Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

In the first critical study wholly devoted to Joseph Conrad's use of techniques associated with the literary tradition of romance the author argues that Conrad's engagement with the genre invigorated his work throughout his career. Exploring the ways in which Conrad borrows from alludes to and subverts the tropes of romance the author suggests that Conrad's ambivalent relationship with popular forms like the adventure novel is revealed in the way he uses romance conventions to disrupt narrative expectations and make visible ethical problems with Europe's colonial project. The author examines not only familiar novels like Lord Jim but also less-studied works such as Romance and The Rover using Robert Miles's model of the 'philosophical romance' to show that for Conrad romance is also philosophically engaged with issues of ideology. Her study enables a new appreciation of the ways in which Conrad continued to experiment even in his later fiction and of the ethical import of that aesthetic experimentation. | Joseph Conrad and the Swan Song of Romance

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Joseph Conrad is famous for being an unusual strange and even eccentric English writer. However despite his difference English criticism has primarily interpreted his fiction from the perspective of the English culture. In turn Polish criticism has portrayed Conrad as a Pole who happened to write in English. Considering Conrad’s transcultural background neither exclusively English nor an exclusively Polish writer this volume investigates the essential features of his expatriate writing as a form distinctly different from any writing done within a single culture. Conrad's unique contribution to English literature and sensibility stems from his ability to incorporate the complexity of the exilic condition without discussing it explicitly. Furthermore this book establishes Conrad's expatriation archetypes and examines them as they manifest themselves not only in a realistic but more importantly in a symbolic mode. Those archetypal features demonstrate themselves through Conrad’s thematic choices narrative structure and critical discourse that reflect his complex relationship with both the parent and the adopted reader. While the existence of these patterns in Conrad's fiction are not entirely obvious this book aims to illuminate Conrad’s contributions to the current critical debate concerning the place of the author in his/her own narrative. | Exile as a Continuum in Joseph Conrad’s Fiction Living in Translation

Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

Emphasizing the diversity of twentieth-century collage practices Rona Cran's book explores the role that it played in the work of Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O'Hara and Bob Dylan. For all four collage was an important creative catalyst employed cathartically aggressively and experimentally. Collage's catalytic effect Cran argues enabled each to overcome a potentially destabilizing crisis in representation. Cornell convinced that he was an artist and yet hampered by his inability to draw or paint used collage to gain access to the art world and to show what he was capable of given the right medium. Burroughs' formal problems with linear composition were turned to his advantage by collage which enabled him to move beyond narrative and chronological requirement. O'Hara used collage to navigate an effective path between plastic art and literature and to choose the facets of each which best suited his compositional style. Bob Dylan's self-conscious application of collage techniques elevated his brand of rock-and-roll to a level of heightened aestheticism. Throughout her book Cran shows that to delineate collage stringently as one thing or another is to severely limit our understanding of the work of the artists and writers who came to use it in non-traditional ways. | Collage in Twentieth-Century Art Literature and Culture Joseph Cornell William Burroughs Frank O’Hara and Bob Dylan

Gulliver in the Land of Giants A Critical Biography and the Memoirs of the Celebrated Dwarf Joseph Boruwlaski

Gulliver in the Land of Giants A Critical Biography and the Memoirs of the Celebrated Dwarf Joseph Boruwlaski

J³zef Boruwlaski was the most famous dwarf of the Enlightenment age. Polish-born he travelled extensively throughout Europe appearing and performing at royal courts and salons before settling in Durham in his later life until his death at the age of 97. He was described in Diderot's Encyclopédie and the press of his day - both on the continent and in the UK - sustained an interest in him and kept tabs on his life and experiences. His memoirs published in a bilingual (French and English) version in 1788 show him to have been an intelligent and sharp observer of the world he inhabited. The life story of this miniature gentleman is not only highly interesting in its own right but also offers a new perspective on the culture of the Enlightenment. Through a meticulous survey of source materials in Poland France and the United Kingdom the author has managed to unearth and reconstruct many heretofore unknown details about Boruwlaski's life and adventures about his travels first on the continent and then in the United Kingdom. It is not typical biography but rather an attempt at identifying certain social roles that were imposed upon Boruwlaski: a plaything of the salons a source of entertainment for the masses an adventurist against his own wishes. At the same time his story is that of a man who spent his whole life trying to escape from such roles imposed upon him. Boruwlaski's memoirs are included in full containing many of the letters he sent to his wife with critical annotation. The author also investigates for the first time the sizeable differences between the many different versions of the memoirs published during his own lifetime. This monograph offers not only an opportunity to rediscover the fascinating life story of an intriguing man but also gives a unique point of view on Europe's uppermost elite in the Enlightenment age - as people who remained deeply fascinated with deformities and oddities despite their own self-professed 'refined' tastes. | Gulliver in the Land of Giants A Critical Biography and the Memoirs of the Celebrated Dwarf Joseph Boruwlaski

