Book Unseasonable Youth

Download or read book Unseasonable Youth written by Jed Esty and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-04 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unseasonable Youth examines a range of modernist-era fictions that cast doubt on the ideology of progress through the figure of stunted or endless adolescence. Novels of youth by Oscar Wilde, Olive Schreiner, Rudyard Kipling, Joseph Conrad, H.G. Wells, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys, and Elizabeth Bowen disrupt the inherited conventions of the bildungsroman in order to criticize bourgeois values and to reinvent the biographical plot, but also to explore the contradictions inherent in mainstream developmental discourses of self, nation, and empire. The intertwined tropes of frozen youth and uneven development, as motifs of failed progress, play a crucial role in the emergence of dilatory modernist style and in the reimagination of colonial space at the fin-de-siècle. The genre-bending logic of uneven development - never wholly absent from the coming-of-age novel -- takes on a new and more intense form in modernism as it fixes its broken allegory to the problem of colonial development. In novels of unseasonable youth, the nineteenth-century idea of world progress comes up against stubborn signs of underdevelopment and uneven development, just at the same moment that post-Darwinian racial sciences and quasi-Freudian sexological discourses lend greater influence to the idea that certain forms of human difference cannot be mitigated by civilizing or developmental forces. In this historical context, the temporal meaning and social vocation of the bildungsroman undergo a comprehensive shift, as the history of the novel indexes the gradual displacement of historical-progressive thinking by anthropological-structural thinking in the Age of Empire.

Book excerpt: Wilbur H. "Ping" Ferry (1910-1995) was a self-styled "town crank," an influential and iconoclastic figure who seemingly knew everyone worth knowing in the mid-twentieth century.

Book Unseasonable

  • Author : J. R. Henson
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 2019-03-02
  • ISBN : 9781798431313
  • Pages : 130 pages

Download or read book Unseasonable written by J. R. Henson and published by . This book was released on 2019-03-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains poetry as well as prose fiction and nonfiction. It's not to be read as a novel but as a collection of independent short essays. Each is written about the author's hidden feelings and may not be a factual representation about the responses he gave at the time. He hopes it will stir up feelings similar to the readers' own, so they can understand from their own lives that what may been seen on the outside isn't necessarily the inner feelings that can be hidden under masks where deception, anxiety, addiction, and depression reside. Don't look to this book for the expected from beginning to end, because all you will find is the author's journey, which has been Unseasonable. The author alludes to Shakespeare, who defines our lives as actors in a play, and our roles as the seven stages of life, from birth to death. Thus he defines his roles as an actor on stage, with the book divided into six scenes or acts: Happiness, Sadness, Death, Anger, Fear, and Drama. The writings range from poems about life, politics, and love, to stories about family life, childhood, loneliness, and broken relationships.

Book Aggregating Dialectology  Typology  and Register Analysis

Download or read book Aggregating Dialectology Typology and Register Analysis written by Benedikt Szmrecsanyi and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume aims to overcome sub-disciplinary boundaries in the study of linguistic variation - be it language-internal or cross-linguistic. Even though dialectologists, register analysts, typologists, and quantitative linguists all deal with linguistic variation, there is astonishingly little interaction across these fields. But the fourteen contributions in this volume show that these subdisciplines actually share many interests and methodological concerns in common. The chapters specifically converge in the following ways: First, they all seek to explore linguistic variation, within or across languages. Second, they are based on usage data, that is, on corpora of (more or less) authentic text or speech of different languages or language varieties. Third, all chapters are concerned with the joint analysis (also sometimes known as “aggregation” or “data synthesis”) of multiple phenomena, features, or measurements of some sort. And lastly, the contributors all marshal quantitative analysis techniques to analyse the data. In short, the volume explores the text-feature-aggregation pipeline in variation studies, demonstrating that there is much mutual inspiration to be had by thinking outside the disciplinary box.
