Condición: Very Good. From the Library of John Russell Taylor.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book seeks to recover something of the original excitement, challenge and significance of Defoe's four novels of criminal life by reading them within and against the conventions of early eighteenth-century criminal biography. Crime raised deeply troubling questions in Defoe's time, not least as a powerful sign of the breakdown of traditional social authority and order. Arguing that Defoe's novels, like criminal biography, provided ways of facing and working through, as well as avoiding, certain of the moral and intellectual difficulties that crime raised for him and his readers, Faller shows how the 'literary', even 'aesthetic' qualities of his fiction contributed to these ends. Analysing the ways in which Defoe's novels exploited, deformed and departed from the genre they imitated, this book attempts to define the specific social and political (which is to say moral and ideological) value of a given set of 'literary' texts against those of a more 'ordinary' form of narrative.…

Faint age-discolourations on outer page edges, some internal creases, else little wear. Book is clean and bright, with unmarked text and firm binding, free of inscriptions and stamps. Dust jacket shows gentle sunning to the spine and edges, a bit of edgewear. -- This book seeks to recover something of the original excitement, challenge, and significance of Defoe's four novels of criminal life by reading them within and against the conventions of early eighteenth-century criminal biography. Crime raised deeply troubling questions in Defoe's time, not least because it seemed a powerful sign of the breakdown of traditional social authority and order. Arguing that Defoe's novels provided ways of facing working through, as well as avoiding, certain of the moral and intellectual difficulties that crime raised for him and his readers, Faller shows how the "literary," even "aesthetic" qualities of his fiction contributed to these ends. Analyzing the various ways in which Defoe's novels exploited, deformed, and departed from the genre they imitate, this book attempts to define the specific social and political (which is to say moral and ideological) value of a given set of "literary" texts against those of a more "ordinary" form of narrative. Moll Flanders, Colonel Jack, and Roxana are given extended readings in individual chapters. Other topics considered at length include the vexed question of Defoe's realism, his own version of reader response theory and how he deploys it, the novels' structural imitation of providential design, and his recurrent, almost obsessive effort to blunt or deny the commonly held notion that trade was somehow equivalent to theft. --Contents: 1. Romancing the Real: The "Field" of Criminal Biography 2. Defoe's Realism: Rough Frames, Strange Voices, Surprisingly Various Subjects and Readers Made More Present to Themselves 3. The Copious Text: Opening the Door to Inference, or, Room for Those Who Know How to Read It 4. Intimations of an Invisible Hand: The Mind Exercised, Enlarged, and Kept in Play by Strange Concurrences 5. The General Scandal Upon Business: Unanswerable Doubts, and the Text as a Field Supporting Very Nice Distinctions 6.

Notions Different From All the World: Criminal Stupidity, the Self and the Symbolic Order; Closing Comments: Truth, Complexity, Common Sense, and Empty Spaces.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, widespread fear of criminal assault motivated the publication of hundreds of pamphlets tracing the lives and misdeeds of London's most notorious rogues. Turned to Account is a study that focuses on the popular genre of criminal biography, examining how it played upon and reflected English society's fears and interest in aberrant behaviour. The author has not produced a criminal history, but an intriguing distillation of some 2,000 separate narratives describing the lives, deeds, and dying words of thieves, murderers, and various scoundrels. Lincoln Faller examines ways in which ordinary Englishmen read, wrote, and presumably thought on the subject of criminal actions and character. He completes his treatment by showing how the pamphlets served to delineate the lines of socially acceptable behaviour. Faller has chosen his examples with skill and economy to produce a comprehensive and interesting work.…
