Book Synopsis Routledge Revivals: The Progress of Romance (1986) by : Jean Radford
Download or read book Routledge Revivals: The Progress of Romance (1986) written by Jean Radford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986, the aim of this book is to present some of the changing thinking on popular writing to a wider audience in view of the enormous growth of mass culture after the war, but also to offer a historical perspective on a specific form of popular fiction: the romance. The essays collected here reflect diverse positions and methods in the current debate: sociological, psychoanalytic and literary. Some focus more on texts or readers, others concentrate on theoretical questions about narrative or ideology. All of the essays, however, view popular forms and their uses historical in historical context — rejecting the notion they are a contaminated by-product of industrialism.

Book Synopsis The Book of the Opening of the Mouth: Vol. I (Routledge Revivals) by : E. A. Wallis Budge

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recital of The Book of Opening the Mouth and the Liturgy of Funerary Offerings were in use among the Predynastic Egyptians of the later part of the Neolithic Period, before the art of writing had evolved, and continued to exercise a considerable influence on Egyptian religious literature until the time of Roman Empire. The ceremonies were believed to enable the spiritual elements of the deceased to continue their existence. The object of the formulae was the reconstitution of the body and the restoration to it of the heart-soul ('Ba'). This is the first volume of The Book of Opening the Mouth, first published in 1909, which is edited from three copies written in the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-sixth Dynasties respectively. It is believed they describe faithfully the forms of the rites which originated among the indigenous inhabitants of the Nile Valley.
Book Synopsis Formative Writings (Routledge Revivals) by : Simone Weil
Download or read book Formative Writings (Routledge Revivals) written by Simone Weil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, first published in English in 1987 makes available an important part of Weil’s early writings. Although primarily known as a religious thinker, she devoted enormous energy in her formative years to her work as a political activist and as a philosopher/teacher. This book reveals these other sides of Weil and demonstrates the lines of continuity underlying her whole thought. Written between 1929 and 1941 the book covers a crucial and transitional period in Weil’s life. Taken together they represent invaluable primary source material on the evolution of Weil’s life and on her chosen method of abstracting elements from her personal experience and transmuting that experience into considered thought. Even when highly theoretical, her writing was always concerned with the application of her intelligence to concrete problems of human existence.

Book Synopsis Pompey the Great (Routledge Revivals) by : John Leach
Download or read book Pompey the Great (Routledge Revivals) written by John Leach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Romans of later generations the three decades between the dictatorships of Sulla and of Caesar were the age of Pompey the Great. In spite of the central role he played in Roman history, he remains a shadowy figure compared with the likes of Caesar and Cicero. Pompey the Great, first published in 1978, traces the career of this enigmatic character from his first appearance in public life on the staff of his father Strabo during the Social War, through his early military campaigns as Sulla’s lieutenant in the Civil War 83-82, as the Senate’s general in Italy and Spain during the 70s, to his first consulship with Crassus in 70. The important commands against the pirates and Mithridates, the alliance with Caesar, its eventual collapse into civil war, and the significance of Pompey’s constitutional position for an understanding of the later Augustan settlement war are all discussed with clarity and insight.

Book Synopsis Bodies and Machines (Routledge Revivals) by : Mark Seltzer
Download or read book Bodies and Machines (Routledge Revivals) written by Mark Seltzer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-13 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodies and Machines is a striking and persuasive examination of the body-machine complex and its effects on the modern American cultural imagination. Bodies and Machines, first published in 1992, explores the links between techniques of representation and social and scientific technologies of power in a wide range of realist and naturalist discourses and practices. Seltzer draws on realist and naturalist writing, such as the work of Hawthorne and Henry James, and the discourses which inform it: from scouting manuals and the programmes of systematic management to accounts of sexual biology and the rituals of consumer culture. He explores other mass-produced and mass-consumed cultural forms, including visual representations such as composite photographs, scale models, and the astonishing iconography of standardization.

Book Synopsis Just Looking (Routledge Revivals) by : Rachel Bowlby
Download or read book Just Looking (Routledge Revivals) written by Rachel Bowlby and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-11-18 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spectacular development of early consumer society in Britain, France and the United States had a profound impact on constructions of femininity and masculinity, and commercial and cultural values in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Focusing on novels by Theodore Dreiser, George Gissing and Emile Zola, Just Looking, first published in 1985, addresses itself to a central paradox of the period: the perceived antithesis of the terms "commerce" and "culture" which emerged at a time which saw the actual drawing together of commercial and cultural practices. Drawing on structural, psychoanalytic and Marxist-feminist theory, Rachel Bowlby retrieves a relatively neglected literary area for contemporary political and theoretical concerns, re-establishing the naturalist novel as a rich source for feminists, literary theorists and cultural historians.
