Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays tracing the intellectual life of a quintessential New York City writer and thinker Marshall Berman was one of the great urbanists and Marxist cultural critics of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and his brilliant, nearly sui generis book All That Is Solid Melts Into Air is a masterpiece of the literature on modernism. But like many New York intellectuals, the essay was his characteristic form, accommodating his multifarious interests and expressing his protean, searching exuberant mind. This collection includes early essays from and on the radical ’60s, on New York City, on literary figures from Kafka to Pamuk, and late essays on rock, hip hop, and gentrification. Concluding with his last essay, completed just before his death in 2013, this book is Berman’s intellectual autobiography, tracing his career as a thinker through the way he read the “signs in the street.””

Download or read book Text Genetics in Literary Modernism and other Essays written by Hans Walter Gabler and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays from world-renowned scholar Hans Walter Gabler contains writings from a decade and a half of retirement spent exploring textual criticism, genetic criticism, and literary criticism. In these sixteen stimulating contributions, he develops theories of textual criticism and editing that are inflected by our advance into the digital era; structurally analyses arts of composition in literature and music; and traces the cultural implications discernible in book design, and in the canonisation of works of literature and their authors. Distinctive and ambitious, these essays move beyond the concerns of the community of critics and scholars. Gabler responds innovatively to the issues involved and often endeavours to re-think their urgencies by bringing together the orthodox tenets of different schools of textual criticism. He moves between a variety of topics, ranging from fresh genetic approaches to the work of James Joyce and Virginia Woolf, to significant contributions to the theorisation of scholarly editing in the digital age. Written in Gabler’s fluent style, these rich and elegant compositions are essential reading for literary and textual critics, scholarly editors, readers of James Joyce, New Modernism specialists, and all those interested in textual scholarship and digital editing under the umbrella of Digital Humanities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this book Benjamin reveals Baudelaire as a social poet of the very first rank.

Download or read book Essays on Music and Language in Modernist Literature written by Katherine O'Callaghan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the role of music as a source of inspiration and provocation for modernist writers. In its consideration of modernist literature within a broad political, postcolonial, and internationalist context, this book is an important intervention in the growing field of Words and Music studies. It expands the existing critical debate to include lesser-known writers alongside Joyce, Woolf, and Beckett, a wide-ranging definition of modernism, and the influence of contemporary music on modernist writers. From the rhythm of Tagore’s poetry to the influence of jazz improvisation, the tonality of traditional Irish music to the operas of Wagner, these essays reframe our sense of how music inspired Literary Modernism. Exploring the points at which the art forms of music and literature collide, repel, and combine, contributors draw on their deep musical knowledge to produce close readings of prose, poetry, and drama, confronting the concept of what makes writing "musical." In doing so, they uncover commonalities: modernist writers pursue simultaneity and polyphony, evolve the leitmotif for literary purposes, and adapt the formal innovations of twentieth-century music. The essays explore whether it is possible for literature to achieve that unity of form and subject which music enjoys, and whether literary texts can resist paraphrase, can be simply themselves. This book demonstrates how attention to the role of music in text in turn illuminates the manner in which we read literature.
Download or read book The Modernist Papers written by Fredric Jameson and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural critic Fredric Jameson, renowned for his incisive studies of the passage of modernism to postmodernism, returns to the movement that dramatically broke with all tradition in search of progress for the first time since his acclaimed A Singular Modernity . The Modernist Papers is a tour de froce of anlysis and criticism, in which Jameson brings his dynamic and acute thought to bear on the modernist literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Jameson discusses modernist poetics, including intensive discussions of the work of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Wallace Stevens, Joyce, Proust, and Thomas Mann. He explores the peculiarties of the American literary field, taking in William Carlos Williams and the American epic, and examines the language theories of Gertrude Stein. Refusing to see modernism as simply a Western phenomenon he also pays close attention to its Japanese expression; while the complexities of a late modernist representation of twentieth-century politics are articulated in a concluding section on Peter Weiss’s novel The Aesthetics of Resistance. Challenging our previous understanding of the literature of this pperiod, this monumental work will come to be regarded as the classic study of modernism.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the Modern Mind and Other Essays in Modernism My good cousin asked me the other day: "For whom is your forthcoming book being written?" I was obliged to make answer: "That must remain to be seen. We'll have to wait until the book has come forth in fact." Still, as it is being thrown upon the public there is no harm in my declaring by way of preface the good intention of the book. What I intend is to influence you who read me understandingly to clearer and sincerer thinking upon matters which do vastly concern every sober man - matters of free religion and a modern spirit. As I have laboriously read the proof-sheets of this, my first-born book, I have remarked many an imperfection which, alas, it was all too late to correct. I do not ask the critical reader to condone these: they are, I know, inexcusable by any test you may apply. What I do ask is that you along with me should sincerely experiment with the experience of God herein recorded. For, let me assure you, it is an experience. If at any point I have seemed to write for the mere pleasure of the thing, or if for the moment I have seemed to expend my energies in worming out of my inner consciousness a weltanschauung amazing to the reason merely and not tolerable in terms of life; then and there I beg you to read lightly.

Download or read book The Originality of the Avant Garde and Other Modernist Myths written by Rosalind E. Krauss and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1986-07-09 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-founder and co-editor of October magazine, a veteran of Artforum of the 1960s and early 1970s, Rosalind Krauss has presided over and shared in the major formulation of the theory of postmodernism. In this challenging collection of fifteen essays, most of which originally appeared in October, she explores the ways in which the break in style that produced postmodernism has forced a change in our various understandings of twentieth-century art, beginning with the almost mythic idea of the avant-garde. Krauss uses the analytical tools of semiology, structuralism, and poststructuralism to reveal new meanings in the visual arts and to critique the way other prominent practitioners of art and literary history write about art. In two sections, "Modernist Myths" and "Toward Postmodernism," her essays range from the problem of the grid in painting and the unity of Giacometti's sculpture to the works of Jackson Pollock, Sol Lewitt, and Richard Serra, and observations about major trends in contemporary literary criticism.

This book was released on 2018-01-29 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Religion and the Modern Mind and Other Essays in Modernism The essays sewed together in this little volume were delivered on very various occasions. One of them was occasioned by a visitation of certain colleges and universities I was authorized to make as Billings Lecturer for the American Unitarian Association. One or two others were used in the first instance as chapel talks before our students in the theological school, and afterwards printed here and there. The essay on prayer was given in substance as a vesper address before two or three colleges and universities here in the West. The gist of another was used in such places as the University of Wisconsin and Ohio State Uni verity, where I have had occasional engagements. The essay on Life Everlasting was originally de livered as the Channing Hall address in Boston. And so on. It doesn't matter much what the precise history of these following papers has been. As they now stand they are much revised; and, I dare say, anyway, they have been mostly forgotten by those who may have heard or read them in their original form.

Download or read book Modernism and the Other in Stevens Frost and Moore written by Andrew M. Lakritz and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a critically courageous and original reading, Andrew Lakritz reinterprets American poetic modernism by linking three unlikely avatars of modernism - Wallace Stevens, Robert Frost, and Marianne Moore - and viewing them through the lens of theorist Walter Benjamin. Stevens, Frost, and Moore are often viewed as withdrawn from or unconcerned with social issues. This study, by contrast, shows how gender, class, and political issues influence the way these poets use language. Lakritz uses Benjamin's and Theodor Adorno's critical perspectives to reframe formal and aesthetic questions in terms of the cultural contexts of the modern moment in the United States. His book will appeal to critics interested in Marxist theory and in theoretical approaches to poetry generally and to specialists in American literary modernism and postmodernism.
