Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Download or read book A Dynamic Modernity written by Seema Bhaduri and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2022-09-22 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares selected Indian novels with their Western models, to trace the differences appearing in them to the traditions of thought and understanding that had influenced the respective world-views. Beginning with a survey of the rise of modernity in India, this book presents a comparative review of Western and Indian ontological interpretations of the major themes governing these novels. These novels in Bengali, Hindi and English experiment with the form of the Western psychological novel to portray the individual’s private thoughts and experiences realistically. They represent that body of fiction which dwells on the different aspects of the rise of the modernist Indian temperament under British influence. The novels map nearly half a century of the individual’s struggle for meaning and freedom in a society trapped between history, tradition and westernization. Using free translations, this book illustrates the novelists’ methods of improvisation with Western themes, styles and techniques to portray the Indian understanding of selfhood, art, and reality. The concluding comparative poetics discusses in a comparative perspective, the poetic principles underlying the novelists’ assimilation, comparison, and parody of the Western texts. A mutual comparison of the Indian novels illustrates the diversity that characterizes the cross-cultural experience of Indian modernity. Reviews: "A Dynamic Modernity: Adaptation and Parody in Six Twentieth Century Indian Novels is a seminal contribution to the study of literary reception and transformation in the field of comparative literary studies in India. It engages with the stream-of-consciousness novels in Western and Indian literatures, and the choice of the genre becomes important as it allows the reader to rethink questions of modernism, the philosophy of the self in the cultures concerned, representation and realism, and diffferences embedded in concepts of aesthetics in different cultures." - Subha Chakraborty Dasgupta Former Professor of Comparative Literature, Jadavpur University "A welcome and useful study, competently handled, offering analysis of some of the most outstanding fiction writers." - G. N. Devy

Download or read book Figure of Faust in Valery and Goethe written by Kurt Weinberg and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interprets Mon Faust and explores the differences between Valéry's and Goethe's treatments of the Faust figure. The author shows by close analysis how Valéry opposes a Cartesian, anti-Pascalian Faust to Goethe's romantically flawed hero. The title of the project conceived by Valéry's Faust, The Mind's Body-part autobiography, part metaphysical treatise-embodies the Cartesian dilemma ironically illustrated by the Mon Faust fragments: the misfortunes of the thinking essence, the cogito, in its subjugation to the body. The first three chapters examine the Cartesian character of a Faust engaged in superhuman but vain attempts to reconcile the intellect and the libido. A fourth chapter discusses the differences between Goethe's and Valéry's protagonists and as well between Goethe and his Faust. Throughout the book the author explores Valéry's linguistic experimentation, which, through charades, paranomasia, onomastics, and etymological puns, brings into full play the mystifying and mythologizing aspects of language. To resolve the stylistic problems associated with this fragmentary work the author adapts the tone of his exegesis to the diverse stylistic levels of Mon Faust. His analysis illuminates the Cartesian potential inherent in Valéry's protagonist. Originally published in 1976.
