Abstract:

The monograph examines the ways of representing open and closed spaces in such key texts of Russian classics as Leo Tolstoy's novel "Anna Karenina" and F.M. Dostoevsky's novel "The Idiot", and in the translations of these works into English. It is suggested that the spaces described using features encoding certain information about these spaces are presented differently by writers, and these differences become more pronounced when considering works translated into English, which allows us to talk about translation spatial codes. Much attention in the information field of the monograph is paid

Abstract:

This book offers readers a concise introduction to Atwood's published novels and the central themes motivating her writing. The volume starts with an overview of the author's biography and the relationship of her writing to relevant literary traditions. Because Atwood is internationally renowned, many commentaries ignore the Canadian roots of her work. Cooke corrects this oversight by sketching the ways in which her work is shaped by, and has shaped, the Canadian literary scene. As the author of a full-length Atwood biography, Cooke is able to summarize feminist, Canadian nationalist, and post

Abstract:

This chapter considers how Gregory Benford became a scientist-writer by focusing on the two directions that his subsequent fiction will take. As a writer, Benford came up through the science fiction pathway. The goal from the outset was to write serious fiction about the new world that science offered to mankind, and to present, in fictional works, the role of scientists in shaping and understanding that brave new world. Benford published his first novel in 1970, to be followed by a formative period of intense creative activity from the early 1970s to the early 1980s. This chapter examines how

Though he is an enormously popular writer, the complexity and elegance of his works have elicited growing scholarly attention. Through several hundred alphabetically arranged

Abstract:

This chapter discusses Rudyard Kipling's novel Kim, which was published in 1901. The novel tells the story of an Indian-raised Lahore street urchin who becomes both the disciple of a Tibetan Buddhist Lama and a crack British spy. One reason for Kim 's likeability, as Abdul R. JanMohamed puts it, is that ‘the narrator seems to find as much pleasure in describing the varied and tumultuous life of India as Kim finds in experiencing it’. Even the unwilling and the unlikely have—with some notable exceptions—been won over by Kim. However, in 1941, the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges and the Ame

This chapter analyzes the writer Saul Bellow as an anthropological novelist, focusing on his African novel, Henderson the Rain King. Bellow incorporates ethnographic source material, including some from his erstwhile teacher Melville Herskovits, but Henderson is a bumbling caricature of the academic fieldworker. Nevertheless, the novel asks essential anthropological questions about how culture determines human behavior and thought and how cultural patterns change. I compare Bellow’s work with C. P.

This chapter investigates the tensions between the pleasures and discomforts of indulgence in the 1960s and 1970s, an era of growing affluence and consumption, through the work of writer Kaikō Takeshi (1930–1989), who frequently waxed rhapsodically and nostalgically about his favorite foods in essays and novels. In his satiric 1972 serial A New Star, a middle-aged bureaucrat is ordered to literally eat his ministry’s budget surplus through lavish meals and regional excursions to consume local delicacies. The chapter observes that, while the novel can be read as a critique of consumption and go

This chapter discusses the development of the novel genre in Saudi Arabia. The early novels in Saudi Arabia were not considered a form of entertainment and had limited readership because, until recently, poetry was the dominant genre. The development of the novel was slow in the period 1930–1959, and novels tended to focus on cultural and social reform, varying from skepticism about external influences to a more balanced staging of dialogue with the Other. This chapter examines the Saudi novel’s movement toward new modes of innovation and modernism during the period 1959–1970, and 1980–2012, w

Abstract:

Love on the Dole (1933) is the best-remembered novel about the unemployed during the Depression, and has never been out of print. Its working-class author, Walter Greenwood, went overnight from being unemployed in Salford to being a best-selling writer. The novel’s impact was increased by a play adaptation in 1935, and Greenwood proposed a film adaption in 1936, but the British Board of Film Censors pronounced the story too ‘sordid’ and depressing’ to be fit for British cinema audiences. The film had to wait until 1940 when the Ministry of Information allowed this story of pre-war economic and

Abstract:

Ursula K. Le Guin's The Dispossessed is of interest to political theorists partly because of its association with anarchism and partly because it is thought to represent a turning point in the history of utopian/dystopian political thought and literature and of science fiction. Published in 1974, it marked a revival of utopianism after decades of dystopian writing. According to this widely accepted view The Dispossessed represents a new kind of literary utopia, which Tom Moylan calls a "critical utopia."

Known as a science fiction writer for decades, Gibson felt an obvious need to justify Pattern Recognition's present-day sett

But while writing about the sea required careful negotiation of multiple and sometimes conflicting associations,

What is the use of fiction? This question preoccupied writers in the early United States, where many cultural authorities insisted that fiction reading would mislead readers about reality.

The book shows how these writers explored the unique types of speculative knowledge that fiction could create as they sought to harness different varieties of fiction for a range of social and political projects.

The earliest known literary productions by women living in Europe were probably written by French writers. As early as the 12th century, women troubadours in the south of France were writing poems. French women continued writing through the ages, their number increasing as education became more available to women of all classes. And yet, of the great number of works by women writers who preceded the current feminist movement, very few have survived. A few writers such as Marie de France, George Sand, and Simone de Beauvoir became part of the canon. But critics, mostly male, had judged the work
