Book Synopsis Screening The Novel by : Keith Selby
Download or read book Screening The Novel written by Keith Selby and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book takes as its theme the relationship between literature and the contemporary means of production and distribution collectively termed 'the media' - in particular, film and television. The intention of the book is to explore and evaluate the mutual opportunities and restrictions in this relationship. In the grammar of our culture there seems to be an accepted opinion that print is superior in terms of cultural production to film, radio or television, that to read a book is somehow a 'higher' cultural activity than seeing a play on television or seeing a film. By the same token, a novel is a 'superior' work of art to film or television. The longer perspective reveals that traditionally there always is a greater respect paid to the previous mode of literary production - poetry was superior to drama, poetic drama was superior to the novel, and film attained cult and classic status initially over television.
Book Synopsis The Novel of Female Adultery by : Bill Overton
Download or read book The Novel of Female Adultery written by Bill Overton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel of adultery is a nineteenth-century form about the experience of women, produced almost exclusively by men. Bill Overton's study is the first to address the gender implications of this form, and the first to write its history. The opening chapter defines the terms 'adultery' and 'novel of adultery', and discusses how the form arose in Continental Europe, but failed to appear in Britain. Successive chapters deal with its development in France, and with examples from Russia, Denmark, Germany, Spain and Portugal.
Book Synopsis Islamophobia and the Novel by : Peter Morey
Download or read book Islamophobia and the Novel written by Peter Morey and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rampant Islamophobia, what do literary representations of Muslims and anti-Muslim bigotry tell us about changing concepts of cultural difference? In Islamophobia and the Novel, Peter Morey analyzes how recent works of fiction have framed and responded to the rise of anti-Muslim prejudice, showing how their portrayals of Muslims both reflect and refute the ideological preoccupations of media and politicians in the post-9/11 West. Islamophobia and the Novel discusses novels embodying a range of positions—from the avowedly secular to the religious, and from texts that appear to underwrite Western assumptions of cultural superiority to those that recognize and critique neoimperial impulses. Morey offers nuanced readings of works by John Updike, Ian McEwan, Hanif Kureishi, Monica Ali, Mohsin Hamid, John le Carré, Khaled Hosseini, Azar Nafisi, and other writers, emphasizing the demands of the literary marketplace for representations of Muslims. He explores how depictions of Muslim experience have challenged liberal assumptions regarding the novel’s potential for empathy and its ability to encompass a variety of voices. Morey argues for a greater degree of critical self-consciousness in our understanding of writing by and about Muslims, in contrast to both exclusionary nationalism and the fetishization of difference. Contemporary literature’s capacity to unveil the conflicted nature of anti-Muslim bigotry expands our range of resources to combat Islamophobia. This, in turn, might contribute to Islamophobia’s eventual dismantling.
Book Synopsis Women, the Novel, and Natural Philosophy, 1660–1727 by : K. Gevirtz
Download or read book Women, the Novel, and Natural Philosophy, 1660–1727 written by K. Gevirtz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-03-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shows how early women novelists from Aphra Behn to Mary Davys drew on debates about the self generated by the 'scientific' revolution to establish the novel as a genre. Fascinated by the problematic idea of a unified self underpinning modes of thinking, female novelists innovated narrative structures to interrogate this idea.
Book Synopsis Critical Theory and the Novel by : David Bruce Suchoff
Download or read book Critical Theory and the Novel written by David Bruce Suchoff and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using the methods of Frankfurt School theorists Walter Benjamin and Theodor Adorno, David Suchoff offers new readings of Dickens, Melville, and Kafka that underscore the political and social critiques inherent in their novels. Suchoff s aim is to redeem the critical power of mass culture in the modern novel, and he argues that ideological battles fought in American literary criticism during the Cold War decades have limited our current interpretations of mass culture s critical force in political fiction. Suchoff demonstrates how the works of these nineteenth- and early twentieth-century novelists were taken up into the Cold War literary canon and made to fit the arguments of American liberal critics for subversive fiction and of New Historicist critics for a contained modern novel. Applying Benjamin's redemptive criticism and Adorno's dialectical method, Suchoff's readings of Dickens, Melville, and Kafka show how the political problems posed by mass culture and audience for each writer became part of the dialectically critical grain of their most important social novels. He examines Dickens s struggle with Victorian taste and the relation of his work to advertising and other nonliterary forms, Melville s confrontations with popular ideologies of American expansion and race, and Kafka's concern with the popular Yiddish theater and Jewish political movements. Throughout, Suchoff reveals the continuing importance of commodity culture in the novel tradition and the concurrent development of cultural criticism. "Critical Theory and the Novel" provides a useful introduction to Benjamin and Adorno and their uses in practical criticism. It is also an illuminating study of the historical origins of literary theory and cultural criticism and a contribution to the expanding field of Cultural Studies."
