The Gothic Novel: A Selection of Critical Essays (Casebook)
DescriptionThis volume in the "novels" section of casebooks surveys the rise and development of the Gothic tale of mystery and horror, from the mid-19th century to the eve of the Victorian period. The editor's introduction traces the development of the genre and its relation to contemporary aesthetic and literary movements and assesses the 18th and 19th centuries and the modern critical responses to it. Particular attention is given to the cardinal place in this literary genre of Walpole's "Castle of Otranto", Beckford's "Vathek", Lewis' "The Monk", Ann Radcliffe's "Mysteries of Udolpho" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein".
Lefanu's Gothic: Politics, Culture, Narrative
DescriptionSage concentrates on the development in Le Fanu of hybrid forms, examining closely the corpus of this author's work from the point of view of narrative methods and implied reader positions, and relating these throughout to contemporary, cultural politics from the 1830s to the 1870s. The book contains separate discussions of the early work of Uncle Silas, and "Carmilla"; and gives space to the unpublished romances, which are often neglected.
The Poetic Achievements of Donald Davie and Charles Tomlinson: Expanding Vision, Voice, and Rhythm in Late Twentieth-Century English Poetry
List Price: Price: $119.95 DescriptionDonald Davie and Charles Tomlinson are both poets who sought to explore the wider possibilities of an English poetic. This work demonstrates how, in opposition to their Movement's perceived inwardness, Davie and Tomlinson continued to explore the legacies of international modernism. Both Donald Davie and Charles Tomlinson were attracted by the multivocalism of Pound. Revisiting the Poundian wing of modernism, they became interested in the Black Mountain Poets and the Objectivists. William Carlos Williams, another transatlantic poet, became a major influence on Tomlinson and this is demonstrated in this book. The study provides a series of close readings. I have paid special attention to Davie's long, generally neglected, poems: "A Sequence to Francis Parkman" (1961), the "Six Epistles to Eva Hesse" (1970) and "Three for Water Music" (1981). The poems in question also reveal the increasing importance of Davie as a Christian poet. In Tomlinson's case, I trace a development from "A Peopled Landscape" (1963), through to "American Scenes" (1966) and "Notes from New York" (1984). The final chapter of this book concentrates on more recent poetry, including "Skywriting" (2003). In particular, I have sought to demonstrate the significance of Tomlinson's 'Ligurian' poems. Both Davie and Tomlinson pay special heed to how the writing reveals a 'journeying aesthetic'. Hence, their poetry explores place, frontiers and the overlap of poetic cultures.
