Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sir Roger De Coverley: And Other Literary Pieces The pieces collected in this little volume have been written at various times as interludes in a life devoted to graver studies. Some of them have been published before, others now see the light for the first time. Whether it was worth while to draw these from the obscurity of the author's desk, and to gather those from the books and journals where they lay dispersed, is a question to be decided by the reader, to whom I submit the waifs and strays in the hope that they may help him to while away an idle half-hour snatched from the duties or pleasures of ordinary life. Most of the pieces were composed in the classic groves of Cambridge, and the rest in the hardly less classic courts of the Temple, haunted by the shades of Johnson, of Goldsmith, of Cowper, and a crowd of other English worthies, whose memories the world will not willingly let die. It will be more than enough for me if these trifles should be deemed not wholly unworthy of the scenes in which they were written, and to which they owe any measure of inspiration they may possess.

Download or read book The A to Z of Fantasy Literature written by Brian Stableford and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-08-13 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time all literature was fantasy, set in a mythical past when magic existed, animals talked, and the gods took an active hand in earthly affairs. As the mythical past was displaced in Western estimation by the historical past and novelists became increasingly preoccupied with the present, fantasy was temporarily marginalized until the late 20th century, when it enjoyed a spectacular resurgence in every stratum of the literary marketplace. Stableford provides an invaluable guide to this sequence of events and to the current state of the field. The chronology tracks the evolution of fantasy from the origins of literature to the 21st century. The introduction explains the nature of the impulses creating and shaping fantasy literature, the problems of its definition and the reasons for its changing historical fortunes. The dictionary includes cross-referenced entries on more than 700 authors, ranging across the entire historical spectrum, while more than 200 other entries describe the fantasy subgenres, key images in fantasy literature, technical terms used in fantasy criticism, and the intimately convoluted relationship between literary fantasies, scholarly fantasies, and lifestyle fantasies. The book concludes with an extensive bibliography that ranges from general textbooks and specialized accounts of the history and scholarship of fantasy literature, through bibliographies and accounts of the fantasy literature of different nations, to individual author studies and useful websites.

Download or read book Raymond Chandler Romantic Ideology and the Cultural Politics of Chivalry written by Anthony Dean Rizzuto and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-03 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raymond Chandler, Romantic Ideology, and the Cultural Politics of Chivalry responds to the general consensus that Philip Marlowe represents a chivalric knight out of romance. The book argues that this commonplace reading requires a stunningly rosy rewriting of Marlowe, knighthood, chivalry, and romance. The book offers a history of the cultural politics of chivalry from the Middle Ages through British Romanticism to the modern United States, exposing the elitism, violent masculinism, racism, and ethno-national othering harbored within. Rizzuto also considers the survival of the chivalric ideology after World War I, and argues that the narrative of the Great War destroying chivalry rewrites the ghastly history of warfare. Touching on Chandler throughout these cultural histories, the book then directly confronts the question of knighthood and romance in the Marlowe novels. Rizzuto identifies an explicit rejection of romance in the service of hardboiled gender, class, and genre norms, including a seldom-remarked pattern of violence against women and sexual assault. The volume concludes by offering some ideas about Chandler’s motivations and the reception of the Marlowe novels.
