Multilingualism and Mother Tongue in Medieval French,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lglu, Catherine / Leglu, Catherine, PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, The Occitan literary tradition of the later Middle Ages is a marginal and hybrid phenomenon, caught between the preeminence of French courtly romance and the emergence of Catalan literary prose. In this book, Catherine Leglu brings together, for the first time in English, prose and verse texts that are composed in Occitan, French, and Catalan-sometimes in a mixture of two of these languages. This book challenges the centrality of "canonical" texts and draws attention to the marginal, the complex, and the hybrid. It explores the varied ways in which literary works in the vernacular composed between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries narrate multilingualism and its apparent opponent, the mother tongue. Leglu argues that the mother tongue remains a fantasy, condemned to alienation from linguistic practices that were, by definition, multilingual. As most of the texts studied in this book are works of courtly literature, these linguistic encounters are often narrated indirectly, through literary motifs of love, rape, incest, disguise, and travel.

The Complete Stories

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Connor, Flannery / Giroux, Robert, PUBLISHER: Noonday Press, Winner of the National Book Award The publication of this extraordinary volume firmly established Flannery O'Connor's monumental contribution to American fiction. There are thirty-one stories here in all, including twelve that do not appear in the only two story collections O'Connor put together in her short lifetime--"Everything That Rises Must Converge "and "A Good Man Is Hard to Find." O'Connor published her first story, "The Geranium," in , while she was working on her master's degree at the University of Iowa. Arranged chronologically, this collection shows that her last story, "Judgement Day"--sent to her publisher shortly before her death--is a brilliantly rewritten and transfigured version of "The Geranium." Taken together, these stories reveal a lively, penetrating talent that has given us some of the most powerful and disturbing fiction of the twentieth century. Also included is an introduction by O'Connor's longtime editor and friend, Robert Giroux.

Concerning E. M. Forster

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kermode, Frank, PUBLISHER: Farrar Straus Giroux, A major reassessment of the great English novelist This impressive new book by the celebrated British critic Frank Kermode examines hitherto neglected aspects of the novelist E. M. Forster's life and work. Kermode is interested to see how it was that this apparently shy, reclusive man should have claimed and kept such a central position in the English writing of his time, even though for decades he composed no fiction and he was not close to any of his great contemporaries--Henry James, Ford Madox Ford, Joseph Conrad, James Joyce. "Concerning E. M. Forster "has at its core the Clark Lectures that Kermode gave at Cambridge University in on the subject of Forster, eighty years after Forster himself gave those lectures, which became "Aspects of the Novel." Kermode reappraised the influence and meaning of that great work, assessed the significance of Forster's profound musicality (Britten thought him the most musical of all writers), and offered a brilliant interpretation of Forster's greatest work, "A Passage to India." But there is more to "Concerning E. M. Forster "than that. Thinking about Forster vis-avis other great modern writers, noting his interest in Proust and Gide and his lack of curiosity about American fiction, and observing that Forster was closest to the people who shared not his literary interests or artistic vocation but, rather, his homosexuality, Kermode's book offers a wise, original, and persuasive new portrait not just of Forster but of twentieth-century English letters.

The Princess

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wick, Lori, PUBLISHER: Thorndike Press, Good, clean fiction: fiction that appeals to all ages, and is appropriate for all ages to read. Dealing with modern life and all its issues in the context of Christian morality, its editorial focus is well-written, compelling, and entertaining fiction with a moral message. In the land of Pendaran, lively, affectionate Shelby Parker was born to a simple life -- yet her mother Daria, and those around her cannot help but notice the graces she possesses. Among those taking note of Shelby's winsome ways and tender heart are the king and queen of the House of Markham, who are seeking a new wife for their widowed son, Prince Nikolai. To uphold a long-cherished tradition of their country, Shelby and Nikolai agree to an arranged marriage. But can the faith they share overcome the barriers between them?

Not a Tame Lion: The Spiritual Legacy of C.S. Lewis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Glaspey, Terry W. / Grant, George, PUBLISHER: GCB Publishing Group, C.S. Lewis in his time was a teacher, a scholar, a public speaker, a writer, a friend, a man of simple tastes; above all, he was a man surrendered to God. His legacy is a rich one: in his books we find a winsome and creative personality who was unswerving in his commitment to orthodoxy, and whose tremendous intellect was wedded not only to his reason but to a powerful imagination (for it was in his flights of literary fantasy that his deepest perceptions of God were birthed). This book is a finely crafted introduction to the character and works of a man who was a true "defender of the faith" -- both in his creation of Aslan and the Land of Narnia and in his non-fiction apologia.

Fre-Mademoiselle Giraud Ma Fem

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Belot, Adolphe / Rivers, Christopher, PUBLISHER: Modern Language Association of America, Adolphe Belot was the envy of his contemporaries Emile Zola and Gustave Flaubert: his books, unlike theirs, were best-sellers. He specialized in popular fiction that provided readers with just the right mix of salaciousness and propriety. (Under the initials A. B. he dispensed entirely with propriety.)The sensational Mademoiselle Giraud, ma femme (published in with a preface by Zola) tells of the suffering of a naive young man whose new bride will not agree to consummate the marriage. Eventually he learns from an acquaintance, to his amazement, that their wives are lovers. In the pitched battle between husband and wife, the sexes are evenly matched -- until the end. Christopher Rivers argues in his introduction that the protagonist's homophobic attitude toward lesbianism is ironically linked to his intimate homosocial bonds with men. This example of commerical fiction, Rivers argues, reveals tensions in nineteenth-century French society not apparent in canonical works of high culture.

Literary Presentations of Divided Germany: The Development

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hutchinson, Peter / Hutchinson, Allen Ed., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book was the first full-length of East German fiction to appear in English. It takes as its subject the political division of Germany into two increasingly incompatible states, and it concentrates on East German fiction for the simple reason that West German writers are ignorant of one of the most significant events of modern history. After dealing with various historical, bibliographical and cultural problems, Dr Hutchinson isolates three narrative devices of particular value to East German writers: creating a discriminating East German visitor to the West who reinforces the standard image of the capitalist world; introducing figures who are representative of each German state; and examining the two states in terms of their relationship with the Third Reich. A conclusion surveys changes in the literary image of Germany's division between and , and compares East German works on the subject with the few written in the West.
