Download or read book Letters of Blood and Other Works in English written by Göran Printz-Påhlson and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2011 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together for the first time select works in English by the major Swedish modernist poet and critic Goran Printz-Pahlson. It was Printz-Pahlson who introduced poetic modernism to Scandinavia, and his essays and poems delve deeply into English, American, and continental modernist traditions. As well as "Letters of Blood," the collection includes the full text of "The Words of the Tribe," a major statement on modern poetics, in which Printz-Pahlson explores the significance of primitivism in Romanticism and Modernism, and the nature of metaphor and literary materialism. The collection also includes essays on style, irony, realism, and the relationship between historical drama and historical fiction, as well as studies of American poetry. Printz-Pahlson's poetry in English continues to explore these themes by different, often surprisingly innovative, means. Minor edits to this book have been made in May 2016.

Download or read book Contemporary Nordic Literature and Spatiality written by Kristina Malmio and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-14 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access collection offers a detailed mapping of recent Nordic literature and its different genres (fiction, poetry, and children’s literature) through the perspective of spatiality. Concentrating on contemporary Nordic literature, the book presents a distinctive view on the spatial turn and widens the understanding of Nordic literature outside of canonized authors. Examining literatures by Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Finnish authors, the chapters investigate a recurrent theme of social criticism and analyze this criticism against the welfare state and power hierarchies in spatial terms. The chapters explore various narrative worlds and spaces—from the urban to parks and forests, from textual spaces to spatial thematics, studying these spatial features in relation to the problems of late modernity.

Download or read book Modern Swedish Prose in Translation written by Karl Erik Lagerlöf and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern Swedish Prose in Translation was first published in 1979. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. These excerpts from Swedish prose works - mostly novels - reflect major shifts in mood and style in the 25 years since 1950. Editor Karl Erik Lagerlof traces cultural and political developments in Sweden from the post-World War II era, when writers felt themselves in a world devoid of political meaning and rejected realism as a literary mode, down to the intensely political years of the Vietnam era. The selections in this anthology range from the anti-ideological works of the postwar years to recent documentary methods influenced by Marxism, structuralism, and a renewed political consciousness.

Download or read book Centring on the Peripheries written by Bjarne Thorup Thomsen and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the "debatable lands" of Scandinavia and Scotland write their relations with their national centers, and with each other? How have post-colonialism and post nationalism made themselves felt in the literature of the cultural patchwork of Northern Europe? These sixteen essays trace ways to tell the stories of connections, boundaries, and localities that might go undetected by historians and artists. The literatures of the islands, borderlands, and landscapes of the North and Baltic Seas are set in dialogue with contemporary literary and socio-political approaches to the study of local, national and global cultural constellations, disrupting conventional cartographies that paint the margins as passive victims of geography or economics.

Download or read book The Red Room written by August Strindberg and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This nineteenth-century Swedish classic that satirizes Stockholm society is “a scathing attack on every aspect of modern life” (Rosalind Porter, The Guardian, “1000 Novels Everyone Must Read”). Disillusioned with chasing such meaningless achievements as wealth and influence, Arvid Falk leaves his career as a civil servant to embark on a life of artistic pursuits. He longs for the freedom that becoming a writer will offer him, much to the chagrin of his older brother who has conned him out of part of his inheritance. But Falk’s journey towards beauty and meaning hits a few speedbumps. The counterculture characters he once envied are in reality no better or worse than the cogs in the corporate machine. They’re faux intellectuals willing to sell out to the highest bidder, kowtowing to the mainstream sensibility they pretend to deplore. The enlightenment that Falk seeks is nowhere to be found. In this witty study of human nature, August Strindberg skewers the institutions of art, politics, capitalism, religion, and rebellion. Nothing is safe from his keen observations on the hypocrisy of modern society.

Download or read book Sociological Aspects of the Literary System written by Karl Erik Rosengren and published by . This book was released on 1968 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sociological Aspects of the Literary System contains a modern sociological approach to some classical problems of literature. The author shows that it is possible to measure, quantitatively and objectively, aspects of such elusive phenomena as the success of a writer, the rate of changes in the literary milieu, structures in the literary frame of reference. The results of such measurements, he claims, could to advantage be expressed in terms of sociological theories already in existence, instead of the everyday language of traditional history of literature. The sociological approach makes the author question the importance of the individual writer and critic, cherished by traditional history of literature."--Book cover."
