(the date of the earliest surviving document in any Romance language) to the 1980s is the most compact & imaginative single-volume guide available in English to the French literary tradition. In fact, no comparable work exists in either language. This is not the customary inventory of authors & titles but rather a collection of wide-angled views of historical & cultural phenomena. It sets before us writers, public figures, criminals, saints, & monarchs, as well as religious, cultural, & social revolutions. It gives us books, paintings, public monuments, even television shows. Written by 164 American & European specialists, the essays are introduced by date & arranged in chronological order, but here ends the book's resemblance to the usual history of literature. Each date is followed by a headline evoking an event that indicates the chronological point of departure. Usually the event is literary (the publication of an original work, a journal, a translation, the first performance of a play, the death of an author), but some events are literary only in terms of their repercussions or resonances. Essays devoted to a genre exist alongside essays devoted to one book, institutions are presented side by side with literary movements, & large surveys appear next to detailed discussions of specific landmarks. No article is limited to the "life & works" of a single author. Proust, for example, appears through various lenses, fleetingly, in 1704, apropos of Antoine Galland's translation of "The Thousand & One Nights"; in 1898, in conjunction w/ the Dreyfus affair; in 1905, on the occasion of the law on the separation of church & state; in 1911, in relation to Gide & their different treatments of homosexuality; & at his death in 1922. Without attempting to cover every author, work, & cultural development since the Serments de Strasbourg in 842, this history succeeds in being both informative & critical about the more than 1,000 years it describes. The contributors offer us a chance to appreciate not only French culture but also the major critical positions in literary studies today. Authoritative, lively, & highly readable, "A New History of French Literature" is essential reading for all engaged in the study of French culture & for all who are interested in it. * HIGHEST PRAISE: "This grandly imagined & executed history of French literature is without precedent in any language. Here are many of the best contemporary critics & theorists, writing w/ vivid originality, always in a personal accent. This volume is a triumph of editorial & critical intelligence." -Richard Poirier, Editor, Raritan Quarterly * By far the best single-volume guide in English to the French literary tradition." -Malcolm Bowie, University of London * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.…

Paperback or Softback. Condición: New. The Searchers: Essays and Reflections on John Ford's Classic Western. Book.

Paperback. Condición: new. New Copy. Customer Service Guaranteed.

Paperback. Condición: New. Illustrated. In many ways a traditional western, ""The Searchers"" (1956) is considered by critics to be one of the greatest Hollywood films, made by the most influential of western directors. But John Ford's classic work, in its complexity and ambiguity, was a product of post-World War II American culture and sparked a deconstruction of the western film myth by looking unblinkingly at white racism and violence and suggesting its social and psychological origins. The film tells the story of the kidnapping of the niece of Ethan Edwards (John Wayne) by Comanche Indians and Edward's long search to find her - ultimately not to rescue her, since he finds her racially and sexually violated. This text brings historians and film scholars together to cover the major critical issues of the film as seen through a contemporary prism. It also contains a sustained reaction to the film by Native Americans. The essays explore a range of topics: from John Wayne's grim character of Ethan Edwards, to the actual history of Indian captivity on the southern Plains, as well as the role of the film's music, setting and mythic structure - all of which should help the reader to understand what makes ""The Searchers"" such an enduring work.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Fünfundneunzig Meilen nordwestlich von Veracruz waren sie von der Hauptstraße heruntergefahren. Seitdem war der Weg voller Furchen, Schlaglöcher, und jedes Mal, wenn der Land Rover darüberfuhr, wirbelte er eine Staubwolke auf, die den Insassen des Fahrzeuges fast den Atem nahm. Vor zwei Tagen hatte Johanna Frankfurt voller Erwartungen verlassen. Jetzt schwand ihr Optimismus, und sie fürchtete, bei dieser schaukligen Fahrt jeden Augenblick auf die Landstraße zu fliegen. Krampfhaft hielt sie sich abwechselnd an Fensterrahmen und Sitzrand fest, überzeugt, diese Fahrt nicht heil zu überstehen.…
