Abstract

Examines the legacy of imperialism and decolonisation, globalisation and national identity Graham MacPhee explains how postwar writers blended the experimentalism of prewar modernism with other cultural traditions to represent both the pain and the pleasures of multiculturalism. He discusses a wide range of writers, from Auden, Orwell, T.S. Eliot and Larkin to Linton Kwesi Johnson, Tony Harrison, Kazuo Ishiguro and Ian McEwan.

Abstract

"The 'transnational' turn has transformed modernist studies, challenging Western authority over modernism and positioning race and racial theories at the very centre of how we now understand modern literature. Modernism and Race examines relationships between racial typologies and literature in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, drawing on fin de siecle versions of anthropology, sociology, political science, linguistics and biology. Collectively, these essays interrogate the anxieties and desires that are expressed in, or projected onto, racialized figures. They include new outlines of how the critical field has developed, revaluations of canonical modernist figures like James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Ford Madox Ford and Wyndham Lewis, and accounts of writers often positioned at the margins of modernism, such as Zora Neale Hurston, Claude McKay and the Holocaust writers Solomon Perel and Gisella Perl. This timely collection by leading scholars of modernism will make an important contribution to a growing field"--

Abstract

Postcolonial Travel Writing challenges prevailing notions of travel writing as intrinsically colonial and Eurocentric, exploring the works of writers including Jamaica Kincaid, Caryl Phillips, V. S. Naipaul, Pico Iyer and Jan Morris as rich and fascinating examples of the genre. Featuring original interviews with William Dalrymple and Pankaj Mishra, this exciting collection by internationally recognized scholars in the field offers a comprehensive study of postcolonial travel writing, from literature and memoir to essays and travel histories. The volume stands as an innovative benchmark study of future inquiries into the field, and will spark a much-needed rethinking of this vibrant and volatile genre.

Abstract

Partant de l'idée que la Nouvelle-Angleterre désigne moins une région ou un territoire aux frontières clairement délimitées qu'elle ne figure un projet politique aux formes changeantes, cet ouvrage analyse le rôle prédominant qu'y a joué la littérature, non seulement en tant que production intellectuelle visant à s'émanciper du modèle culturel européen, mais aussi « en tant que littérature ». Du récit de captivité de Mary Rowlandson à Washington Irving, de Ralph Waldo Emerson à Henry David Thoreau, de Nathaniel Hawthorne à Susan Howe en passant par Emily Dickinson ou Henry James : qu'ils examinent les modalités de l'intrication du singulier et de la communauté ou qu'ils interrogent le rôle ambigu que jouent les lettres dans la constitution d'un espace commun, tous les articles s'accordent sur le fait que la littérature induit un rapport inédit au monde. Couvrant un intervalle de près de quatre siècles, ils montrent, chacun à sa manière, que la littérature de Nouvelle-Angleterre est toujours de nature politique, mais aussi, peut-être, que la politique est sans cesse travaillée par des pratiques de langage que la littérature invite à repenser.
