Download or read book Edmund Wilson written by Richard Hauer Costa and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1980-11-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the eminent American literary critic Edmund Wilson, Upstate New York was home. Richard Hauer Costa's biography of Wilson's final years, from 1962 to 1972, in Talcottville, NY, combines the literary, the political, and the domestic in an engaging portrait of Wilson as "squierarchical, Dickensian, benevolent." Costa shows us a very personal, accessible man as he tells us about Wilson's opinions, literary and otherwise, his likes and dislikes, his almost spiritual link to Talcottville, his failing health in his final years, his habits (moviegoing) and idiosyncracies (sneakers). What emerges is a profile of Wilson not at all like the stern figure of academic biography. Also included are interviews Costa conducted after Wilson's death with noted Upstate novelist Walter D. Edmonds, Canadian writer Morley Callaghan, and Wilson's Upstate friend, Mary Pcolar.

Download or read book Textual Situations written by Andrew Taylor and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-08-31 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generations of scholars have meditated upon the literary devices and cultural meanings of The Song of Roland. But according to Andrew Taylor not enough attention has been given to the physical context of the manuscript itself. The original copy of The Song of Roland is actually bound with a Latin translation of the Timaeus. Textual Situations looks at this bound volume along with two other similarly bound medieval volumes to explore the manuscripts and marginalia that have been cast into shadow by the fame of adjacent texts, some of the most read medieval works. In addition to the bound volume that contains The Song of Roland, Taylor examines the volume that binds the well-known poem "Sumer is icumen in" with the Lais of Marie de France, and a volume containing the legal Decretals of Gregory IX with marginal illustrations of wayfaring life decorating its borders. Approaching the manuscript as artifact, Textual Situations suggests that medieval texts must be examined in terms of their material support—that is, literal interpretation must take into consideration the physical manuscript itself in addition to the social conventions that surround its compilation. Taylor reconstructs the circumstances of the creation of these medieval bound volumes, the settings in which they were read, inscribed, and shared, and the social and intellectual conventions surrounding them.

Download or read book Melville Biography written by Hershel Parker and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melville Biography: An Inside Narrative is Hershel Parker’s history of the writing of Melville biographies, enriched by his intimate working relationships with great Melvilleans, dead and living. The first part is a mesmerizing autobiographical account of what went into creating his award-winning two-volume life of Herman Melville. Next, Parker traces six decades the persistent war New Critics have waged against biographical scholarship on Melville. American literary critics, he finds, impose New Critical theories of organic unity on Melville’s disrupted career even while truncating his body of work and minimizing his aesthetic interests. Parker celebrates the "divine amateurs" who use new technology to discover dazzling Melville stories and also lauds the writers of literature blogs as potential redeemers of academic and mainstream media reviewing. In the third part, Parker invites readers into his biographical workshop and challenges them with ambitious research assignments. Throughout this bold book, Parker seeks to reinvigorate the all-but-lost art of scholarly literary criticism and biography.
