Chesnutt and Realism: A Study of the Novels

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simmons, Ryan, PUBLISHER: University Alabama Press, An important examination of Charles Chesnutt as a practitioner of ong>realismong>. With the release of previously unpublished novels and a recent proliferation of critical studies on his life and work, Charles W. Chesnutt () has emerged as a major American writer of his time--the age of Howells, Twain, and Wharong>toong>n. In "Chesnutt and ong>Realismong>, "Ryan Simmons breaks new ground by theorizing how understandings of literary ong>realismong> have shaped, and can continue ong>toong> shape, the reception of Chesnutt's work. Although Chesnutt is typically acknowledged as the most prominent African American writer of the realist period, little attention has been paid ong>toong> the central question of this study: what does it mean ong>toong> call Chesnutt a realist? A writer whose career was circumscribed by the dismal racial politics of his era, Chesnutt refused ong>toong> conform ong>toong> literary conventions for depicting race. Nor did he use his imaginative skills ong>toong> evade the realities he and other African Americans faced. Rather, he experimented with ways of portraying reality that could elicit an appropriate, proportionate response ong>toong> it, as Simmons demonstrates in extended readings of each of Chestnutt's novels, including important unpublished works that have been overlooked by previous critics. "Chesnutt and ong>Realismong>" also addresses a curiously neglected subject in American literary studies--the relationship between American literary ong>realismong> and race. By taking Chesnutt seriously as a contribuong>toong>r ong>toong> ong>realismong>, this book articulates the strategies by which one African American intellectual helped ong>toong> define the discourses that influenced his fate.

The Cambridge Companion to Brecht

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thomson, Peter / Sacks, Glendyr, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This Companion offers students crucial guidance on Brecht's theatrical career from beginning ong>toong> end, bringing ong>toong>gether the contrasting views of major critics and active practitioners ong>toong> offer a provocative overview. The nineteen newly-commissioned essays place Brecht's creative work in its hisong>toong>rical and biographical context, with separate essays on seven major plays, on the poetry, the theatrical theories, the use of music, the innovations in stage design, the ways of working with acong>toong>rs and his hugely influential career with the Berliner Ensemble.

The Republic of Armenia, Vol. IV: Between Crescent and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hovannisian, Richard G., PUBLISHER: University of California Press, With these two volumes, Richard Hovannisian completes his definitive hisong>toong>ry of the first independent Armenian state in modern times and provides the basis for comparison with the new Armenian republic established in after seven decades of Soviet rule. Based on Armenian, Russian, Turkish, German, Italian, French, and English-language archival materials, these volumes provide the first comprehensive, multidimensional analysis of this critical turning point in Armenian hisong>toong>ry--a period clouded in misinformation and controversy. Volume Four examines the final months of the Armenia republic and the destructive impact of a Soviet-Turkish entente on the goal of a united, independent Armenia. The Turkish-Armenian war from September ong>toong> December culminated in the loss of half of the Armenian republic and the Sovietization of what was left. The experiment in Armenian independence had failed; and the Armenian people, unable ong>toong> gather ong>toong>gether in a common homeland, remained scattered among communities in the diaspora and in the Soviet Union. At the time, no one could predict that a new opportunity for independence would unfold before the end of the century.

Political Thought and International Relations: Variations on

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bell, Duncan, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, Political ong>realismong> dominated the study of international relations during the Cold War. Since then, however, its fortunes have been mixed: pushed onong>toong> the backfoot during s, it has in recent years retuned ong>toong> the centre of scholarly debate in international relations. Yet despite its significance in international relations theory, ong>realismong> plays little role in contemporary international political theory. It is often associated with a form of crude realpolitik that ignores the role of ethical considerations in political life. This book explores an alternative understanding of ong>realismong>. The contribuong>toong>rs view ong>realismong> chiefly as a diverse and complex mode of political and ethical theorising rather than either a value-neutral branch of social science or the unreflective defence of the national interest. They analyse a variety of hisong>toong>rical and philosophical themes, probing the potential and the pathologies of realist thought. A number of the chapters offer critical interpretations of key figures in the canon of twentieth century ong>realismong>, including Hans Morgenthau, E. H. Carr, and Reinhold Niebuhr. Others seek ong>toong> widen the lens through which ong>realismong> is usually viewed, exploring the writings of Martin Heidegger, Hannah Arendt, and Leo Strauss. Finally, a number of the contribuong>toong>rs engage with general issues in political theory, including the meaning and value of pessimism, the relationship between power and ethics, the role of normative political theory, and what might constitute political 'reality.' Straddling international relations and political theory, this book makes a significant contribution ong>toong> both fields.

The United Front: The Tuc and the Russians

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Calhoun, Daniel F. / Calhoun, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The book concerns the Soviet effort during the s ong>toong> make contact with - and if possible revolutionize - the European labour movement, by first establishing a special relationship with the British Trades Union Congress. The ultimate failure of that effort, after the collapse of the general strike in , inspired Trotsky ong>toong> try one last time ong>toong> oust Stalin, a confrontation that led ong>toong> utter collapse of the Trotskyite opposition in . The author suggests the failure of this particular 'united front' effort was a major facong>toong>r in the sectarianism and isolationism of the Communist movement from ong>toong> , and thus had a significant affect on the rise of the Nazi party in Germany.

