Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Academic Paper from the year 2022 in the subject American Studies - Literature, , course: PhD, language: English, abstract: The present study deals with Christopher Isherwood's manipulation of the concept of rebellion in his most prominent novel 'A Single Man' (1964). The significance of the current paper is to analyze the novel and explore the theme of rebellion. It may also be useful for those students who have a lack of understanding of this theme to find a simple summary that will benefit them in their studies similar to this topic. The Isherwoodian novel depicts various stages of rebellion against the chaos of values, the middle-class conventions and against the authoritative moral standards that make certain forms of conduct appear right. There is a quest for spiritual growth and self-development in Isherwood's novel; therefore, the spirit of rebellion becomes milder as the novelist becomes older and more mature.The aim of this research is to trace Isherwood's experimentation with the concept of rebellion. As the hypothesis of this research goes by, the forms he introduces into it change the conventional understanding of rebellion from a punishable law-breaking act into an instrument to deal with the difficult problems then to raise man to the occasion. Isherwood proves that rebellion is a constructive, not destructive, act whose role necessitates the improvement of the state and the individual.A Single Man, presents a single day in the life of a lonely aged man who refuses life and locks himself in a small room thinking that the smallness of the room may protect him from the outside world. The conclusions end the study with Isherwood's success in creating art works that suggest the possibility to change rebellion from a retributive act of disobedience into a positive act against tyranny, calling for the renovation of the modern society through a return to the way of God.…

First Edition. Isherwood, Christopher. A Single Man, 1964, presents a sustained literary examination of gay male identity, grief, and daily life in the United States at a time when homosexuality remained socially stigmatized and legally marginalized. The novel follows George, a fifty eight year old English expatriate and college professor, in the aftermath of the death of his partner Jim, offering a rare mid twentieth century portrayal of same sex partnership defined by emotional depth and intellectual interiority. Isherwood constructs George's experience through close attention to thought and perception, rendering grief not as spectacle but as continuous presence within ordinary routines. Published during a period of expanding civil rights discourse in the United States, the work contributes to early literary representations of queer life that foreground psychological realism and human dignity rather than caricature or marginalization. Isherwood, Christopher. A Single Man. New York: Simon and Schuster, 1964. First edition. 186 pages. The novel employs a stream of consciousness narrative mode to trace a single day in George's life, integrating memory, loss, and social interaction within a compressed temporal frame. Isherwood, already established through earlier works addressing expatriate and queer experience, here focuses on domestic and emotional realities of a same sex relationship and its absence. Issued in the mid 1960s, the novel aligns with broader shifts in public conversation about individual rights and identity, though explicit legal recognition of same sex relationships remained decades away. Its emphasis on interior life and mourning distinguishes it within the development of LGBTQ literature, offering a narrative centered on continuity of attachment rather than transgression. The work later served as the basis for a film adaptation directed by Tom Ford, with Colin Firth portraying George, extending its cultural reach into twenty first century interpretations of queer history. Black boards with silver spine title, original dust jacket with mid century design elements. Minor shelfwear to jacket; textblock remains bright and tight. Overall very good.…
