简介：A balanced selection of classic and contemporary works by prominent and less-well-known writers. From Joyce, Hemingway, O'Connor, Auden, Stevens, Dickinson, Faulkner, Hawthorne, and Whitman, to Sharon Olds, Nicholson Baker, Carolyn Forché, Paul Ruffin, Salman Rushdie, Agha Shahid Ali, Eamon Grennan, Linda Pastan, Li-Young Lee, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Simon Ortiz, Seamus Heaney, Karen Volkman, and David Ives. "Exploring Contexts" chapters provide a window into the broader literary world by placing the stories, poems, and plays in contextual groups, literary, authorial, cultural, historical, and social, illuminating connections among texts and the influences that shape them. "Critical Context" Casebooks, a new feature, serve as capstone chapters for each genre. Each includes one primary literary work followed by several professional critical responses, allowing students to explore one work in depth and to develop and expand their reading and analytical skills as they prepare to write about what they've read. Two student papers, one, a personal response essay, and the other, a research paper, round out the fiction casebook. Reading, Responding, Writing chapters introduce students to a genre and ways of exploring and writing about it. Understanding the Text chapters within each genre cover the elements of literature, providing students with the tools they need to consider various works. Evaluating chapters strengthen students' critical skills by guiding them in the difficult task of evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of literary works. A Reading More section offers an album of pieces for further reading. New Fiction Chapter: "Cultural and Historical Context" This new chapter focuses on F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Babylon Revisited" and discusses the historical events and cultural climate that provided the backdrop for Fitzgerald's fiction. No other anthology offers so deep a contextual analysis. New Drama Chapter: "The Author's Work as Context: William Shakespeare" Pushing students beyond their natural curiosity about Shakespeare's life, this new chapter calls attention to stylistic and thematic currents running through Shakespeare's work and encourages students to read Shakespeare actively and critically. Evaluation Chapters Revised "Evaluating" (fiction, poetry, drama) chapters have been reconceived to guide students toward determining and declaring the basis on which they are making their evaluative judgments. New Introduction: "What is Literature?" Alison Booth's insightful introduction discusses questions concerning the nature of "literature," the value of reading and writing about it, and the history of "the canon." New Selections Fourteen new stories, seventy-six new poems, and four new plays offer an unbeatable selection of both classic and contemporary works. Among the new selections are pieces by Carol Shields, Jhumpa Lahiri, Stephen Crane, Billy Collins, Lorrie Moore, James Joyce, Eavan Boland, Thom Gunn, Andrew Hudgins, Jorie Graham, Gail Mazur, August Wilson, Lillian Hellman, Paula Vogel.

Power, plain English, and the rise of modern poetry /

作者：  David Rosen.

出版社：

简介："In this book David Rosen offers a new account of Modern poetry and revises our understanding of its relation to Romanticism. British poets from Wordsworth to Auden attempted to present themselves simultaneously as persons of power and as moral voices in their communities. The modern lyric derives its characteristic complexities - psychological, ethical, formal - from the extraordinary difficulty of this effort." "The low register of our language - a register of short, concrete, native words arranged together in simple syntax - is deeply implicated in this story. Rosen shows how the peculiar reputation of "plain English" for truthfulness is employed by Modern poets to conceal the rift between their (probably irreconcilable) ambitions for themselves." "With a deep appreciation for poetic accomplishment and a wonderful iconoclasm, Rosen sheds new light on the innovative as well as the self-deceptive aspects of Modern poetry. This book alters our understanding of the history of poetry in the English language."--BOOK JACKET

