réf. B9798765109793Paperback / softback. New. Tapping into the emergence of scholarly comedy studies since the 2000s this collection brings new perspectives to bear on the Dostoevskian light side. Funny Dostoevksy demonstrates how and why Dostoevsky is one of the most humorous 19th-century authors even as he plumbs the depths of the human psyche and the darkest facets of European modernity. The authors go beyond the more traditional categories of humor such as satire parody and the carnivalesque to apply unique lenses to their readings of Dostoevsky. These include cinematic slapstick and the body in Crime and Punishment the affective turn and hilarious and deadly impatience in Demons and ontological jokes in Notes from Underground and The Idiot. The authors – coincidentally all women including some of the most established scholars in the field alongside up-and-comers – address gender and the marginalization of comedy culminating in a chapter on Dostoevsky's "funny and furious" women and explore the intersections of gender and humor in literary and culture studies. Funny Dostoevksy applies some of the latest findings on humor and laughter to his writing while comparative chapters bring Dostoevsky's humor into conjunction with other popular works such as Chaplin’s Modern Times and Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton. Written with a verve and wit that Dostoevsky would appreciate this boldly original volume illuminates how humor and comedy in his works operate as vehicles of deconstruction pleasure play and transcendence. paperback

réf. B9781501382390Paperback / softback. New. Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission diffusion and literary survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë’s new romance narrative in German translation adaptation and imitation as it involved multiple agents from writers and playwrights to readers publishers illustrators reviewers editors adaptors and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women’s freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines the multiple German instantiations of Brontë’s novel—four translations three abridgments three adaptations for general readers nine adaptations for younger readers plays farces and particularly the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many adaptations—evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet precisely this multiplicity repetition redundancy and proliferation combined with the romance narrative’s intrinsic appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women’s franchise enabled the cultural diffusion impact and long-term survival of Jane Eyre as German reading. Though its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures Jane Eyre in German Lands unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field. paperback
réf. B9798765119433Paperback / softback. New. This study bridges the chronological divide between the Romantic era and the first six decades of the 20th century interpreting John Cowper Powys 1872–1963 as a major under-recognized contributor to the cultural transmission of Romanticism. Kim Wheatley’s John Cowper Powys and the Afterlife of Romanticism uncovers the surprising extent to which this multi-faceted Modernist-era author reworked key concerns of the Romantic poets. Wheatley shows how Powys’s prose rewritings of Romantic poetry contribute to the story of the posthumous life of Romanticism especially its environmental legacy. In particular the book expands our understanding of the early 20th-century reception of William Wordsworth and John Keats. Wheatley argues that Powys anticipates and presciently interrogates recent revisionary critical approaches to the Romantics primarily materialist eco-critical approaches and therefore invites a fresh environmentalist criticism open to the transcendental and the supernatural. Chapters range across Powys’s extensive oeuvre investigating his treatment of Wordsworth and Keats in his works of fiction autobiographical writings popular philosophical books and essays of literary appreciation including his Autobiography 1934 his four major Wessex novels – Wolf Solent 1929 A Glastonbury Romance 1932 Weymouth Sands 1934 and Maiden Castle 1936 – and his later Welsh historical novels Owen Glendower 1941 and Porius 1951. Wheatley demonstrates how Powys uniquely combines sense-based nature-worship the leveling of animate and inanimate and care for disabled human beings along with mystical and magical themes into an all-encompassing ecological vision more capacious than any imagined by the Romantics themselves. paperback

réf. B9781501388439Paperback / softback. New. A study of how Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels respond to and represent the world through characters that are profoundly limited in their understanding of the systems that bind them. How has a writer known principally for his contained domestic novels come to represent the most dynamic elements of world literature In Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature Chris Holmes expands our understanding of how world literature engages with the most pressing crises of the 20th and 21st centuries by examining Ishiguro’s fascination with characters who are profoundly constrained in their ability to understand global systems to which they are subject. Rather than following the established pattern of so-called global novels which crisscross the planet exhibiting a knowing cosmopolitanism Ishiguro’s fictional engagement with the world comes principally in the form of characters who are cut off from the global systems that abuse them. By examining the ways in which Ishiguro foregrounds the in-process thinking of those who fail to comprehend their place in the flow of politics culture and ideas Holmes positions Ishiguro as the great chronicler of everyday lives and as such prepares a mode of reading world literature that questions the assumptions for how we live and think with others when each of us is deeply limited. paperback
réf. B9781501374197Paperback / softback. New. This open access book positions itself at the intersection of world literature studies literary anthropology and philosophical critiques of ‘world’ and ‘globe’ concepts. Doing so it investigates how literature imagines and shapes worlds for its readers through linguistically specific cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamics both at the level of textual engagement and on a material level of textual production and circulation. Moving from textual analyses in Part One – ‘Worlds in Texts’ – to combined analyses of texts media and agents in the literary field in Part Two – ‘Texts in Worlds’ – the concerns of these nine chapters range from multilingualism genre and style to material forms such as the little magazine or the scrapbook archive and finally to activities such as travel as a writing profession and literary promotion. With this focus on practice – which geographically engages with Constantinople China Russia western Europe North America southern Africa and India – contributors demonstrate methodologically how world literature studies can bring the empirically specific detail to bear on global modes of analysis. It is precisely through such a dual optic that the world-making capacity of literature becomes apparent.
