The Critical Response to Jack London (Nuernberg, Susan)

The Critical Response to Jack London , This volume contains the key pieces of criticism on London's major works arranged chronologically to reconstruct the literary debate on London's work from earliest reviews to recent analyses. The essays contained here show how the perception of London's ideas and concerns have evolved throughout the 20th century to reflect the changes in American ethos itself. Jack London continues to be one of America's most popular writers. While most critics have ignored him or underestimated his contribution to American letters for that reason, this anthology shows that some of the best minds of the 20th century have regarded London's work highly. This volume contains the key pieces of criticism on London's major works arranged chronologically to reconstruct the literary debate on London's work from earliest reviews to recent analyses. The essays contained here show how the perception of London's ideas and concerns has evolved throughout the 20th century to reflect the changes in the American ethos itself. London represents the American spirit which views life as dynamic rather than static, changing rather than stable. His philosophy of life was broad to the extent of including contradictions, not narrow and harmonious with the selective ideas of an ideology. He has been the best-selling American writer throughout the world, and has been translated more extensively than any other American or English novelist of the 20th century. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19950830, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Autoren: Nuernberg, Susan, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 336, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 240, Breite: 161, Höhe: 23, Gewicht: 671, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Tom Wolfe

The Critical Response to Tom Wolfe , Author of The Right Stuff and other journalistic writings in a literary vein and the novel Bonfire of the Vanities , Tom Wolfe has been lauded and vilified by the critics for breaking down the barriers between fact and fiction, journalism and literature, and for his stylistic idiosyncrasies. Beginning with The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby , published in 1965, he has turned his keen eye and high spirits--some would say mean spirits--to the sacred cows and icons of art, architecture, fashion, and politics as well as to cults and the drug culture, the Beautiful People, astronauts, and Wall Street stockbrokers. Doug Shomette collects from four to eight representative reviews and critical commentaries on each of Wolfe's eleven major works, including essays by novelists Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and John Hersey, scholars Alan Trachtenberg and Albert Bergesen, journalist Garry Wills, and critic Hilton Kramer. Shomette's judicious introduction summarizes these fifty-four pieces as well as other notable critical reactions not reprinted. Also included is a chronology of important events in Wolfe's career; a bibliography of additional readings; and an index. An informative and entertaining reader and reference book, this work will be engrossing and enlightening to anyone who reads and enjoys Tom Wolfe or who is a student of postmodernism, contemporary literature, and the New Journalism. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19920830, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Shomette, Doug, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 256, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 20, Gewicht: 573, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to William Styron

The Critical Response to William Styron , William Styron has enjoyed a resurgence of popularity with the publication of Darkness Visible (1990), his account of his struggle with near-suicidal depression. His works are known for discussing psychological conflicts within families, religious doubt, existentialism, racial tension, and the role of history in fiction. Often compared with William Faulkner, Styron has emerged as one of the most important figures in contemporary American literature and is best known for his continuation of the Southern gothic tradition. Through original essays, reprints of previously published criticism, and excerpts from reviews, this volume traces the critical reception of Styron's writings over the last 40 years. All of Styron's novels are covered, but the majority of the selections focus on his three most important works: Lie Down in Darkness , The Confessions of Nat Turner , and Sophie's Choice . The pieces reflect a variety of critical perspectives, and the introduction overviews significant trends and omissions in Styron criticism. A bibliography lists Styron's writings, along with critical studies of his work. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19951230, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Ross, Daniel W., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 306, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 23, Gewicht: 652, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Ralph Ellison

The Critical Response to Ralph Ellison , Ralph Ellison's literary career began in 1937 with the publication of his review of Waters Edward Turpin's These Low Grounds. Over the next 15 years he published 10 short stories and 37 essays on literary, cultural, and political topics. But when Invisible Man was published in 1952, Ellison received immediate acclaim from a wide variety of critics, scholars, and novelists. While his novel emerged as a major work of African American literature, it also engaged the European literary tradition and influenced an entire generation of post-World War II writers. Ellison is now one of the most studied African American writers, and the posthumous publication of his second novel, Juneteenth, in 1999 has drawn even more attention to his contribution. Through previously published reviews and essays, and original material, this book charts the response to Ellison's writings. While the bulk of the volume focuses on Invisible Man, the book also includes sections devoted to Ellison's short fiction and nonfiction, as well as posthumous estimates of his work. A chronology highlights the most important events in his life and career, while an introductory essay overviews the broad trends in Ellison scholarship. The volume concludes with a selected bibliography of primary and secondary works. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 20000430, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Butler, Robert J., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 292, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 22, Gewicht: 630, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Gertrude Stein

