This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 5.0, Jan Kochanowski University of Humanities and Sciences in Kielce, language: English, abstract: These work is concerned with the depiction of women in Tennessee Williams ́s plays. Victims or manipulative creatures? Shy and innocent or seductive and well aware of their potential? What is the picture of Tennessee Williams’s women? The author has chosen two plays – The Glass Menagerie and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to help with analysis of this question. Indeed, a pure rhetorical analysis of his work that does not take into consideration the biographical aspects of Williams's characters and therefore cannot demonstrate the fullness of those characters, it also can it expect to accurately determine the message that the playwright sends us through those characters . What is also typical for Williams’s heroines is that they are not able to deal with their past, the problems of their history is growing stronger and is rooted in their everyday life. Consequently, those women of various age are stuck with the life in a state of current crisis. The hopelessness and the mediocrity of the characters in Williams’ The Glass Menagerie is caused by a serious breach between the characters’ feelings and their ability to verbalize the emotions. The women that parade in a pages of this thesis – Laura, Amanda, Maggie and even Big Mamma and Mae are lacking in almost physical, tangible way something very important – freedom of emotions. Modern woman – an icon which presents self-made woman, are well aware of her targets, beautiful, treating her body as a medium to promote herself. Not so much changed in comparison with Tennessee Williams females. Tennessee Williams women are so strikingly up-to-date with a modern woman. They are left prostrate in their womanhood, unsatisfied needs and desires. They keep on going despite their failures; they have their goals to achieve and ways to do so.

Book excerpt: Tennessee Williams is a contemporary Southern playwright whose writings show considerable debt to his Southern heritage. From his childhood in various Southern states and from his aristocratic family, Williams draws his characterizations of Southern women. Many critical studies have been written which categorizes Williams' women characters. Robert Emmet Jones categorizes Williams' women into two basic types: the Southern woman who lives in the legendary old South and the basically sensual woman usually of Latin origin. Signi L. Falk uses the Southern woman type but subdivides that type into the "southern gentlewoman" and the "southern wench." The "southern gentlewoman" includes the character who is an aggressive, domineering mother-character while the "southern wench" includes the "uninhibited matron who seems to represent the conviction that love making is the major reason for existing." This study proposes to limit the discussion of Williams' women in six of his major full-length plays by using the following three criteria: first, by dealing with only Southern women; second, by dealing with the two basic character types of passive and aggressive women; and third, by grouping the male types consistently used with each female type.

Book excerpt: If you are looking to brush up on your literary knowledge, check a favorite author's work, or see a year's bestsellers at a glance, The Chronology of American Literature is the perfect resource. At once an authoritative reference and an ideal browser's guide, this book outlines the indispensable information in America's rich literary past--from major publications to lesser-known gems--while also identifying larger trends along the literary timeline. Who wrote the first published book in America? When did Edgar Allan Poe achieve notoriety as a mystery writer? What was Hemingway's breakout title? With more than 8,000 works by 5,000 authors, The Chronology makes it easy to find answers to these questions and more. Authors and their works are grouped within each year by category: fiction and nonfiction; poems; drama; literary criticism; and publishing events. Short, concise entries describe an author's major works for a particular year while placing them within the larger context of that writer's career. The result is a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of some of America's most prominent writers. Perhaps most important, The Chronology offers an invaluable line through our literary past, tying literature to the American experience--war and peace, boom and bust, and reaction to social change. You'll find everything here from Benjamin Franklin's "Experiments and Observations on Electricity," to Davy Crockett's first memoir; from Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" to Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome; from meditations by James Weldon Johnson and James Agee to poetry by Elizabeth Bishop. Also included here are seminal works by authors such as Rachel Carson, Toni Morrison, John Updike, and Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. Lavishly illustrated--and rounded out with handy bestseller lists throughout the twentieth century, lists of literary awards and prizes, and authors' birth and death dates--The Chronology of American Literature belongs on the shelf of every bibliophile and literary enthusiast. It is the essential link to our literary past and present.
