Автор: Foscolo Ugo Название: Ugo Foscolo`s Ultime Lettere Di Jacopo Ortis: A Translation ISBN: 0807890898 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780807890899 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 33270.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Ugo Foscolo's Last Letters of Jacopo Ortis, written between 1799 and 1815, was the first true Italian novel. Its epistolary form is in the eighteenth-century tradition of novels like Clarissa Harlowe and the Nouvelle Heloise. Jacopo's tragic love for Teresa and his subsequent suicide recall The Sorrows of Young Werther. In addition to being an intensely political novel, this work also expresses the author's romantic conception of nature as a mirror of human emotions.
Автор: Erin Michael Salius Название: Sacraments of Memory: Catholicism and Slavery in Contemporary African American Literature ISBN: 0813056896 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813056890 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 66840.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book argues that Catholicism informs a major genre of African American literature in ways and with a significance that has gone largely unrecognized. Sacraments of Memory thus proposes a new framework for understanding the revisionist aims of these works, contextualizing the skepticism they exhibit towards historical realism in terms of a Catholic counter-tradition in American literature that has long been associated with superstition and irrationality.
Автор: Hertha D. Sweet Wong Название: Picturing Identity: Contemporary American Autobiography in Image and Text ISBN: 1469640708 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781469640709 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 29260.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In this book, Hertha D. Sweet Wong examines the intersection of writing and visual art in the autobiographical work of twentieth and -twenty-first century American writers and artists each of whom employ a mix of written and visual forms of self-narration. Combining approaches from autobiography studies and visual studies, Wong argues that grappling with the breakdown of stable definitions of identity and unmediated representation, these writers-artists experiment with hybrid autobiography in image and text to break free of inherited visual-verbal regimes and revise painful histories. These works provide an interart focus for examining the possibilities of self-representation and self-narration, the boundaries of life writing, and the relationship between image and text.
Wong considers eight writers-artists including comic-book author Art Spiegelman; Faith Ringgold, known for her story quilts; and celebrated Indigenous writer Leslie Marmon Silko. Wong shows how her subjects formulate webs of intersubjectivity shaped by historical trauma, geography, race, and gender as they envision new possibilities of selfhood and fresh modes of self-narration in word and image.

Автор: Jacob Stratman Название: Teens and the New Religious Landscape: Essays on Contemporary Young Adult Fiction ISBN: 1476668078 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781476668079 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 55440.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: How are the religious experiences of teenagers expressed in today’s young adult literature? How do authors use religious texts and beliefs to add depth to characters, settings and plots? How does YA fiction place itself in the larger conversation regarding the post secular?Modern YA fiction does not shy away from the dilemmas and anxieties teenagers face today. While many stories end with the protagonist in a state of flux—if not despair—some authors choose redemption or reconciliation. This collection of new essays explores these questions and more, with a focus on stories in which characters respond to a new (often shifting) religious landscape, in both realistic and fantastic worlds.

Автор: Heike Scharm, Natalia Matta Jara Название: Postnational Perspectives on Contemporary Hispanic Literature ISBN: 081305494X ISBN-13(EAN): 9780813054940 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 66840.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Taking a postnational approach, contributors examine works by Jos? Mart?, Carlos Ruiz Zaf?n, Junot D?az, Mario Vargas Llosa, Cecilia Vicu?a, Jorge Luis Borges, and other writers. They discuss how expanding worldviews have impacted the way these authors write and how they are read today. Whether analyzing the increasingly popular character of the voluntary exile, the theme of masculinity in This Is How You Lose Her, or the multilingual nature of the Spanish language itself, they show how contemporary Hispanic writers and critics are engaging in cross-cultural literary conversations. Drawing from a range of fields including postcolonial, Latino, gender, exile, and transatlantic studies, these essays help characterize a new “world” literature that reflects changing understandings of memory, belonging, and identity.
