Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century / Stéphanie Le Menager

Public ISBD Titre : Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stéphanie Le Menager, Auteur ; Teresa Shewry, Auteur ; Ken Hiltner, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 291p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.3 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-81638-0 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Environmental  Criticism Résumé : Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century showcases the recent explosive expansion of environmental criticism, which is actively transforming three areas of broad interest in contemporary literary and cultural studies: history, scale, and science. With contributors engaging texts from the medieval period through the twenty-first century, the collection brings into focus recent ecocritical concern for the long durations through which environmental imaginations have been shaped. Contributors also address problems of scale, including environmental institutions and imaginations that complicate conventional rubrics such as the national, local, and global. Finally, this collection brings together a set of scholars who are interested in drawing on both the sciences and the humanities in order to find compelling stories for engaging ecological processes such as global climate change, peak oil production, nuclear proliferation, and food scarcity. Environmental Criticism for the Twenty-First Century offers powerful proof that cultural criticism is itself ecologically resilient, evolving to meet the imaginative challenges of twenty-first-century environmental crises.

Shakespeare the Thinker. / A. D. Nuttall

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare the Thinker. : Shakespeare the Thinker. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. D. Nuttall, Auteur Editeur : Yale University Press (Verlag) Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 448 p. Format : 15.5x23.5 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-300-13629-6 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Shakespeare  imagination  language  communicate  historicist  criticism  racist  sexis  thistorical  matrix. Résumé : A. D. Nuttall's study of Shakespeare's intellectual preoccupations is a literary tour de force and comes to crown the distinguished career of a Shakespeare scholar. Certain questions engross Shakespeare from his early plays to the late romances: the nature of motive, cause, personal identity and relation, the proper status of imagination, ethics and subjectivity, language and its capacity to occlude and to communicate. Yet Shakespeare's thought, Nuttall demonstrates, is anything but static. The plays keep returning to, modifying, and complicating his creative preoccupations. Nuttall allows us to hear and appreciate the emergent cathedral choir of play speaking to play. By the later stages of Nuttall's book this choir is nearly overwhelming in its power and dimensions. The author does not limit discussion to moments of crucial intellection but gives himself ample space in which to get at the distinctive essence of each work. Much recent historicist criticism has tended to "flatten" Shakespeare by confining him to the thought-cliches of his time, and this in its turn has led to an implicitly patronizing view of him as unthinkingly racist, sexist, and so on. Nuttall shows us that, on the contrary, Shakespeare proves again and again to be more intelligent and perceptive than his 21st-century readers. This book challenges us to reconsider the relation of great literature to its social and historical matrix. It is also, perhaps, the best guide to Shakespeare's plays available in English.
