Описание: In The Sound of Nonsense, Richard Elliott highlights the importance of sound in understanding the ‘nonsense’ of writers such as Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, James Joyce and Mervyn Peake, before connecting this noisy writing to works which engage more directly with sound, including sound poetry, experimental music and pop. By emphasising sonic factors, Elliott makes new and fascinating connections between a wide range of artistic examples to ultimately build a case for the importance of sound in creating, maintaining and disrupting meaning.

Автор: Todd Richard Название: Iris Murdoch ISBN: 0367340429 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780367340421 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 30610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Originally published in 1984, Iris Murdoch, widely regarded as one of the major British novelists of her generation at the time, was undoubtedly one of the most popular and prolific, having published twenty-one novels since 1954 (she went on to write many more). But the course of her fiction-writing career was regarded with unease by some of her readers in that it seemed marked by an increasing conservatism of approach which could not have been foreseen in her earliest published fiction. She was acknowledged as one of Britain’s leading moral philosophers and although this study is careful to respect the distinctive integrity of her fiction-writing and her philosophy, it none the less assumes her active presence in contemporary debate as one of the most powerful and original theorists of fiction writing at the time. In this study, Richard Todd systematically, but discriminatingly, surveys all her fiction to date, and attempts to show how her fundamental theme, the interplay between the roles of artist and saint, is developed and expressed in her fiction.

James Joyce and Samaritan Hospitality reads Dubliners and Ulysses through studies of hospitality, particularly that articulated in the Lukan parable of the Good Samaritan. It traces the origins of the novel in part to the physical attacks on Joyce in 1904 Dublin and 1907 Rome, showing how these incidents and the parable were incorporated into his short story ‘Grace’ and throughout Ulysses, especially its last four episodes. Richard Rankin Russell discusses the rich theory of hospitality developed by Joyce and demonstrates that he sought to make us more charitable readers through his explorations and depictions of Samaritan hospitality.
Автор: Russell Richard Rankin Название: Seamus Heaney`s Regions ISBN: 0268040362 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780268040369 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 56050.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Regional voices from England, Ireland, and Scotland inspired Seamus Heaney, the 1995 Nobel prize-winner, to become a poet, and his home region of Northern Ireland provided the subject matter for much of his poetry. In his work, Heaney explored, recorded, and preserved both the disappearing agrarian life of his origins and the dramatic rise of sectarianism and the subsequent outbreak of the Northern Irish "Troubles" beginning in the late 1960s. At the same time, Heaney consistently imagined a new region of Northern Ireland where the conflicts that have long beset it and, by extension, the relationship between Ireland and the United Kingdom might be synthesized and resolved. Finally, there is a third region Heaney committed himself to explore and map--the spirit region, that world beyond our ken. In" Seamus Heaney`s Regions," Richard Rankin Russell argues that Heaney`s regions--the first, geographic, historical, political, cultural, linguistic; the second, a future where peace, even reconciliation, might one day flourish; the third, the life beyond this one--offer the best entrance into and a unified understanding of Heaney`s body of work in poetry, prose, translations, and drama. As Russell shows, Heaney believed in the power of ideas--and the texts representing them--to begin resolving historical divisions. For Russell, Heaney`s regionalist poetry contains a "Hegelian synthesis" view of history that imagines potential resolutions to the conflicts that have plagued Ireland and Northern Ireland for centuries. Drawing on extensive archival and primary material by the poet, "Seamus Heaney`s Regions "examines Heaney`s work from before his first published poetry volume, "Death of a Naturalist" in 1966, to his most recent volume, the elegiac "Human Chain" in 2010, to provide the most comprehensive treatment of the poet`s work to date. "Richard Rankin Russell`s "Seamus Heaney`s Regions "is a major and original contribution; it is hard to think of another critical work on Heaney that is so complete in its coverage, from the earliest activities to" Human Chain." Russell is extremely well-versed in Heaney`s writings, and extends his analysis beyond the usual concentration on the poetry to bring in the crucial prose and dramatic works, including the early, largely forgotten items. The breadth of his approach makes his book of interest to scholars in such neighboring fields as social geography, history, and theology as well as contemporary literature." --Bernard O`Donoghue, Wadham College, University of Oxford
