This book was released on 2016-06-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Condition and Prospects of Imaginative Literature at the Present Day Thirdly his style excels in modulation. It is capable of extraordinary varieties of rhythm. To produce the sudden im pression the writer developes all the musical capacities of speech. He augments the effect of the words by the move ments of his sentences, making use of cadences or abrupt turns, carefully poising the accent of the syllable and the stress of the phrase, and so linking up associations of sound and tone with the ideas which form the meaning of the words. T 0 some degree these qualities are to be found in all good prose. All artistic writers shape their speech so that it may rouse by its form the desired association of ideas. But the distinction of modern prose lies in the degree to which this process is carried. The modern prose writer handles the medium of his art with the care of a poet. He is distinguished from his predecessors by his conscious, sometimes too conscious, use of words as symbols of a magic potency. It is difficult to describe styles so as to bring out their exact differences, but it is easy to see how the methods of Stevenson differ, for example, from those of Scott. Compare our intro duction to Rob Roy with our introduction to Allan Breck Stewart. Scott, after two pages describing the hero's pre vious opinions of Scotchmen in general, proceeds thus: 'it was then with an impression of dislike that I contem plated the first Scotchman I chanced to meet in society. There was much about him that coincided with my previous conceptions. He had the hard features and athletic form said to be peculiar to his country, together with the national intona tion and a slow pedantic mode of expression, arising from a desire to avoid peculiarities of idiom or dialect. And so on for a page more. - not a word of which, be it said, we would wish away. This is how Allan is presented to us: He was smallish in stature, but well set and as nimble as a goat; his face was of a good open expression, but sunburnt very dark, and heavily freckled and pitted with the small-pox; his eyes were unusually light and had a kind of dancing madness in them, that was both engaging and alarming; and when he took off his great coat, he laid a pair of fine silver-mounted pistols on the table and I saw that he was belted with a great sword. His manners, besides, were elegant, and he pledged the captain handsomely. Altogether I thought of him at first sight that here was a man I would rather call my friend than my enemy.'

Download or read book Realism Form and Representation in the Edwardian Novel written by Charlotte Jones and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The real represents to my perception the things that we cannot possibly not know, sooner or later, in one way or another', wrote Henry James in 1907. This description, riven with double negatives, hesitation, and uncertainty, encapsulates the epistemological difficulties of realism, for underlying its narrative and descriptive apparatus as an aesthetic mode lies a philosophical quandary. What grounds the 'real' of the realist novel? What kind of perception is required to validate the experience of reality? How does the realist novel represent the difficulty of knowing? What comes to the fore in James's account, as in so many, is how the forms of realism are constituted by a relation to unknowing, absence, and ineffability. Realism, Form, and Representation in the Edwardian Novel recovers a neglected literary history centred on the intricate relationship between fictional representation and philosophical commitment. It asks how—or if—we can conceptualize realist novels when the objects of their representational intentions are realities that might exist beyond what is empirically verifiable by sense data or analytically verifiable by logic, and are thus irreducible to conceptual schemes or linguistic practices—a formulation Charlotte Jones refers to as 'synthetic realism'. In new readings of Edwardian novels including Conrad's Nostromo and The Secret Agent, Wells's Tono-Bungay, and Ford's The Good Soldier, this volume revises and reconsiders key elements of realist novel theory—metaphor and metonymy; character interiority; the insignificant detail; omniscient narration and free indirect discourse; causal linearity—to uncover the representational strategies by which realist writers grapple with the recalcitrance of reality as a referential anchor, and seek to give form to the force, opacity, and uncertain scope of realities that may lie beyond the material. In restoring a metaphysical dimension to the realist novel's imaginary, Realism, Form, and Representation in the Edwardian Novel offers a new conceptualization of realism both within early twentieth-century literary culture and as a transhistorical mode of representation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a sleepy farming stead, a young man, Alant Cor, is found to be one of the few Humans who can manipulate the Essence. And, not simply manipulate it. Alant has more power over this magical force than any Human in known history. Does his younger brother, Arderi Cor, possess the same ability, or something more sinister? Clytus Rillion, the commander of a mercenary troop, embarks on a quest to cure his dying son, Sindian. Though he doubts he will survive the journey, he will pay any price to save his son's life. The beast, known as Klain, born a slave and now used to entertain the masses in a bloodthirsty sport known as the Games, finds out his true value to those who own him lies with his death. All are resigned to walk the paths fate has put them upon. Yet, is this of their own accord? Or, is an ancient and powerful race, the Elmorr'Antiens, manipulating the other inhabitants of Talic'Nauth? Change is falling upon the Plane. Some Elmorr'Antiens are making preparations to weather the storms ahead--and others intend to use the coming choas to seize power over all the races.
