Book excerpt: In this book an attempt has been made to shed light on symbols, to decode the symbols and to identify the various interpretation it stand for. American literature in general is full of symbols from the days of early settlement to the present day. Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and Edgar Allan Poe and Mark Twain all have used symbols in their respective works. In this book Nathaniel Hawthorne has been taken for study. His magnum opus "The Scarlet Letter" has been analysed from different angles. The symbolic significance of several characters and the ever changing meaning of the word "A" have been vividly studied. The effect of sin and its evil ramifications in human mind have also been analysed from Biblical point of view.

Download or read book The Meaning of Rivers written by T. S. McMillin and published by University of Iowa Press. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the continental United States, rivers serve to connect state to state, interior with exterior, the past to the present, but they also divide places and peoples from one another. These connections and divisions have given rise to a diverse body of literature that explores American nature, ranging from travel accounts of seventeenth-century Puritan colonists to magazine articles by twenty-first-century enthusiasts of extreme sports. Using pivotal American writings to determine both what literature can tell us about rivers and, conversely, how rivers help us think about the nature of literature, The Meaning of Rivers introduces readers to the rich world of flowing water and some of the different ways in which American writers have used rivers to understand the world through which these waters flow. Embracing a hybrid, essayistic form—part literary theory, part cultural history, and part fieldwork—The Meaning of Rivers connects the humanities to other disciplines and scholarly work to the land. Whether developing a theory of palindromes or reading works of American literature as varied as Henry David Thoreau's A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers and James Dickey’s Deliverance, McMillin urges readers toward a transcendental retracing of their own interpretive encounters. The nature of texts and the nature of “nature” require diverse and versatile interpretation; interpretation requires not only depth and concentration but also imaginative thinking, broad-mindedness, and engaged connection-making. By taking us upstream as well as down, McMillin draws attention to the potential of rivers for improving our sense of place and time.
Download or read book Symbols of Native America written by Heike Owusu and published by Sterling Publishing Company, Inc.. This book was released on 1999 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 1000 illustrations show the fascinating origins and meanings of 300 symbols and signs used by North American tribes. The magnificent variety of symbols are shown as they were used in pottery, clothing, masks, shields, totems, and other settings, carved, sewn, and painted. The collection starts with the simplest symbols--from lines, circles, and curves, to crosses, triangles, and squares--then traces their combinations into ever-more complex designs. Many symbols depict bonds with nature--particularly animals and landscape features--which appear in clan identifications, picture-writing, rituals, legends, and stories that convey heroism and wisdom. A special section explains how more than 80 different animals may have different meanings among cultures of the Southwest, Plains, Northwest Coast, Sub-Arctic North, and the Northeast. 320 pages, 150 b/w illus., 5 5/8 x 7 1/2.
Download or read book The Symbolic Meaning written by David Herbert Lawrence and published by Fontwell, Arundel. This book was released on 1964 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In effect a new work by D. H. Lawrence, and perhaps the best of his literary criticism, The Symbolic Meaning is a volume which he wrote and intended to publish as early as 1917, before he had ever visited the United States. He then called it The Transcendental Element in American Literature, and some of its brilliant, unorthodox critiques of leading American literary figures were printed as a series in the English Review. They attracted little attention at that time; the series was not completed, and the book did not appear. In 1923, when Lawrence came to America, he rewrote the series completely. He wrote now in the white heat of anger, his sympathy toward America having turned to hatred; the tone and temper of the essays were changed into an almost polemical violence. The new and shorter versions were published as Studies in Classic American Literature, which Edmund Wilson has called "one of the few first-rate books that have ever been written on the subject," and it is in this form that they are known and widely read today. It will be for today's critics and readers to decide which version best represents Lawrence and does most justice to his twelve American subjects--Poe, Whitman, Melville, Hawthorne, Cooper, and the rest. Students of Lawrence will find the comparison fascinating; many will surely prefer these sober, thoroughgoing, and well-tempered earlier judgments."--Dust jacket.

Download or read book Deconstructing Paradise written by Patricia E. Reagan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deconstructing Paradise investigates Christian symbols that appear in Latin American Literature in an inverted way. The texts under investigation invert the Christian center to generate a social, political, cultural, or even artistic commentary. In doing so, each text underscores a search for meaning that rejects the centering presence of the more traditional Christian focus that has long validated humankind’s existence both in society and in literature. As Deconstructing Paradise examines, finding a unified center around which to construct meaning is no longer possible, although the search for meaning persists in the inverted Christian center. The first three chapters analyze the trifecta of novels that offer a full allegory of inverted Christian symbolism including: Miguel Ángel Asturias’ El Señor Presidente; Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo and José Donoso’s El lugar sin límites. Chapters Four and Five focus on inverted Christ and inverted Judas figures in multiple novels and short fiction. As many Latin American literary critics affirm, it is increasingly difficult to categorize fiction after the Boom, although even the usefulness of these categories is ultimately questionable. Literary critics now look for patterns and Deconstructing Paradise offers one such pattern by identifying a trend in an impressive scope of the well-known authors of twentieth-century Latin American literature, while also tracing this pattern back to nineteenth-century precursors. Deconstructing Paradise offers a unique and comprehensive look at a significant trend that will undoubtedly foment new ideas and paths of study in contemporary Latin American literature.

Download or read book A History of Russian Symbolism written by Avril Pyman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first detailed history of the Russian Symbolist movement, from its initial hostile reception as a symptom of European decadence to its absorption into the mainstream of Russian literature, and eventual disintegration. It focuses on the two generations of writers whose work served as the seedbed of Existentialism in thought and of Modernism in prose and the performing arts, and reassesses their achievements in the light of modern research. At the centre of the study are the texts themselves, with prose quoted in English translation and poetry given in the original Russian with prose translations. There is a valuable bibliography of primary sources and an extensive chronological appendix. This book will fill a long-felt gap, and will be invaluable to students and teachers of Russian and comparative literature, Symbolism, modernism, and pre-revolutionary Russian culture.
