Book, University of North Carolina Press, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Examining images by photographers such as Weegee and Aaron Siskind and fiction by writers such as William Carlos Williams, Richard Wright, Tillie Olsen, and Pietro di Donato, he argues that these artists drew attention to the country’s most vulnerable residents by using what he calls an “aesthetic of astonishment,” focused on startling, graphic images of pain, injury, and prejudice.

The Reenchantment Of Nineteenth-century Fiction : Dickens, Thackeray, George Eliot, And Serialization

Attribution
David Payne
Publication Details
Book, Palgrave Macmillan, 2005
Links
Description
This book shows how Dickens, Thackeray, and George Eliot sacralized Victorian modernity in two contradictory ways: by incarnating their moment as one of transcendent development, and by reenacting bloody rituals from a fading Protestant past. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Defining Acts : Drama And The Politics Of Interpretation In Late Medieval England

Attribution
Ruth Nisse
Publication Details
Book, University of Notre Dame Press, 2004
Links
- TABLE OF CONTENTS
Description
“Medieval drama, itself immensely confident, subtle, and profound, meets in Ruth Nisse a scholar able to match its demands. She situates medieval drama both in its vernacular literary setting, as a genre composed against the same cultural background as The Canterbury Tales, Piers Plowman, and The Book of Margery Kempe, and in its performances, which negotiate a range of contemporary social and political issues.

Melville : His World And Work

Attribution
Andrew Delbanco
Publication Details
Book, 1st ed, Knopf, 2005
Description
And he creates a vivid narrative of a life that left little evidence in its wake: Melville?s peculiar marriage, the tragic loss of two sons, his powerful friendship with Nathaniel Hawthorne and scores of literary cronies, bouts of feverish writing, relentless financial pressure both in the Berkshires and in New York, declining critical and popular esteem, and ultimately a customs job bedeviled by corruption. Delbanco uncovers autobiographical traces throughout Melville?s work, even as he illuminates the stunning achievements of a career that, despite being consigned to obscurity long before its author?s death, ultimately shaped our literature.

Poets In The Public Sphere : The Emancipatory Project Of American Women’s Poetry, 1800-1900

Attribution
Paula Bernat Bennett
Publication Details
Book, Princeton University Press, 2003
Links
- PUBLISHER DESCRIPTION
Description
Based entirely on archival research, Poets in the Public Sphere traces the emergence of the “New Woman” by examining poetry published by American women in newspapers and magazines between 1800 and 1900. As much women’s history as literary history, this book invites readers to rethink not only the role that nineteenth-century women played in their own emancipation but the role that poetry plays in cultural life.