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Bringing together ten utopian works that mark important points in the history and an evolution in social and political philosophies this book not only reflects on the texts and their political philosophy and implications but also their architecture and how that architecture informs the political philosophy or social agenda that the author intended. Each of the ten authors expressed their theory through concepts of community and utopian architecture but each featured an architectural solution at the centre of their social and political philosophy as none of the cities were ever built they have remained as utopian literature. Some of the works examined are very well-known such as Tommaso Campanella’s Civitas Solis while others such as Joseph Michael Gandy’s Designs for Cottages are relatively obscure. However even with the best known works this volume offers new insights by focusing on the architecture of the cities and how that architecture represents the author’s political philosophy. It reconstructs the cities through a 3-D computer program ArchiCAD using Artlantis to render. Plans sections elevations and perspectives are presented for each of the cities. The ten cities are: Filarete - Sforzina; Albrecht D¼rer - Fortified Utopia; Tommaso Campanella - The City of the Sun; Johann Valentin Andreae - Christianopolis; Joseph Michael Gandy - An Agricultural Village; Robert Owen - Villages of Unity and Cooperation; James Silk Buckingham - Victoria; Robert Pemberton - Queen Victoria Town; King Camp Gillette - Metropolis; and Bradford Peck - The World a Department Store. Each chapter considers the work in conjunction with contemporary thought the political philosophy and the reconstruction of the city. Although these ten cities represent over 500 years of utopian and political thought they are an interlinked thread that had been drawn from literature of the past and informed by contemporary thought and society. The book is structured in two parts: | Unbuilt Utopian Cities 1460 to 1900: Reconstructing their Architecture and Political Philosophy

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Volume two explores the way a wide range of classic princess tales written by marginalized writers. Rapunzel and Snow White with their pale skin or long ropes of golden hair are particularly popular vehicles for exploring and challenging racialized constructions of beauty. Marriage is the traditional vehicle of a happy ending in Princess tales so marginalized responses to these tales also inherently respond to the doubly colonized position of women in the Anglophone world. The institution of marriage typically exposes the institutional oppression of colonized women. Authors include Charles Chesnutt Jessie Fauset Julia Kavanaugh George Edwards some of the unpublished manuscripts of Jewish-Australian author Joseph Jacobs and the earliest work of Sinèad de Valera as well as fin-de-siècle illustrators such as Harry Clarke and collected oral tales. | Fairy-Tale Revivals in the Long Nineteenth Century Volume II: Fairy- Tale Revival Dramas: Writing Wonder in Transatlantic Ethnic Literary Re

Fiction & the Colonial Experience

Fiction & the Colonial Experience

British colonialism provided a rich vein of material for the novelists of the first half of the 20th century. This study originally published in 1968 looks at five writers and their reaction to the Empire: Rudyard Kipling E. M. Forster Joseph Conrad Joyce Cary and Graham Greene. It shows how the romantic adventure stories of Kipling’s early days in which the indigenous population plays almost no part gave rise to the much more important novels of spiritual and moral conflict in which the stereotyped values of Empire are questioned. The decline of colonialism from its apogee in the 1880s within a relatively short period makes the novels discussed a compact group so that not only is the use of colonial material closely studied but its impact on the novelists themselves emerges clearly. This is an important study of a major literary theme linking modern literature and modern history at a vital point. | Fiction & the Colonial Experience

Common Faith Education Spirituality and the State

Common Faith Education Spirituality and the State

Published in 1998 this book provides a much needed philosophical analysis of the political and educational issues that are raised when spiritual development is regarded as a central educational aim. The author examines the meaning of spirituality in the educational context and provides a suitable educational characterization following a detailed critique of certain ideas put forward by John Dewey Alistair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor. In the second part of the book the author examines various attempts to derive policies concerning the personal education of pupils from cultural and political claims. The educational implications of a wide range of political perspectives are explored including those of liberalism communitarianism conservatizm and pluralism. Particular attention is given to the constraints imposed on educationalists by the liberalisms of John Rawls and Joseph Raz and in the final part the author questions whether any nationally common conception of spiritual education is either educationally adequate or politically acceptable. | Common Faith Education Spirituality and the State

The Uses of Obscurity The Fiction of Early Modernism

The Uses of Obscurity The Fiction of Early Modernism

Originally published in 1981 this book examines why and how textual difficulty became a norm of modernist literature and questions how we can begin to account for the forms of obscurity and difficulty which developed in the late 19th Century and which became so important to modernism. The author argues that the decline of realism entailed the growth of ‘symptomatic’ or ‘subtextual’ reading which tended to treat fiction as compromised autobiography. This kind of reading left the author dangerously isolated and exposed in the midst of a newly sophisticated public. Within this general cultural perspective the book traces the private anxieties that led George Meredith Joseph Conrad and Henry James to conceal themselves within their complex and resistant fictions. It discusses opacity in the texts themselves – embarrassment and shame in Meredith; ‘engimas’ in Conrad; and the fear of vulgarity and knowledge in Henry James. | The Uses of Obscurity The Fiction of Early Modernism
