Описание: One of the best-written accounts in English of Singapore in the early 1950s, Snake Wine is the record of Patrick Anderson's two years a lecturer at the University of Malaya. Anderson, a successful British-born Canadian poet, has, according to the blurb for the original edition ""an unjaded eye, an unconventional mind, a taste for the exotic, a keen sense of the droll and a lively interest in the diversity of human manners and motives"". He follows this curiosity far beyond the Bukit Timah campus to a Singapore that has yet to experience the great transformations of the 1960s and 70s.

Anderson's position and background represent privileges he cannot escape, but he cultivates his marginality as a leftist and bisexual. He writes with a gentle humour about the contradictions of his own position as a teacher of English literature to students like Wang Gungwu, Hedwig Anuar and James Puthucheary, a generation preparing themselves for the the struggles that would lead to the formation of Malaysia and, ultimately, an independent Singapore. As Philip Holden writes in his introduction, Anderson's text both enacts and ""consciously undermines its own authority and struggles with issues of privilege, exile, and authority"". Set in the fluid world of the colonial port city, it is ""saturated with queer sexualities"".

Snake Wine, collected here together with a Singapore-related short story and two poems, is an engaging read on many levels, but also one that ""offers an important perspective on the politics and cultures of emergent national elites which is still relevant in Singapore today.

Описание: "The literary significance of these six texts is enormous, and a single, affordable volume containing all of them, in clear and accessible translations, with thorough annotations, [will] be a great boon to teachers of Japanese literature. The strengths of this translation are clear. . . . The annotations are extremely valuable: they show a solid grasp of Bashōs life, work, and times, and provide rich and detailed background, with plentiful information about allusions to Chinese and Japanese texts and connections with other works by Bashō. I dont think I have encountered an English translation of Bashō, or indeed of any Japanese poet, with such comprehensive annotation. . . . The thoroughness with which [these translations are] annotated will make this book a significant scholarly resource; it will also help general readers appreciate the density and delicacy of Bashōs writing. In short, I think this translation of Bashōs travel diaries will be an important and welcome addition to the English-language literature on one of the most important poets of the Japanese tradition ." —David Lurie, Columbia University

Описание:

If Marguerite Blessington (1788-1849) - the "most gorgeous lady" in Dr. Samuel Parr's words - is ever remembered today, it is mostly for her famous literary salon and for her 'Conversations of Lord Byron' (1833 l-34), one of the poet's early biographies. She is also infamous for the relationship with her step-daughter's husband, the French dandy Count D'Orsay. Hardly anything, however, has been written on Blessington as a traveller and a travel writer. In 1820 she set off on a series of tours, in the course of which she kept journals which were then published as 'A Tour in The Isle of Wight, in the Autumn of 1820' (1822), 'Journal of a Tour through the Netherlands to Paris in 1821' (1822), 'The Idler in Italy' (1839) and 'The Idler in France' (1841).

Convinced that Marguerite Blessington merits scholarly attention as a travel writer, Aneta Lipska's 'The Travel Writings of Marguerite Blessington' offers the first detailed analysis of Blessington's four travel books. This book reveals that travelling and travel writing offered Blessington endless opportunities to reshape her public personae, demonstrating that her predilection for self-fashioning was related to the various tendencies in tourism and literature as well as the changing aesthetic and social trends in the first half of the nineteenth century. The book argues that the author constructed diverse images of herself, depending on the circumstances in which she found herself. The early travel accounts foreground the personae of a chaperoned woman traveller and a novice writer, allowing her admission to the genre of travel writing. The mature travel writings present her to the public as indeed the "most gorgeous lady" on the tour and a seasoned travel writer solidifying her position as a celebrity.
