiteles, alluding to his lack of conscience and general ease of mind. Hawthorne's story takes many detours, describing in detail Ancient Art and the beauty of the city. Miriam, the passionate and exotic woman from New England has a chance encounter with a stranger in the catacombs. From this point onward, the stranger stalks her through the city, never far behind.

Book Synopsis Mark Twain's Literary Resources by : Alan Gribben
Download or read book Mark Twain's Literary Resources written by Alan Gribben and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 1124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Alan Gribben, a foremost Twain scholar, made waves in 1980 with the publication of Mark Twain's Library, a study that exposed for the first time the breadth of Twain's reading and influences. Prior to Gribben's work, much of Twain's reading history was assumed lost, but through dogged searching Gribben was able to source much of Twain's library. Mark Twain's Literary Resources is a much-expanded examination of Twain's library and readings. Volume I included Gribben's reflections on the work involved in cataloging Twain's reading and analysis of Twain's influences and opinions. This volume, long awaited, is an in-depth and comprehensive accounting of Twain's literary history. Each work read or owned by Twain is listed, along with information pertaining to editions, locations, and more. Gribben also includes scholarly annotations that explain the significance of many works, making this volume of Mark Twain's Literary Resources one of the most important additions to our understanding of America's greatest author.
Book Synopsis Hawthorne's View of the Artist by : Millicent Bell
Download or read book Hawthorne's View of the Artist written by Millicent Bell and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1962-06-30 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hawthorne depicted by Professor Bell in these pages will be as much of a surprise to many readers as is his appearance in the rare 1847 daguerreotype reproduced on the book-jacket. "This virtually unknown portrait," says the author, "corresponds with Samuel Goodrich's description, in 1856, of the New England writer: ...'his hair dark and bushy, his eye steel gray, his brow thick, his mouth sarcastic, his whole aspect cold, moody, distrustful....At this period...he had tried his hand in literature and considered himself to have met with a fatal rebuff from the reading world'" (pp. 92-93). His sensitiveness to the predicament of the artist in early-nineteenth-century America—when the rush for power, money, and social prestige relegated creative talent to the dustbin—filled Hawthorne's writings with penetrating statements about the artist's fate in the new scientific, industrial world, statements still applicable today.
Book Synopsis Published Poems by : Herman Melville
Download or read book Published Poems written by Herman Melville and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-02 with total page 961 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although he surprised the world in 1866 with his first published book of poetry, Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War, Herman Melville had long been steeped in poetry. This new offering in the authoritative Northwestern-Newberry series, The Writings of Herman Melville, with a historical note by Hershel Parker, is testament to Melville the poet. Penultimate in the publication of the series, Published Poems follows the release of Melville’s verse epic, Clarel (1876), and with it, contains the entirety of the poems published during Melville’s lifetime: Battle-Pieces, as well as John Marr and Other Sailors, with Some Sea-Pieces (1888), and Timoleon Etc. (1891). Battle-Pieces and Aspects of the War has long been recognized as a great contribution to the poetry of the Civil War, comparable only to Whitman’s Drum-Taps. Its idiosyncrasies, many of them grounded in British poetry, kept it from immediate popularity, but it was not the production of a novice. Melville had made himself over into a poet in the late 1850s and had tried to publish a previous collection of poetry—now lost—in 1860. John Marr and Other Sailors is a retrospective nautical book. Its portraits of sailors were influenced by Melville’s own experience of aging as well as by his long acquaintance with wasted mariners at the Sailors’ Snug Harbor on Staten Island, where his brother was governor. The book modulates into "Sea-Pieces," including the grisly "Maldive Shark" and "To Ned," a powerful reflection on how Melville’s personal adventures with the Typee islanders in 1842 had accrued rich historical significance over the decades. Thematically less unified, Timoleon Etc. contains poems with many European and exotic settings from ancient to modern times. The most famous are "After the Pleasure Party" and "The Age of the Antonines." Published in the last year of Melville’s life, some of the poems were first written many years earlier; for example, Melville copied "The Age of the Antonines" out for his brother-in-law in 1877, describing it as something found in a bundle of old papers. One whole section seems to have been almost entirely salvaged from the unpublished 1860 volume of poetry. As with the other volumes in the Northwestern-Newberry series, the aim of this edition of Published Poems is to present a text as close to the author’s intention as surviving evidence permits. To that end, the editorial appendix includes a historical note by Hershel Parker, the dean of Melville scholars, which gives a compelling, in-depth account of how one of America’s greatest writers grew into the vocation of a poet; an essay by G. Thomas Tanselle on the printing and publishing history of the works in Published Poems; a textual record that identifies the copy-texts for the present edition and explains the editorial policy; and substantial scholarly notes on individual poems.

Book Synopsis Institutions of the English Novel by : Homer Obed Brown
Download or read book Institutions of the English Novel written by Homer Obed Brown and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Institutions of the English Novel, Homer Obed Brown takes issue with the generally accepted origin of the novel in the early eighteenth century. Brown argues that what we now call the novel did not appear as a recognized single "genre" until the early nineteenth century, when the fictional prose narratives of the preceding century were grouped together under that name. After analyzing the figurative and thematic uses of private letters and social gossip in the constitution of the novel, Brown explores what was instituted in and by the fictions of Defoe, Fielding, Sterne, and Scott, with extensive discussion of the pivotal role Scott's work played in the novel's rise to institutional status. This study is an intriguing demonstration of how these earlier narratives are involved in the development and institution of such political and cultural concepts as self, personal identity, the family, and history, all of which contributed to the later possibility of the novel.

Book Synopsis Thanks for Typing by : Juliana Dresvina
Download or read book Thanks for Typing written by Juliana Dresvina and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection uncovers the wives, daughters, mothers, companions and female assistants who laboured in the shadows of famous men. Revealing the reality of uncredited female contributions throughout history, this book highlights the work of neglected and forgotten women associated with celebrated male writers, scholars, activists and politicians. As the #ThanksforTyping movement has shown, anonymous women working to support the work of their male relations and colleagues has been, and often still is, a universal phenomenon. These essays show just how long intelligent and determined women have been sidelined, ignored or forgotten throughout history. From a well-connected Roman matrician to the mother of the poet Philip Larkin, these women have their voices returned to them in twenty engaging chapters. Spanning ancient times to the modern day, they return agency to women who occupied crucial roles behind the scenes, but were always restricted to the supporting role they were obliged to play. The universal importance of these women take on new meaning in our modern era where women's voices are becoming ever-louder and increasingly recognised - including through such a movement as #ThanksforTyping.
