Download or read book A Comparative Analysis of Violence in Margaret Drabble and Four Selected Iraqi Novels written by Bushra Juhi Jani and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first work comparing Margaret Drabble with key Iraqi novelists. It analyses physical and soft violence in Drabble’s novels and the works of four Iraqi contemporary novelists, including Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad (2013). The book argues that physical and soft violence are interwoven and interconnected, meaning that, where there is physical violence, there is nearly always soft violence and, though to a lesser extent, vice versa. Thus, soft violence can cause just as much damage, psychologically or literally, as hard violence.
Download or read book Enchanted Hunters The Power of Stories in Childhood written by Maria Tatar and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highly illuminating for parents, vital for students and book lovers alike, Enchanted Hunters transforms our understanding of why children should read. Ever wondered why little children love listening to stories, why older ones get lost in certain books? In this enthralling work, Maria Tatar challenges many of our assumptions about childhood reading. Much as our culture pays lip service to the importance of literature, we rarely examine the creative and cognitive benefits of reading from infancy through adolescence. By exploring how beauty and horror operated in C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia, Philip Pullman’s His Dark Materials, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter novels, and many other narratives, Tatar provides a delightful work for parents, teachers, and general readers, not just examining how and what children read but also showing through vivid examples how literature transports and transforms children with its intoxicating, captivating, and occasionally terrifying energy. In the tradition of Bruno Bettelheim’s landmark The Uses of Enchantment, Tatar’s book is not only a compelling journey into the world of childhood but a trip back for adult readers as well.
Download or read book Margaret Drabble Existing Within Structures written by Molly Hurley Moran and published by Carbondale : Southern Illinois University Press. This book was released on 1983 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though often proclaimed a "woman's writer," Margaret Drabble is "ultimately concerned with larger philosophical and psychological issues"--the most important being the question of the human will. Moran sees Drabble's fiction as being "focused more on the problems which confront both men and women, of living in the bewildering contemporary world." It is a world of IRA terrorism, aborted fetuses, and suicide, but it is also a world of homecoming parties, homebaked bread, and waterfalls. It is a world where "in spite of the fact that a human being is a tiny, powerless speck in a turbulent, menacing universe, there are redeeming qualities to the position. There is both beauty and humor in the condition of being human. Drabble's novels hold up for our admiration people who perceive these qualities of life in spite of its prevailing gloom." For Drabble, the psychological and physical connections of family provide both spiritual and psychological solace. "Although the family curtails individual freedom, by influencing one's character and imposing familial responsibilities, it is ultimately a bulwark against life's turbulence and uncertainties."

Download or read book Clever Girls and the Literature of Women s Upward Mobility written by Mary Eagleton and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows the figure of ‘the clever girl’ from the post-war to the present and focuses on the fiction, plays and memoirs of contemporary British women writers. Spurred on by an ethic of meritocracy, the clever girl is now facing austerity and declining social mobility. Though suggesting optimism, a public discourse of ‘opportunity’, ‘aspiration’ and ‘choice’ is often experienced as an anxious and chancy process. In a wide-ranging study, the book explores the struggle to move away from home and traditional notions of femininity; the persistent problems associated with women’s embodiment; the pressures of class and racial divisions; the new subjectivities of the neoliberal era; and the generational conflict underpinning austerity. The book ends with a consideration of feminism’s place as a phantom presence in this history of clever girls. This study will appeal to readers of contemporary women’s writing and to those interested in what has been one of the dominant social narratives of the post-war period from upward to declining mobility.