The Critical Response to Gertrude Stein , From her early classic Three Lives to her best-selling Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas to Brewsie and Willie, a loving tribute to the G.I.s who adored her, Gertrude Stein's work was among the most controversial of the modernist movement. Alternately praised and derided, emulated and ridiculed, Stein was as unique a celebrity as the mass media of the early 20th century ever produced. As her influence spread through the lost generation she nurtured, critics from Edmund Wilson to confidant Carl Van Vechten defended her experimentation against the slings and arrows of the literary establishment. At the same time, Stein found herself parodied and caricatured from the pages of the New York Sun to the New Yorker. Her reputation solidified only after her 1946 death from cancer prompted a series of reminiscences and reestimations from the Chicago Tribune to the Saturday Review. While previous collections of Stein criticism typically reprint commentary by her most ardent supporters, this study reconstructs her precarious position in the eyes of American newspaper and magazine columnists and is thus a guide to her critical reception. While including quintessential pieces on Stein by Carl Van Vechten, William Carlos Williams, and Katherine Anne Porter, this collection also includes previously obscure estimations from contemporaries such as H. L. Mencken, Mina Loy, and Conrad Aiken. The book borrows from a range of sources-from leading literary outlets such as the New Yorker to a number of regional newspapers. Some 75% of the material in the volume has never before been reprinted. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 20000430, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Curnutt, Kirk, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 396, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Gender Studies: Frauen und Mädchen, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 28, Gewicht: 794, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to H.G. Wells

The Critical Response to H.G. Wells , H. G. Wells was one of the most influential authors of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best remembered today as the author of classic works of science fiction, such as The Invisible Man , The War of the Worlds , and The First Men in the Moon . He was also the author of The Outline of World History , an ambitious chronicle of the world from antiquity to the beginning of the 20th century. Through essays and reviews, this volume traces the critical reception of his works. An introductory essay overviews Wells's literary career and provides a context for understanding his works. Each of the sections that follow treats one of his major works, according to the publication date of his story. Within each section are reviews, essays, or excerpts that exemplify the critical response to that particular work from the time of its appearance to the present day. A bibliography at the end of the volume lists the most important modern critical studies of Wells and indicates the tremendous contemporary interest in Wells as an author. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19950228, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Scheick, William J., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 254, Fachkategorie: Science-Fiction~Fantasyliteratur, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literaturwissenschaft: Prosa, Erzählung, Roman, Autoren, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 20, Gewicht: 570, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Samuel Beckett

The Critical Response to Samuel Beckett , Best known as the author of Waiting for Godot , Samuel Beckett was one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1969, and his works have secured him a lasting place in the literary canon. The critical response to his fiction has been overwhelming. Numerous books and thousands of articles have been published on Beckett, primarily in Europe, the United States, and Canada. Since he wrote most of his works in French, and then translated them himself into English, critics responded to different versions of his works. This reference book documents the critical response to Beckett from his earliest prose and poetry to the public reaction to his death in 1989. Reviews and scholarly articles representing the response to Beckett's creative works are included. Selections are arranged chronologically, so that the reader may trace the reception of Beckett's works over time. An introduction summarizes Beckett's enormous contribution to literature, and a bibliography lists works for further reading. Winner of the 1969 Nobel Prize for literature, Irish-born author Samuel Beckett earned a solid reputation for being one of the most important authors of the 20th century. Best known as the author of Waiting for Godot , Beckett wrote other dramatic works, such as Endgame and Krapp's Last Tape . He wrote several novels, including Molloy , Malone Dies , and The Unnamable , and a number of poems and short stories. His innovative approach to language, character, plot, and narrative style was appreciated but sometimes criticized, and his nontraditional concepts of time and space taught readers to approach literature in a new way. Though he experimented with literary forms, his works are within the 20th century intellectual tradition of alienation, isolation, and pessimism. Through essays and reviews, this reference book documents the critical response to Beckett's poetry, fiction, and drama from his earliest works to the public reaction to his death in 1989. Because Beckett often wrote in French and then translated his works into English, scholars responded to several versions of the same work. Because Beckett also had an exceptional knowledge of world literature, philosophy, mathematics, and the sciences, his works are dense with meaning and have invited a broad range of critical approaches. This reference is divided into several sections that roughly correspond with the different genres Beckett utilized. Within each section, reviews and seminal articles are arranged chronologically, so that the reader may trace the response to Beckett over time. An introductory essay discusses the overall response to Beckett, and a bibliography lists works for further reading. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19980630, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Andonian, Cathleen Culotta, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 450, Style: Renaissance, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literaturwissenschaft: Nachschlagewerke, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 31, Gewicht: 879, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to John Cheever

The Critical Response to John Cheever , Bosha collects major, representative criticism of John Cheever's fiction, and his posthumously published Letters and Journals, from the earliest reviews of 1943, through to the present. The volume provides a clear and comprehensive assessment of Cheever's critical reputation both during his lifetime, as each of his books was published and reviewed, and retrospectively, by academics and literary historians who have sought to place Cheever's work in a larger literary context. In addition to several new essays written specifically for this volume, this book publishes, for the first time, a long interview which John Cheever gave less than a year before his death. This interview, according to Prof. Robert G. Collins, who conducted it, is almost certainly the last to be publicly heard. The book begins with a critical introductory essay that traces the dominant themes and patterns in Cheever criticism and comments on the critical reception of his work over the last five decades. A chronology highlights the chief events in Cheever's life and career. The chapters that follow are arranged chronologically, with each chapter devoted to one of Cheever's works. Within each chapter are selections of criticism. The book concludes with a bibliography and index. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19931130, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Bosha, Francis J., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 354, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Breite: 161, Höhe: 24, Gewicht: 698, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Ann Beattie