简介：W. H. Auden's first ten years in the United States were marked by rapid and extensive change in his life and thought. He became an American citizen, fell in love with Chester Kallman, and began to reflect on American culture and to explore the ideas of Reinhold Niebuhr and other Protestant theologians. This volume contains every piece of prose that Auden wrote during these years, including essays and reviews he published under pseudonyms. Most have never been reprinted in any form since their initial publication in such magazines and newspapers as the Nation , the New Republic , Common Sense , Vogue , and the New York Times . Auden's prose during this period is frequently directly autobiographical even as he comments on literature, psychology, politics, and religion. The writings range from a dialogue about W. B. Yeats through a respectful parody of Gertrude Stein to Jamesian essays on Henry James. They also include lively and often profound responses to ancient and modern history as well as to contemporary issues in politics and religion. Other highlights include writings on opera and poetry as well as reports of Auden's lectures and the text of an unfinished autobiographical book, The Prolific and the Devourer . Throughout, Edward Mendelson's extensive and illuminating editor's notes explain all contemporary and private allusions. By making available a large cache of important but previously difficult-to-obtain writings on key subjects, this volume will be of obvious appeal to Auden's legions of admirers. It will also be enjoyed by everyone interested in twentieth-century literature, religion, and culture.

简介：     在线阅读本书          The Lord of the Rings, J.R.R. Tolkien's three-volume epic, is set in the imaginary world of Middle-earth -- home to many strange beings, and most notably hobbits, a peace-loving "little people," cheerful and shy. Since its original British publication in 1954-55, the saga has entranced readers of all ages. It is at once a classic myth and a modern fairy tale. Critic Michael Straight has hailed it as one of the "very few works of genius in recent literature." Middle-earth is a world receptive to poets, scholars, children, and all other people of good will. Donald Barr has described it as "a scrubbed morning world, and a ringing nightmare world...especially sunlit, and shadowed by perils very fundamental, of a peculiarly uncompounded darkness." The story of this world is one of high and heroic adventure. Barr compared it to Beowulf, C.S. Lewis to Orlando Furioso, W.H. Auden to The Thirty-nine Steps. In fact the saga is sui generis -- a triumph of imagination which springs to life within its own framework and on its own terms. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Promising genomics : Iceland and deCODE Genetics in a world of speculation /

作者：  Mike Fortun.

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Part detective story, part expos茅, and part travelogue, Promising Genomics investigates one of the signature biotech stories of our time and, in so doing, opens a window onto the high-speed, high-tech, and high-finance world of genome science. In a luminous account, Mike Fortun investigates how deCODE Genetics, in Iceland, became one of the wealthiest companies of its kind, as well as one of the most scandalous, with its plan to use the genes and medical records of the entire Icelandic population for scientific research. Delving into the poetry of W. H. Auden, the novels of Halld贸r Laxness, and the perils of Keiko the killer whale, Fortun maps the contemporary genomics landscape at a time when we must begin to ask questions about what "life" is made of in the age of DNA, databases, and derivatives trading.  

A transnational poetics /

作者：  Jahan Ramazani.

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 Poetry is often viewed as culturally homogeneous鈥斺渟tubbornly national,鈥?in T. S. Eliot's phrase, or 鈥渢he most provincial of the arts,鈥?according to W. H. Auden. But in ATransnational Poetics, Jahan Ramazani uncovers the ocean-straddling energies of the poetic imagination鈥攊n modernism and the Harlem Renaissance; in post鈥揥orld War II North America and the North Atlantic; and in ethnic American, postcolonial, and black British writing. Cross-cultural exchange and influence are, he argues, among the chief engines of poetic development in the twentieth- and twenty-first centuries.聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽 Reexamining the work of a wide array of poets, from Eliot, Yeats, and Langston Hughes to Elizabeth Bishop, Lorna Goodison, and Agha Shahid Ali, Ramazani reveals the many ways in which modern and contemporary poetry in English overflows national borders and exceeds the scope of national literary paradigms. Through a variety of transnational templates鈥攇lobalization, migration, travel, genre, influence, modernity, decolonization, and diaspora鈥攈e discovers poetic connection and dialogue across nations and even hemispheres. Exceptionally wide-ranging in scope yet rigorously focused on particulars, A Transnational Poetics demonstrates how poetic analysis can foster an aesthetically attuned transnational literary criticism that is at the same time alert to modernity's global condition.  

Reflections on literature and culture /

作者：  Hannah Arendt ; edited and with an Introduction by Susannah Young-ah Gottlieb.

