Download or read book The Novelist in the Novel written by Elizabeth King and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-11-14 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do writers so often write about writers? This book offers the first comprehensive account of the phenomenon of the fictional novelist as a character in literature, arguing that our notions of literary genius – and what it means to be an author – are implicitly shaped by and explicitly challenged in novels about novelists, a genre that has been critically underexamined. Employing both close and distant reading techniques to analyse a large corpus of author-stories, The Novelist in the Novel explores the forms and functions of author-stories and the characters within them, offering a new theory that frames these works as textual sites at which questions of literary value and the cultural conceptions around authorship are constantly being negotiated and revised in a form of covert criticism aimed directly at readers. While nineteenth-century novels about novelists reveal a pervasive frustration with the market – a starving artist vs. commercial sell-out dichotomy – modernist examples of the genre focus on the development of the individual author-as-artist, entirely aloof from the marketplace and from the literary sphere at large. Yet, each of these dynamics is gendered, with women denigrated to commercial producers and men elevated to artists, and while the canon has largely supported the male view of authorship, a closer look at the work of women writers from this period reveals concerted attempts to counteract it. "Silly Lady Novelists" are pitted against serious male modernists in a battle to define what it means to be a literary genius.

Download or read book Mark Twain A Literary Life written by Everett Emerson and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title "Mark Twain endures. Readers sense his humanity, enjoy his humor, and appreciate his insights into human nature, even into such painful experiences as embarrassment and humiliation. No matter how remarkable the life of Samuel Clemens was, what matters most is the relationship of Mark Twain the writer and his writings. That is the subject of this book."—from the Preface In Mark Twain, A Literary Life, Everett Emerson revisits one of America's greatest and most popular writers to explore the relationship between the life of the writer and his writings. The assumption throughout is that to see Mark Twain's writings in focus, one must give proper attention to their biographical context. Mark Twain's literary career is fascinating in its strangeness. How could this genius have had so little sense of what he should next do? As a young man, Samuel Clemens's first vocation, that of journeyman printer, took him far from home to the sights of New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, while his next vocation would give him the identity by which we most frequently know him. His choice of "Mark Twain" as a pen name cemented his bond with the river, as did such books as Life on the Mississippi and Huckleberry Finn. Then following an unsuccessful try at silver mining, Clemens worked as a newspaperman, humorist, lecturer, but also cultivated an interest in playwriting, politics, and philosophizing. In reporting the author's life, Emerson has endeavored to permit Mark Twain to tell his own story as much as possible, through the use of letters and autobiographical writings, some unpublished. These fascinating glimpses into the life of the writer will be of interest to all who have an abiding affection for Samuel Clemens and his extraordinary legacy.

Book excerpt: The Literary World Upstairs The second-floor EWN newsroom was full of eccentric, bright, diverse news junkies. The first-floor business and advertising staff stayed away from there. Advertising staff prided themselves on never having even seen the second floor. But everyone agreed that the real weird lived on the third floor, home to the literary magazine, radio station and a new Center for Innovative Journalism. There is nothing so essentially Portland as a literary magazine. The Portland Review had been run by a perennial student, Robert Smithson, for nearly a decade. But the English department threatened his credits if he didn't graduate with his M.A. or start his PhD. Since a PhD in English meant a job teaching English in some rural college for the rest of his career, he reluctantly took his M.A. and went out to teach sixth graders in Portland instead. So, everyone at EWN grinned at the idea of the much tattooed and pierced punk with his yellow-blonde Mohawk teaching sixth graders, but they wished him well. Until they found out that his replacement wasn't going to be Joe Castro, the editor of Folio, the weekly newspaper of EWN, who Robert had been training to be his successor. No, the English faculty had lost their collective minds and chosen Mayra Cantwell, a master's student and self-proclaimed award-winning poet, who promised to return the Review to its roots — a magazine focused on literature and poetry. Leave the art and design to art magazines, she told the English faculty. It was music to their ears since most of them mourned for an era of quill pens and bottles of ink. The EWN staff knew Mayra. She had, as they say, a history with EWN and it wasn't a pretty one. Now she'd be in their building? Turning their beloved and admired magazine into something that looked like it had been done on a mimeograph? (Most of the staff didn't know what that looked like. Chief Geek Corey Washington sighed, found some images and sent them out during the editors' Zoom meeting.) The editors looked at each other in disbelief. Seriously? That's what she wanted to do? They weren't going to let that happen. Something must be done, they said, and turned their gaze to their faculty advisor, whose own hijinks as a former EWN staffer were still gossiped about — not only in the newsroom, but across campus. 'Devious bastard' was one of the kinder labels administrators and faculty muttered under their breaths. But EWN faculty advisor Ryan Matthews had his own history with Mayra Cantwell. He knew her well. (No, not in the Biblical sense. Mayra was one of the few women he hadn't slept with during those years.) She'd targeted him for his humiliation of her at a Powell's poetry slam six years ago when he was a cocky sophomore EWN writer. Her vendetta had gone on for three years and sucked in EWN staff and editors, PSU student government and Portland's literary community, before she just disappeared. People shrugged it off as the stay-home orders of the pandemic, but Ryan wasn't so sure. She was back, now, though. She still had an axe to grind. And she thought the Review was the perfect platform to get her revenge. Even if she burnt it all down in the process, she'd happily pour on the fuel and feed the flames. And dear God, Ryan was faced with being her advisor? Well this should be fun. A Literary Life is book 6 in Year 3 of Newsroom PDX, a series of political thrillers set in downtown Portland, Oregon. Foul language, some sex, lots of politics. Portland weird at its finest.