The Critical Response to Ann Beattie , Acknowledged as an original and important voice in American letters, Ann Beattie published her first short story at age twenty-five in 1972. Four years later, she issued her first short-story collection and first novel concurrently. This volume brings together book reviews, criticism, interviews, biographical materials, and bibliography spanning the entire corpus of Beattie's fiction to date---five short-story collections and four novels published through 1991. The editor's introduction analyzes the various critical stances, both positive and negative, informed also by her own 1992 interview with Beattie, which appears as the final selection. Newly commissioned essays supplement the reviews, articles, and earlier interviews to bring a wide range of contemporary theory to bear on the fiction. An extensive primary and secondary bibliography complete the work. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19930830, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Montresor, Jaye Berman, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 294, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 22, Gewicht: 633, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Anais Nin

The Critical Response to Anais Nin , Best known for her diary, Anais Nin was also the author of several novels, short fiction, and a book on D.H. Lawrence. As a woman who made a career of her aesthetic femininity, her works helped shape the future of gender studies and feminist literary criticism. Her writings have challenged numerous critics, while her life has been equally fascinating. The selections in this book represent the critical response to her works, from her first efforts in the 1930s to the posthumous publication of unexpurgated diary volumes beginning in 1986, including the views of major biographers and contemporary critics. Born in France in 1903, Anais Nin spent her life in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles, where she died in 1977. Like the chaotic passages of her life, her writings have not easily fallen into neat categories. Though she published several novels, short fiction, and erotica, she is best known for her enormous and captivating diary, which sometimes commanded more attention in unpublished form than her published fiction did. As a woman writer who made a career of her aesthetic femininity, her works helped shape the future of gender studies and feminist literary criticism. The selections in this volume trace the critical response to Nin's works from the 1930s to the present. Though Nin died nearly 20 years ago, the posthumous publication of several of her works, including three unexpurgated diary volumes, has prompted renewed critical attention, including two major biographical studies. Because biographical concerns dominate critical studies, this book contains not only sections on her work in general, her short fiction, and her novels, but also special sections on her monumental diary and on her public and private selves. Within each section, critical articles and reviews are reprinted chronologically, so that the reader may trace the response to Nin over time. A bibliography lists works for further consultation, and an introductory essay explores the direction of critical attention to her writings. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19960730, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Jason, Philip K., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 294, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 22, Gewicht: 633, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Critical Response to Ishmael Reed

The Critical Response to Ishmael Reed , Ishmael Reed has emerged as one of the most innovative and controversial novelists in contemporary African American literature. By focusing on his nine published novels, this volume charts the critical response to his works over time. The book is organized by decade, with each section containing book reviews and articles. Beginning with material from the 1960s, it explores Reed's concern with artistic freedom and examines the evolution of his Neo-HooDoo aesthetic, which combines satire and parody, comedy and fantasy, African and African American religion, and myth, history, film, and other forms of popular culture. It celebrates and at times criticizes how Reed's fiction defies popular academic conceptions of what American writers, particularly black American writers, ought to be. The book also includes a substantial introduction, a transcript of a recent conversation in which Reed discusses his novels in progress, and an extensive bibliography. Since the publication of his first novel, The Free-Lance Pallbearers, in 1967, Ishmael Reed has emerged as one of the most innovative and controversial African American writers. Despite his belief that he and other black male artists have been misrepresented and virtually ignored in the press, he has received more critical attention than almost any other contemporary African American male author. The majority of this criticism has studied Reed's literary innovations and what he once called his Neo-HooDoo aesthetic, which draws on satire and parody, comedy and fantasy, African and African American religion, and myth, history, film, and various other elements of popular culture. Since the 1970s, many articles and reviews have looked at his commitment to multiculturalism, while others have examined his views on gender and how they help define his position in the literary world. This volume chronicles the critical response to Reed's works. Organized by decades, the book centers primarily on Reed's nine published novels. It contains book reviews and essays devoted to these novels, as well as a recent interview in which Reed discusses his works in progress, including Making a Killing, a novel about the O.J. Simpson trial. While Reed has attained success as a poet and social critic, his novels continue to attract most of the attention. These include a science fiction fantasy, a western, two mysteries, a neo-slave narrative, two political parodies, a trickster tale about contemporary race and gender issues, and a satire on modern academia. The reaction to his works varies from ridicule and condemnation to respect and high praise. A substantial introduction overviews the response to his works, and a chronology lists the major events in his life and career. The volume concludes with extensive bibliographical information. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 19990228, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Redaktion: Dick, Bruce~Zemliansky, Pavel, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 304, Region: Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika, USA, Warengruppe: HC/Belletristik/Lyrik/Dramatik/Essays, Fachkategorie: Literatur: Geschichte und Kritik, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 240, Breite: 161, Höhe: 21, Gewicht: 624, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.
