Sketches, New and Old
Author: Mark Twain
Publisher: Jazzybee Verlag
ISBN: 384967570X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
The long-delayed book of Sketches, contracted for five years before its release, was issued in 1875. "The Jumping Frog" is included in the volume, also the French translation which Madame Blanc (Th. Bentzon) had made for the Revue des deux mondes, with Mark Twain's retranslation back into English, a most astonishing performance in its literal rendition of the French idiom. He included a number of sketches originally published with the Frog, also a selection from the " Memoranda" and Buffalo Express contributions,” and he put in the story of Auntie Cord, with some matter which had never hitherto appeared. Among the new matter in the book were "Some Fables for Good Old Boys and Girls," in which certain wood creatures arc supposed to make a scientific excursion into a place at some time occupied by men. It is the most pretentious feature of the book, and in its way about as good as any.

Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004359060
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Appearing in an era of rapid change in the printing and publishing industries, James Joyce’s Ulysses exploited and exemplified those industries to the degree that the book can be seen as a virtual museum of 1904 media. Publishing in Joyce's “Ulysses”: Newspapers, Advertising and Printing, edited by William S. Brockman, Tekla Mecsnóber and Sabrina Alonso, gathers twelve essays by Joyce scholars exploring facets of those trades that pervade the substance of the book. Essays explore the book’s incorporation of mass-market weekly magazines, contemporary advertising slogans, newspaper clippings, the “Aeolus” episode’s printing office and the varied typographic styles of successive editions of Ulysses. Placing Joyce’s work in its historical milieu, the collection offers a fresh perspective on modern print culture. Contributors are: Sabrina Alonso, Harald Beck, William S. Brockman, Elisabetta d'Erme, Judith Harrington, Matthew Hayward, Sangam MacDuff, Tekla Mecsnóber, Tamara Radak, Fritz Senn, David Spurr, Jolanta Wawrzycka.
