On Lightness in World Literature
Author: B. Scott
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1137346841
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Despite the apparent ubiquity of light literature, and despite the greater cultural prestige it has been afforded in recent decades, very little has been written on the adjective that actually defines this category. What, precisely, does it signify, and what are some of the key strategies by which the effect of lightness is achieved within literary discourse? In this original and engaging study, Bede Scott explores the aesthetic quality of lightness as demonstrated by a diverse range of narratives – spanning four different centuries and five different countries. In each case, he focuses on a specific 'type' of lightness, whether it be the refined triviality of Sei Shonagon's Pillow Book, the ludic tendencies of Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis' Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas, or the 'exhilarating and primitive vitality' of Voltaire's Candide. By bringing together such disparate sources, Scott makes a strong case for the universality of this particular aesthetic value, while also subjecting its underlying structural features to close critical scrutiny.

The Promise of the Suburbs
Author: Sarah Bilston
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300186363
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
A study of the fast-growing Victorian suburbs as places of connection, creativity, and professional advance, especially for women From the earliest decades of the nineteenth century, the suburbs were maligned by the aristocratic elite as dull zones of low cultural ambition and vulgarity, as well as generally female spaces isolated from the consequential male world of commerce. Sarah Bilston argues that these attitudes were forged to undermine the cultural authority of the emerging middle class and to reinforce patriarchy by trivializing women’s work. Resisting these stereotypes, Bilston reveals how suburban life offered ambitious women, especially women writers, access to supportive communities and opportunities for literary and artistic experimentation as well as professional advancement. From more familiar figures such as the sensation author Mary Elizabeth Braddon to interior design journalist Jane Ellen Panton and garden writer Jane Loudon, this work presents a more complicated portrait of how women and English society at large navigated a fast-growing, rapidly changing landscape.

Cosmos of Tranquillity
Author: Dipanjan Bhattacharjee
Publisher: Sankalp Publication
ISBN: 9390468019
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
Preface Dear readers, I take this opportunity to thank you all for selecting this book. This is my first book and I have tried with utter honesty to deliver what my heart holds and what my soul feels. I have been into poetry since my age old school days. My little fingers started learning ways to express various elements of trivial and vital concerns through a spontaneous arrangement of words and in no time I found myself swimming amid the sea of words and thoughts. Imaginations and thoughts are among those splendid abilities of human mind to take us to different lands across the globe and even beyond. Being a poet and an author, I often find myself held among those vibes of chaos and tranquillity. Through each of these poems, I have tried to cover a wider spectrum of arenas across the mortal and immortal world. Cosmos of Tranquillity will give you an insight into the nature, mundane whereabouts of human beings, mysteries, horror, romance and fiction and many such heart winning and mind boggling genres. The thoughts and meanings that hold the soul of each poem and the arrangement of words that adorn those thoughts will make you feel the flavour and fragrance and will take you to the journeys that often remained unexplored. I have tried my best to connect bead by bead my thoughts to give them a form that can talk to you and feel your pain and happiness. Your valuable feedbacks are always an asset to me. Your love, support and blessings are all I need. The creation of a creator finds its meaning only when it gains appreciation. My joy and success lies only in the smile that I can draw on your lips and the satisfaction that I can impregnate in your thirsty soul. The ability to trigger an intense desire to read, the thirst to explore and the happiness to accompany you throughout your solitary moments of life will announce my success as a poet and an author. With a heart filled with love and soul filled with gratitude, I wish you all a happy life ahead.

The Spaces of the Modern City
Author: Gyan Prakash
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 1400839300
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
By United Nations estimates, 60 percent of the world's population will be urban by 2030. With the increasing speed of urbanization, especially in the developing world, scholars are now rethinking standard concepts and histories of modern cities. The Spaces of the Modern City historicizes the contemporary discussion of urbanism, highlighting the local and global breadth of the city landscape. This interdisciplinary collection examines how the city develops in the interactions of space and imagination. The essays focus on issues such as street design in Vienna, the motion picture industry in Los Angeles, architecture in Marseilles and Algiers, and the kaleidoscopic paradox of post-apartheid Johannesburg. They explore the nature of spatial politics, examining the disparate worlds of eighteenth-century Baghdad, nineteenth-century Morelia, Cold War-era West Berlin, and postwar Los Angeles. They also show the meaning of everyday spaces to urban life, illuminating issues such as crime in metropolitan London, youth culture in Dakar, "memory projects" in Tokyo, and Bombay cinema. Informed by a range of theoretical writings, this collection offers a fresh and truly global perspective on the nature of the modern city. The contributors are Sheila Crane, Belinda Davis, Mamadou Diouf, Philip J. Ethington, David Frisby, Christina M. Jiménez, Dina Rizk Khoury, Ranjani Mazumdar, Frank Mort, Martin Murray, Jordan Sand, and Sarah Schrank.
