Rabbit (un)redeemed : The Drama Of Belief In John Updike’s Fiction

Attribution
Peter J. Bailey
Publication Details
Book, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2006
Links
- Table of contents
Description
Concentrating on a trio of Olinger stories, the Rabbit Angstrom tetralogy, In the “Beauty of the Lilies”, and “Rabbit Remembered” and dramatizing most emphatically Updike’s career-spanning dialogue with his complexly fragile religious beliefs, Bailey interprets the Rabbit saga as fictionalized spiritual autobiography in which, through imposing Harry Angstrom’s perceptual limitations upon his own stylistic gifts, Updike set himself the toughest trial of his ethical and aesthetic creed of the spirit-affirming capacities of human perception and expression.

John Updike’s Human Comedy : Comic Morality In The Centaur And The Rabbit Novels

Attribution
Brian Keener
Publication Details
Book, P. Lang, 2005
Description
Although critics have failed to recognize the extent and the importance of Updike’s comedy, his serious fiction does contain a good deal of farce, burlesque, and irony that, far from being peripheral or mere comic relief, depicts the absurd and contradictory nature of life. George Caldwell of The Centaur is Updike’s paragon, while Rabbit Angstrom embodies the comic hero who, through trial and error, finally matures. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Engendering The Fall : John Milton And Seventeenth- Century Women Writers

Attribution
Shannon Miller
Publication Details
Book, University of Pennsylvania Press, 2008
Description
The narrative of the Garden of Eden infused seventeenth-century political thought no less than it reflected attitudes toward the relationship between the sexes. She sets a series of writings by women into conversation with the period’s most important poetic rendering of the Fall, Milton’s Paradise Lost, to illustrate how significant gender was to accounts of social and political organization, and to demonstrate how the Garden narrative plots the role of gender.

Disciplining Love : Austen And The Modern Man

Michael Kramp

Book, Ohio State University Press, 2007

- Table of contents only
- Contributor biographical information
Description
While numerous scholars have intelligently taken up the topic of Austen?s women and the social construction of femininity in her narratives, the issues both of Austen?s men and of the social function of masculinity remain relatively under-discussed. In Disciplining Love, Michael Kramp offers a fresh perspective on the dynamic function of gender, love, and desire in the novels of Austen, initiating a new direction in the study of the early-nineteenth-century novelist by employing the theoretical writings of Gilles Deleuze and Michel Foucault to read Austen?s corpus.
