Robert Lowell, Nihilist as Hero
Author: Vereen M. Bell
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 9780674775855
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Vereen Bell gives us a subtly reasoned account of the pattern of Lowell's poetry is characterized above all by its chronic and systematic pessimism, but that, paradoxically, Lowell's reluctance to accept the consequences of his own unsparing vision is what gives his poetry its vigor, richness, and tonal complexity.

Urban Nightmares
Author: Josepha Sherman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780671878511
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Folklore in the past has given body to ghosts, ghouls, vampires, werewolves, and other sinister creations of human fears and imagination. Modern urban folklore provides a host of new menaces, and these terrors are now lurking in distant European castles, but are waiting for readers down the block, in the office elevator, under the concrete of their street. Is that only air clanging in the plumbing or is some thing coming up from the dark depths of the city and into readers' personal urban nightmare?

The Modern American Urban Novel
Author: Arnold L. Goldsmith
Publisher: Wayne State University Press
ISBN: 9780814319949
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Goldsmith challenges the view that nature is absent in the modern urban novel, and interprets the phrase the interweaving of physical description and symbolism, metaphor and characterization, and theme and imagery that give internal form to external narrative. He provides a textual analysis of seven 20th- century American novels: Manhattan transfer, Studs Lonigan, Call it sleep, The Dollmaker, The Assistant, The Pawnbroker, and Mr. Sammler's planet.

Decadent Verse
Author: Caroline Blyth
Publisher: Anthem Press
ISBN: 1843313170
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 938
Book Description
This volume is both an essential resource for undergraduates and graduates studying Victorian and Decadent literature and an instructive work for enthusiastic readers of verse. The wide span of the 1872–1900 epoch enables readers to appreciate in great depth the literary developments that led to the fin de siècle, unlike most studies of this period, which focus solely on the 1890s, with no relation to cultural and historical developments in the previous two important decades.