出版社：

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 As one of the foremost public intellectuals of the twentieth century, Hannah Arendt is well known for her writings on political philosophy. Less familiar are her significant contributions to cultural and literary criticism. This edition brings together for the first time Arendt's reflections on literature and culture. The essays include previously unpublished and untranslated material drawn from half a century of engagement with the works of European and American authors, poets, journalists, and literary critics, including such diverse figures as Proust, Melville, Auden, and Brecht. Intended for a wide readership, this volume has the potential to change our view of Arendt by introducing her not only as one of the leading political theorists of her generation, but also as a serious, committed, and highly original literary and cultural critic. Gottlieb's introduction ties the work together, showing how Arendt developed a form of literary and cultural analysis that is entirely her own.   Publisher Summary 2 This is the first volume in any language that collects Hannah Arendt's remarkable series of essays and notes on literary figures and cultural questions.

菲奥娜感觉自己似乎从这个世界中抽离了。窗外海浪的声音全消失了，周围安静了下来，唯有那句话在她脑子里不断回响着。妈妈……还活着。几百个问题从菲奥娜的心底涌了出来，她都不知该先问哪个了。她张开嘴，刚要说句什么时，爸爸把手搭在了她的手臂上。“我去泡壶茶。”他说。“茶？”菲奥娜呆呆地重复着。“我们先喝杯茶，之后再慢慢细说。”房间里只剩下菲奥娜一个人了。这几个星期以来，她没有一刻像现在这样孤单过。她发现，爸爸出去时拿上了海豹皮披风。要是爸爸永远也不把披风还给她，她该怎么办呢？菲奥娜摇了摇头，在心里骂了自己一句：别老是往坏处想了。她的视线移到了一沓照片上。她闯进来时，爸爸正在看这些照片。照片摆得随处都是，写字桌上、床单上，连地上都有。菲奥娜跪下把它们一张张捡起。这张是小时候妈妈给菲奥娜讲故事的；这张是婚礼时拍的，爸爸正把一小块蛋糕放到妈妈嘴里，妈妈开心地笑着；这张是妈妈坐在大岩石上，深情地凝视着海洋。第三张照片使菲奥娜心中“咯噔”一下，一屁股坐到床边看了又看。每当菲奥娜想一个人静静地待会儿时，她*爱去这块叫作“巨胖”的大岩石那儿。自从她有记忆以来，一直都是这样。她曾经有多少次，像妈妈一般坐在“巨胖”身上，无限渴望地凝视着大海。她万万想不到，这一切的背后竟然藏着这么大的秘密。从小到大，她对大海的好奇，还有无尽的忧愁，原来都是从海豹皮披风遗失之后开始的。菲奥娜霍地站起来，把照片一一收起，整齐地放进旧鞋盒里。她有一肚子的疑问，现在是时候得到答案了。她向厨房走去，看到爸爸正坐在餐桌前等着自己。他的表情有些不自然，看到菲奥娜后，用力挤出一个笑容。爸爸一向是这样，把消极的情绪藏起来。菲奥娜回想起这些年来，他在自己面前不但要做父亲，还要扮演母亲的角色。“是你喜欢的口味。”爸爸把蓝色的杯子推到她面前。菲奥娜啜了一小口，糖很多，乳酪很浓。一杯暖茶，抚慰一下心灵，正是此时的她需要的。“那些照片……”爸爸伸手去拿菲奥娜放在餐桌上的盒子，“我常常想着，到了某一天就给你看这些照片。你有什么问题，就尽管问吧。我保证把知道的全都告诉你。”菲奥娜张了张嘴，却又合上，几次三番后终于开口说道：“我不知该从哪儿问起。”“我理解你的心情。”爸爸说，“那我就……从头说起吧。”爸爸从盒子里翻找出了一张照片，看着这张照片，他整张脸都亮了。“我是在新布莱顿市盖尔人传统文化节上认识你妈妈的。”他把照片递给菲奥娜。菲奥娜凝视着照片。照片里的妈妈正站在麦克风前，头戴蓝色野花做成的花环，红色的发丝在阳光下闪闪发亮。“那时我还在研究生院就读。”爸爸继续说，“没人在乎古代盖尔人的故事和传说，我决心要改变这种情况，于是办了本小杂志，介绍那些宣传世界文化的本地艺术家。这本杂志就跟我研究的课题一样，一点儿也不受人待见。”回忆起这件往事，爸爸咯咯地笑了起来。“那天的文化节，我到处闲逛，在一个帐篷前停了下来。你妈妈烈娜当时就站在那儿，她说了个海豹人女王凯莉的故事，把听众都迷住了。老实说，这之前我从没爱上过别人，心中都已经开始怀疑，世上并不存在爱情这回事了。”菲奥娜忍住不笑出来。爸爸是个教授，他太理性了，感性的那一面常常被压制住。“妈妈改变了你的想法？”她问。“我对她一见钟情。”爸爸的笑容里带着些许忧伤。“妈妈也一眼就爱上你了吗？”“没错，就是这么不可思议。”爸爸说，“到现在，我都不敢相信。烈娜的故事一讲完，我们的眼神就交织在一起，刹那间碰撞出了火花。从此以后，我们成了形影不离的一对儿。”他拿出另一张照片，照片中的他跟妈妈挽着手臂，在海滩上散步。“我从没见过像烈娜这样的女孩。”爸爸继续说，“她从头到脚都散发着自由的气息，甚至有点儿奔放不羁。无论什么事，她都跟随自己的心走。她给我的生命带来了鲜亮的色彩。谁能想得到，你妈妈会爱上我，爱上一个跟她完全相反、困在学术研究里的人呢？也就是在那时我发觉，没有她我的人生就是残缺不全的。也许是受她‘跟着感觉走’的个性所影响吧，只是认识了区区几个月，我就向她求婚了。”“听着就像是个童话呢。”菲奥娜说。“是像童话，”爸爸说，“那时候我们确实就像童话里的王子和公主一般。但不幸的是，烈娜跟我却注定没有幸福的结局。总之，不是我们所期望的那样。”恐惧的感觉忽然漫上菲奥娜的心头。她又啜了口茶，然后问道：“后来发生了什么事情？”倘若她不是老早就想知道其中的原因，此时她可能没有勇气提出这个问题。“结婚几个月后的一天，我在半夜醒来了。直到今天我也不知道，那晚怎么就不安成那个样子，总之心里有种感觉，有什么事情要发生。我发现你妈妈去了海滩，”爸爸说，“她赤着脚，浑身发抖，脸色就像倒映在水中的月亮一般苍白。潮湿的海滩上出现了一条深沟，这都是她来来回回踩出来的。”“她出什么事了？”菲奥娜问。“她什么事也没有。”爸爸字斟句酌地说，“你妈妈发现自己怀上了你，菲奥娜。她清楚地知道这意味着什么，也知道未来的一切将会因此变得不同。”

