Rethinking British Romantic History, 1770-1845 / Porscha Fermanis

Public ISBD Titre : Rethinking British Romantic History, 1770-1845 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Porscha Fermanis, Auteur ; John Regan, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 333 p. Format : 21.59 x 14.48 x 2.79 centimetres (0.55 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-968708-4 Note générale : Historians and literary scholars tend to agree that British intellectual culture underwent a fundamental transformation between 1770 and 1845. Yet they are unusually divided about the nature of that transformation and whether it is best understood as an epistemic rupture from, or a continuous dialogue with, the long eighteenth century. Rethinking British Romantic History, 1770-1845 rethinks the ways in which we understand the historical writing and the historical consciousness of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain by arguing that British historicism developed largely in quasi and para-historical genres such as memoir, biography, verse, fiction, and painting, rather than in works of 'real' history. In a number of inter-related essays on changing generic forms, styles, methods, and standards, the collection demonstrates that the aesthetic developments associated with British literary 'Romanticism' not only intersected in mutually dependent ways with concurrent experiments and innovations in historical writing, but that these intersections forced an epistemological crisis-a deeply felt tension about the role of feeling and imagination in historical writing-that is still resonating in historiographical debates today. In exploring this theme, the volume also seeks to consider wider questions about the philosophy of history and literature, including questions of truth, evidence, professionalization, disciplinary strategies, and methodology. At its heart is the idea that literary texts and other artistic representations of history can have historical value, and should therefore be taken seriously by practitioners of history in all its forms.

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.
