Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Emre’s] intellectual moves . . . are many, subtle, and a pleasure to follow. . . . None of her bad readers could have written this very good book.” —Los Angeles Review of Books Literature departments tend to be focused on turning out, “good” readers—attentive to nuance, aware of history, interested in literary texts as self-contained works. But the majority of readers are, to use Merve Emre’s tongue-in-cheek term, “bad” readers. They read fiction and poetry to be moved, distracted, instructed, improved, engaged as citizens. How should we think about those readers, and what should we make of the structures, well outside the academy, that generate them? We should, Emre argues, think of such readers not as non-literary but as paraliterary—thriving outside literary institutions. She traces this phenomenon to the postwar period, when literature played a key role in the rise of American power. At the same time as American universities were producing good readers by the hundreds, many more thousands of bad readers were learning elsewhere to be disciplined public communicators, whether in diplomatic and ambassadorial missions, private and public cultural exchange programs, multinational corporations, or global activist groups. As we grapple with literature’s diminished role in the public sphere, Paraliterary suggests a new way to think about literature, its audience, and its potential, one that looks at the civic institutions that have long engaged readers ignored by the academy. “Paraliterary does for . . . reading . . . what The Program Era did for writing: profoundly upend what we thought we knew about how institutions other than the university have shaped our culture and our engagement with it.” —Deborah Nelson, University of Chicago

Download or read book The American Language Development of English in the United States written by H. L. Mencken and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American Language is a multi-volume study of how the English language is spoken in the United States. The book is Menken's research of the differences between English and American language. Mencken wanted to defend "Americanisms" against a steady stream of English critics, who usually isolated Americanisms as borderline "perversions" of the "mother tongue". The book discusses the beginnings of "American" variations from "English", the spread of these variations, American names and slang. According to Mencken, American English was more colorful, vivid, and creative than its British counterpart. The book concludes with the observation in the norms of use of the proper names in America, including surnames, given names, geographical names, Menken's analysis on the American slang, and forecast on the further language development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Collected Works of H. L. Mencken, coalesced under the meticulous eye of George Jean Nathan, represents a seminal anthology in American literary criticism and social commentary. The collection spans a wide array of themes, from biting satirical critiques of American culture and politics to keen observations on the human condition, all articulated through Menckens famously acerbic wit and Nathans discerning editorial oversight. The diversity in literary stylesranging from essays and prefaces to reviewsserves not only as a testament to Mencken's versatility but also underscores the enduring relevance of his insights into early 20th-century American society. The editors and contributors, Mencken himself and Nathan, stand as colossal figures in American literature and journalism, each bringing a unique but harmoniously aligned perspective to the anthology. Their backgrounds, deeply rooted in the rich soil of the American cultural and literary landscape of the early twentieth century, illuminate the historical and cultural underpinnings of the period. This collection, therefore, acts not only as a repository of Menckens critical legacy but also as a reflection of the broader literary movements and cultural shifts of the era. This anthology is recommended for readers who seek to immerse themselves in the depth and diversity of early 20th-century American thought. Through The Collected Works of H. L. Mencken, one gains unparalleled access to a spectrum of intellectual discourse, encapsulating the spirit of an era defined by its bold criticisms and equally compelling visions for the future. It is an essential read for those who wish to explore the multifaceted insights and the dynamic interplay between Menckens incisive prose and Nathans editorial acumen.