Passport to Hollywood

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morrison, James, PUBLISHER: State University of New York Press, In Passport ong>toong> Hollywood, James Morrison examines a series of Hollywood films by direcong>toong>rs from European art-cinemas. Drawing widely on current research in film theory, film hisong>toong>ry, and cultural studies, he traces the influence of European filmmakers in Hollywood from the s ong>toong> the s and illuminates the relation between ong>modernismong> and mass-culture in American movies. By interpreting important American films, Morrison also shows how these films illustrate key issues of cultural hierarchy and national culture over fifty years of American cinema. In addition, he explores the complex and often contradicong>toong>ry ways that these Hollywood movies conceptualize ideas about "foreignness". Using insightful close viewings, Morrison demonstrates new connections among ong>modernismong>, postong>modernismong>, and American movies.

Edith Wharton's Dialogue with Realism and Sentimental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoeller, Hildegard, PUBLISHER: University Press of Florida, Arguing against the prevailing view of Edith Wharong>toong>n as a realist writer, Hildegard Hoeller opens up the Wharong>toong>n canon by finding the "real" Wharong>toong>n in the writer's sentimental voice and in her critique of ong>realismong>. With this focus on a blind spot in Wharong>toong>n criticism, Hoeller demonstrates that the celebrated American writer created a dialogue between the two literary traditions. Most analyses of Wharong>toong>n's work describe her early triumph as a realist and then her decline in the s inong>toong> sentimental fiction. Instead, Hoeller examines important sentimental moments in Wharong>toong>n's "realist" masterpieces and finds ong>realismong> in the sentimental "minor" work (including the undervalued novel, The Mother's Recompense). Hoeller shows that Wharong>toong>n used the sentimental voice both ong>toong> express the truth of female desire and ong>toong> express her critique of male ong>realismong>. In this, Wharong>toong>n is shown ong>toong> be fully in control of her art from the beginning ong>toong> the end of her career. Using Wharong>toong>n as a case study, Hoeller maintains that the ongoing argument about the value of American sentimental fiction could benefit by seriously considering sentimental aesthetics. Only then, she says, will the term sentimental cease ong>toong> be a label for inferior, female, and popular fiction and become a serious literary concept. This innovative book will be of interest ong>toong> scholars of 19th- and 20th-century American fiction as well as feminist scholars and those interested in the ongoing debate about the American literary canon.

This new study provides an introduction ong>toong> the politics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgzstan, Tajikistan, Turkestan, and Uzbekistan.

Burning City: Poems of Metropolitan Modernity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rasula, Jed / Conley, Tim, PUBLISHER: Action Books, Poetry. BURNING CITY acts as a "multisensory Baedecker" ong>toong> the many incarnations of international ong>modernismong> from . Inspired by the abandoned plans of the early avant-garde poet Yvan Goll ong>toong> write a hisong>toong>ry of modernity through the poetry of that era, scholars Jed Rasula and Tim Conley have carried out Goll's project, scouring the small journals and magazines of the period for both lost and seminal texts. BURNING CITY is organized not just according ong>toong> the cities which inspired the texts--Paris, Cracow, Buenos Aires, and so on--but according ong>toong> such icons of the modern urban experience as "Cineland," "Music Hall," "Electric Man." BURNING CITY makes a new contribution ong>toong> anthologies of both poetry and ong>modernismong> by its thematic focus on city life, by its inclusion of poets from languages and nationalities seldom represented in standard US surveys, and by its preservation of the typographic versatility of the this feverishly innovating period."'The fascination of cities, ' wrote Langsong>toong>n Hughes, 'seizes me, burning like a fever in the blood.' BURNING CITY enacts that passion with asong>toong>nishing skill and learning. Whatever else ong>Modernismong> was or was not, its geography was that of the New Urbanism: from Paris and Berlin ong>toong> Sao Paulo and Shanghai, from such icons as the Eiffel ong>Toong>wer and the Empire State Building ong>toong> Moscow's Nikitin Circus, it is the City in all its contradictions, its splendors and miseries, that was ong>toong> become the laboraong>toong>ry of ong>modernismong>, still dominating our dreams and nightmares a century after the fact. Truly global in its reach, yet local in its exacting particularities, BURNING CITY breaks down the old familiar isms and genre divisions, introducing us ong>toong> writings we've never seen before, printed side by side with our favorite poems by Huidobro and Musil, Mayakovsky and Mina Loy. In a nutshell, the map of ong>modernismong> will never be the same "--Marjorie Perloff

Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR :

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brandist, Craig / Chown, Katya, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, 'Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR ' provides ground-breaking research inong>toong> the complex interrelations of linguistic theory and politics during the first two decades of the USSR.
