Satire and Romanticism - S. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Booktok.dk

This remarkable study of the constructive and ultimately canon-forming relationship between satiric and Romantic modes of writing from 1760 to 1832 provides us with a new understanding of the historical development of Romanticism as a literary movement. Romantic poetry is conventionally seen as inward-turning, sentimental, sublime, and transcendent, whereas satire, with its public, profane, and topical rhetoric, is commonly cast in the role of generic other as the un-Romantic mode. This book argues instead that the two modes mutually defined each other and were subtly interwoven during the Romantic period. By rearranging reputations, changing aesthetic assumptions, and re-distributing cultural capital, the interaction of satiric and Romantic modes helped make possible the Victorian and modern construction of ''English Romanticism''.

A Global Doll's House - Julie Holledge - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Booktok.dk

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll''s House , Henrik Ibsen''s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play''s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play''s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play''s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway''s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

Creatural Fictions - David Herman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Booktok.dk

This volume explores how twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary texts engage with relationships between humans and other animals. Written by forward-thinking early-career scholars, as well as established experts in the field, the chapters discuss key texts in the emergent canon of animal narratives, including Franz Kafka''s animal stories, Yann Martel''s The Life of Pi , Zakes Mda''s The Whale Caller , and others. The volume is divided into four main sections. Two period-focused sections center on modernism and on late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction, while two further sections foreground the more general project of theory building in literary animal studies, examining interconnections among concepts of species, sexuality, gender, and genre. The volume also raises issues that extend beyond the academic community, including ethical dimensions of human-animal relationships and the problems of species loss and diminishing biodiversity.

Shakespeare's 'Whores' - K. Stanton - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare''s ''Whores'' examines female sexuality in Shakespeare''s works in the context of the word ''whore,'' historically (and still currently) employed as a weapon against women striving for self-actualization in any realm - political, social, or personal. Erotic expression for Shakespeare''s women finds varying obstacles determined by the genre, or ''poetics'', of the work, which influences its ''politics'', but his poetic references to goddesses illuminate archetypal paths that his female characters may pursue. Each use of the word ''whore'' in Shakespeare''s canon is studied, as are female characters who toil in the sex trade, with but with focus especially on the positive personal and social effects of female sexuality, as represented in several major female characters, from the goddess Venus, to the queen Cleopatra, to the cross-dressing Rosalind, and many others. Drawing on scholarship from various disciplines, this book demonstrates Shakespeare''s relevance to contemporary socio-political issues and points toward new directions for feminism.
