The Modernist Papers
Author: Fredric Jameson
Publisher: Verso Books
ISBN: 1784783471
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Cultural critic Fredric Jameson, renowned for his incisive studies of the passage of modernism to postmodernism, returns to the movement that dramatically broke with all tradition in search of progress for the first time since his acclaimed A Singular Modernity . The Modernist Papers is a tour de froce of anlysis and criticism, in which Jameson brings his dynamic and acute thought to bear on the modernist literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Jameson discusses modernist poetics, including intensive discussions of the work of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Wallace Stevens, Joyce, Proust, and Thomas Mann. He explores the peculiarties of the American literary field, taking in William Carlos Williams and the American epic, and examines the language theories of Gertrude Stein. Refusing to see modernism as simply a Western phenomenon he also pays close attention to its Japanese expression; while the complexities of a late modernist representation of twentieth-century politics are articulated in a concluding section on Peter Weiss’s novel The Aesthetics of Resistance. Challenging our previous understanding of the literature of this pperiod, this monumental work will come to be regarded as the classic study of modernism.

Pages : 352
Book Description
Excerpt from Dr. Jameson Despite some divergence of interests between the Britisher at home, and the Britisher in our de pendencies, the daily trend of circumstance serves to create a more definite consciousness of our common Imperial citizenship. Naturally generous hearted, we are ever anxious to do homage to those whose work in any portion of our Empire deserves recognition. Too often, however, it happens that, either through stress of our own lives, or through lack of organized information, we fail to appreciate in their lifetime those whom otherwise we would have hastened to honour. The object, of this sketch, therefore, is to supply the too little known records of Jameson's life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Program Era
Author: Mark McGurl
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674266021
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
In The Program Era, Mark McGurl offers a fundamental reinterpretation of postwar American fiction, asserting that it can be properly understood only in relation to the rise of mass higher education and the creative writing program. McGurl asks both how the patronage of the university has reorganized American literature and—even more important—how the increasing intimacy of writing and schooling can be brought to bear on a reading of this literature. McGurl argues that far from occasioning a decline in the quality or interest of American writing, the rise of the creative writing program has instead generated a complex and evolving constellation of aesthetic problems that have been explored with energy and at times brilliance by authors ranging from Flannery O’Connor to Vladimir Nabokov, Philip Roth, Raymond Carver, Joyce Carol Oates, and Toni Morrison. Through transformative readings of these and many other writers, The Program Era becomes a meditation on systematic creativity—an idea that until recently would have seemed a contradiction in terms, but which in our time has become central to cultural production both within and beyond the university. An engaging and stylishly written examination of an era we thought we knew, The Program Era will be at the center of debates about postwar literature and culture for years to come.
