The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories / Leo N. Tolstoy

Public ISBD Titre : The Death of Ivan Ilyich and Other Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Leo N. Tolstoy, Auteur ; Andrew Kahn, Auteur ; Nicolas Pasternak Slater, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2015 Collection : Oxford World's Classics Importance : 256 p. Format : 19.3 x 13.21 x 1.52 centimetres (0.18 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966988-2 Note générale : 'no one pitied him as he would have liked to be pitied' As Ivan Ilyich lies dying he begins to re-evaluate his life, searching for meaning that will make sense of his sufferings. In 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' and the other works in this volume, Tolstoy conjures characters who, tested to the limit, reveal glorious and unexpected reserves of courage or baseness of a near inhuman kind. Two vivid parables and 'The Forged Coupon', a tale of criminality, explore class relations after the emancipation of the serfs in 1861 and the connection between an ethical life and worldly issues. In 'Master and Workman' Tolstoy creates one of his most gripping dramas about human relationships put to the test in an extreme situation. 'The Death of Ivan Ilyich' is an existential masterpiece, a biting satire that recounts with extraordinary power the final illness and death of a bourgeois lawyer. In his Introduction Andrew Kahn explores Tolstoy's moral concerns and the stylistic features of these late stories, sensitively translated by Nicolas Pasternak Slater. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth / Richard Gravil

Public ISBD Titre : The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Richard Gravil, Auteur ; Daniel Robinson, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2015 Collection : Oxford Handbooks ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-966212-8 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : William  Wordsworth. Résumé : The Oxford Handbook of William Wordsworth deploys its forty-eight original essays, by an international team of scholar-critics, to present a stimulating account of Wordsworth's life and achievement and to map new directions in criticism. Nineteen essays explore the highlights of a long career systematically, giving special prominence to the lyric Wordsworth of Lyrical Ballads and the Poems in Two Volumes and to the blank verse poet of 'The Recluse'. Most of the other essays return to the poetry while exploring other dimensions of the life and work of the major Romantic poet. The result is a dialogic exploration of many major texts and problems in Wordsworth scholarship. This uniquely comprehensive handbook is structured so as to present, in turn, Wordsworth's life, career, and networks; aspects of the major lyrical and narrative poetry; components of 'The Recluse'; his poetical inheritance and his transformation of poetics; the variety of intellectual influences upon his work, from classical republican thought to modern science; his shaping of modern culture in such fields as gender, landscape, psychology, ethics, politics, religion and ecology; and his 19th- and 20th-century reception-most importantly by poets, but also in modern criticism and scholarship. Note de contenu : Table of Contents: PART I: LIFE, CAREER, AND NETWORKS ; PART II: POETRY ; PART III: 'THE RECLUSE' ; PART IV: POETS AND POETICS ; PART V: INHERITANCE AND LEGACY ; PART VI: RECEPTION.

Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion / Andrew Delahunty

Public ISBD Titre : Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew Delahunty, Auteur ; Sheila Dignen, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2012 Importance : 416 p. Format : 19.5 x 13 x 2.4 centimetres (0.20 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-956746-1 Note générale : Oxford Quick Reference. Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Reference  Allusion. Résumé : Allusions form a colourful extension to the English language, drawing on our collective knowledge of literature, mythology, and the Bible to give us a literary shorthand for describing people, places, and events. So a cunning crook is an Artful Dodger, a daydreamer is like Billy Liar, a powerful woman is a modern-day Amazon - we can suffer like Sisyphus, fail like Canute, or linger like the smile of the Cheshire Cat. This absorbing and accessible A to Z explains the meanings of allusions in modern English, from Adonis to Zorro, Tartarus to Tarzan, and Rubens to Rambo. Fascinating to browse through, the book is based on an extensive reading programme that has identified the most commonly-used allusions. Now available in paperback, this new edition includes within each entry a short summary definition for the allusion or reference, ideal for quick reference, and at least one illustration citation from a wide range of source materials in almost every entry: from Aldous Huxley to Philip Roth, Emily Bronte to The Guardian Unlimited. A useful thematic index allows searching for allusions related to a specific topic, e.g. under Intelligence find Aristotle, Einstein, and Spock, and under Hair find Medusa, Samson, and Shirley Temple. The Oxford Dictionary of Reference and Allusion is both a useful and user-friendly reference work for students of English Literature and Language, as well as for non-native English speakers for aid with unusual references, and an absorbing volume for all lovers of literature and culture in general.
