De-familiarizing readings : essays from the Austin Joyce conference by
Alan Warren Friedman(
)
16 editions published between 2009 and 2010 in English and held by 1,425 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Unlike many recent Joyce studies, De-familiarizing Readings eschews the theoretical and ideological and instead plants itself on firmer ground. Its eight outstanding Joyce scholars share a love of the "stuff" of texts, contexts, and intertexts: data and dates, food and clothing, letters and journals, literary allusions, and other quotidian desiderata. Their inductive approaches - whether to Dubliners, Portrait of the Artist, Ulysses, or Finnegans Wake - are thoroughly researched, argued with meticulous, even nit-picking, precision, and offer the pleasurable reading experience of forensic anal

Situating college English : lessons from an American university(
)
6 editions published in 1996 in English and held by 1,039 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This book takes up, and takes seriously, the institutional sites and pedagogical investments of professional identity for college English teachers and examines how these site and investments both constitute and complicate the space of our politics. Drawing on contemporary critical theories, learning technologies, classroom experience, and personal self-reflection, the contributors examine the issues that proceed from our simultaneous occupation of pedagogical and political spaces, institutional and larger sociocultural positions, and differently constructed, empowered, and constrained identities. Their vigilant attention to their own academic practices marks a major step in English studies - a step beyond "political correctness" and toward a more richly principled contextualism and a better situated pedagogical conscience

Mario Vargas Llosa : a collection of critical essays by
Mario Vargas Llosa(
Book
)
9 editions published between 1978 and 2011 in English and held by 707 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa has been acclaimed throughout the literary world as one of Latin America's finest writers, yet until recently little has been written about his work in English. While his work has the subject of an increasing flow of critical commentary in Spanish and his major novels have been translated into English, this is the first full-scale critical treatment of Vargas Llosa published in the English language. These articles by a number of established writers and critics appraise Vargas Llosa's individual novels as well as the body of his work. The Time of the Hero, The Green House, Conversation in The Cathedral, and Pantale n y las visitadoras are examined in order of publication, A second group of more general essays ranges across Vargas Llosa's work and explores pervasive themes and concerns. Two pieces by Jos?Miguel Oviedo serve as a coda. In a bilingual interview, Oviedo and Vargas Llosa discuss Vargas Llosa's novel La t a Julia y el escribidor. Oviedo concludes with a critical discussion of that novel. A Vargas Llosa chronology compiled by the editors is also included. Most of these essays originally appeared in 1977 as a special issue of Texas Studies in Literature and Language. The concluding essay by Oviedo was prepared especially for this edition

Alan Warren Friedman(
Book
)
5 editions published in 2007 in English and held by 340 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Like many of their characters, Joyce and Beckett were superb musicians, creators of performance, and they sought both to evoke and exhaust the resources and rhythms of language and performance. This work explores the rich historical and literary backgrounds of this distinctly Irish phenomenon. It discusses the major works of both authors

Alan Warren Friedman(
Book
)
9 editions published between 1999 and 2015 in English and held by 237 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
<P>In 1934, Nancy Cunard published <I>Negro: An Anthology</I>, which brought together more than two hundred contributions, serving as a plea for racial justice, an exposé of black oppression, and a hymn to black achievement and endurance. The anthology stands as a virtual ethnography of 1930s racial, historic, artistic, political, and economic culture. Samuel Beckett, a close friend of the flamboyant and unconventional Cunard, translated nineteen of the contributions for Negro, constituting Beckett's largest single prose publication. Beckett traditionally has been viewed as an apolitical post

Mia Carter(
Book
)
10 editions published in 2013 in English and held by 185 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
This volume offers a comprehensive representation of the exciting, pivotal, and urgent nature of literary Modernism, as well as more recent approaches including the "global turn."

The turn of the novel by
Alan Friedman(
Book
)
3 editions published between 1965 and 1966 in English and held by 30 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The main concern of this book is the development and transformation of the novel during the first part of the twentieth century. To understand the nature of that change, it is important to recognize that the course of fiction was altered not merely by radically new techniques, but by a new radical vision of experience. One of the purposes of this study is to explore the relation between the formal organization of experience in fiction and the ethical assumptions that guide the form. - Introduction
