Book Synopsis The Yard of Wit by : Raymond Stephanson
Download or read book The Yard of Wit written by Raymond Stephanson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2013-10-09 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary composition is more than an intellectual affair. Poetry has long been said to spring from the heart, while aspiring writers are frequently encouraged to write "from the gut." Still another formulation likens the poetic imagination to the pregnant womb, in spite of the fact that most poets historically have been male. Offering a rather different set of arguments about the forces that shape creativity, Raymond Stephanson examines how male writers of the Enlightenment imagined the origins, nature, and structures of their own creative impulses as residing in their virility. For Stephanson, the links between male writing, the social contexts of masculinity, and the male body—particularly the genitalia—played a significant role in the self-fashioning of several generations of male authors. Positioning sexuality as a volatile mechanism in the development of creative energy, The Yard of Wit explains why male writers associated their authorial work—both the internal site of creativity and its status in public—with their genitalia and reproductive and erotic acts, and how these gestures functioned in the new marketplace of letters. Using the figure and writings of Alexander Pope as a touchstone, Stephanson offers an inspired reading of an important historical convergence, a double commodification of male creativity and of masculinity as the sexualized male body. In considering how literary discourses about male creativity are linked to larger cultural formations, this elegant, enlightening book offers new insight into sex and gender, maleness and masculinity, and the intricate relationship between the male body and mind.

Book excerpt: Eleven-year-old Maria considers herself an ordinary girl during a seemingly ordinary time in America when the milkman makes biweekly deliveries, Sunday drives are a regular occurrence, and vacations are spent at a family cabin. Thirty years later as Maria reflects on her childhood memories, she realizes that everything changed after her twelfth birthday when she met an elderly woman. In a collection of six novellas, Stuart Schwartz chronicles the lives of diverse characters as they navigate their way through life surrounded by drama, humor, intrigue, philosophical thoughts, and imaginary fun. Three years after Billy Buttons receives a stuffed lamb as a gift from his mother, he discovers the animal can talk. But the real fun begins when he lets Lambie out of his book bag. In Colonia, Illinois, the neighbors on Orchard Street mostly keep to themselves, except for two couples. Morton and Toni Williams and Ralph and Dawn Schultz are close friends. But when they attend a pyramid-scheme seminar, no one anticipates what comes next. A Wit’s World is a volume of six novellas that highlight the personal experiences and challenges facing a band of characters, each with their own ideas on how to triumph and persevere.

Book excerpt: This “delightful and eccentric new tale”(The Boston Globe) from the bestselling author of The Jane Austen Book Club subverts the whodunit and gives us a thoroughly modern meta-mystery with wit, warmth, and heart. At loose ends and weary from her recent losses—the deaths of an inventive if at times irritating father and her beloved brother—Rima Lansill comes to Wit's End, the home of her legendary godmother, bestselling mystery writer Addison Early, to regroup...and in search of answers. For starters, why did Addison name one of her characters—a murderer—after Rima's father? But Addison is secretive and feisty, so consumed with protecting her famous fictional detective, Maxwell Lane, from the vagaries of the Internet rumor that she has writer's block. As one woman searches for truth, the other struggles to control the reality of her fiction. Rima soon becomes enmeshed in Addison's household of eccentrics: a formerly alcoholic cook and her irksome son, two quirky dog-walkers, a mysterious stalker, the tiny characters that populate Addison's dollhouse crime-scene replicas, and even Maxwell Lane himself. But, wrapped up in a mystery that may or may not be of her own creation, Rima discovers to her surprise that the ultimate solution to this puzzle is the new family she has found at the house called Wit's End. Here, Karen Joy Fowler delivers top-notch storytelling—creating characters both oddball and endearing in a voice that is utterly and memorably her own—in this clever, playful novel about finally allowing oneself to grow up-with a dash of mystery thrown in.