简介：Gottlieb (English and comparative literary studies, Northwestern U.) gathers together into one volume most of the writings on literature and culture produced by celebrated political theorist and philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), all of which, Gottlieb contends, converge in varied ways around the problem of "finding the words that would praise the world without imagining that this praise will somehow glorify the poet as well." Most of the essays are either reviews of individual works or retrospective appreciations of other writers, examples including Rainier Maria Rilke, Franz Kafka, Stefan Zweig, Hans Hagen, Herman Broch, Rudyard Kipling, Randall Jarrell, Bertolt Brecht, W.H. Auden, and Isak Dinesen. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

简介：'This volume restores Auden to us complete and unrevised... The reader recaptures the excitement of a young poet who struck readers first by the austere saga-like strangeness of his poetry, and then by his intoxication with disruptive, uninhibited ideas. The English Auden is the resurrection of the body of the poetry as it existed in England between 1927 and 1939.'-Stephen Spender, Sunday Telegraph

简介：This is a study of a literary generation writing in a period of expanding fears and ever more urgent political and social crises. The pace of the time itself, the sense of time passing and an end approaching gave a special quality to the Thirties. The public world pressed insistently on the private world. For those who came of literary age - Auden, Day Lewis, MacNeice, Spender, Graham Greene, Isherwood and Orwell among them - writing became a form of action. In the process a generation discovered itself and found its own expression.
