  • The Pocket Essential F Scott Fitzgeraldby Richard Shephard

    Pocket Essentials 2006; US$ 7.99

    F Scott Fitzgerald is widely praised as the finest and most celebrated novelist of twentieth century America. His reputation is infinitely more lustrous since his untimely death than it was for much of his twenty-year literary career and is largely based on his 1925 novel, The Great Gatsby, as well as on the colourful and tragic incidents of his personal life. His alcoholism; his fairy tale marriage to the beautiful Zelda Sayre, and her gradual descent into schizophrenia; the incandescent blossoming and dissipation of his literary gifts have all added to his legend. This Pocket Essentials examines both Fitzgerald?s life and writing and probes the infinitely complex and symbiotic relationship between the two, revealing the man behind the... more...

  • Race, Slavery, and Liberalism in Nineteenth-Century American Literatureby Arthur Riss

    Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 30.00

    Moving boldly between literary analysis and political theory, contemporary and antebellum U.S. culture, Arthur Riss invites readers to rethink prevailing accounts of the relationship between slavery, liberalism, and literary representation. This revisionary argument promises to be unsettling for literary critics, political philosophers, and historians of U.S. slavery. more...

  • The Great War and Modern Memoryby Paul Fussell

    Oxford University Press, USA 2000; US$ 13.45

    The year 2000 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of The Great War and Modern Memory, winner of the National Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and recently named by the Modern Library one of the twentieth century's 100 Best Non-Fiction Books. Fussell's landmark study of WWI remains as original and gripping today as ever before: a literate, literary, and illuminating account of the Great War, the one that changed a generation, ushered in the modern era, and revolutionized how we see the world. Exploring the work of Siegfried Sassoon, Robert Graves, Edmund Blunden, David Jones, Isaac Rosenberg, and Wilfred Owen, Fussell supplies contexts, both actual and literary, for those writers who most effectively... more...

  • No Country for Old Menby Lynnea King; Rick Wallach; Jim Welsh

    Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, Inc. 2009; US$ 39.99

    In No Country for Old Men: From Novel to Film, scholars offer varied approaches to both the novel and the award-winning film. Beginning with several essays dedicated entirely to the novel and its place within the McCarthy canon, the anthology offers subsequent essays focusing on the film, the adaptation process, and the Coen Brothers more broadly. The book also features an interview with the Coen brothers' long-time cinematographer Roger Deakins. This entertaining and enriching book for readers interested in the Coen Brothers' films and in McCarthy's fiction is an important contribution to both Literature and Film Studies. more...

  • Poems in Personsby Norman Holland

    Cybereditions 2000; US$ 15.95

    This book gives the study of literature a powerful psychoanalytic model for the literary process.

  • Religion and Hopi Life, Second Editionby John D. Loftin

    Indiana University Press 2003; US$ 12.75

    Religion and Hopi Life tells the story of Hopi religious life in a way that makes sense to both Hopis and outsiders. In his interpretation of Hopi religion, Loftin does not subject religious meaning to secular analysis. While not the Hopi's own story, his account attempts to honor and do justice to the way in which the Hopi embody religious meaning through the living of their lives. more...
