Colonialism And The Emergence Of Science Fiction

Attribution
John Rieder
Publication Details
Book, Wesleyan University Press, 2008
Description
This is the first full-length study of emerging Anglo-American science fiction’s relation to the history, discourses, and ideologies of colonialism and imperialism. Nearly all scholars and critics of early science fiction acknowledge that colonialism is an important and relevant part of its historical context, and recent scholarship has emphasized imperialism’s impact on late Victorian Gothic and adventure fiction and on Anglo-American popular and literary culture in general.

Women Novelists And The Ethics Of Desire, 1684-1814 : In The Voice Of Our Biblical Mothers

Attribution
Elizabeth Kraft
Publication Details
Book, Ashgate, 2008
Description
In “Women Novelists and the Ethics of Desire, 1684-1814″, Elizabeth Kraft radically alters our conventional views of early women novelists by taking seriously their representations of female desire. Like their paradigmatic foremothers, these early women novelists create female characters who demonstrate subjectivity and responsibility for the other even as they grapple with the exigencies imposed on them by circumstance and convention.Kraft’s study, informed by ethical theorists such as Emmanuel Levinas and Luce Irigaray, is remarkable in its juxtaposition of narratives from ancient and early modern times.

Art Of The Everyday : Dutch Painting And The Realist Novel

Attribution
Ruth Bernard Yeazell
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2008
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
In this beautifully illustrated and elegantly written book, Ruth Yeazell explores the nineteenth century’s fascination with Dutch painting, as well as its doubts about an art that had long challenged traditional values. After showing how persistent tensions between high theory and low genre shaped criticism of novels and pictures alike, Art of the Everyday turns to four major novelists–Honoré de Balzac, George Eliot, Thomas Hardy, and Marcel Proust–who strongly identified their work with Dutch painting.
