Abstract:

In transdisciplinary intersection between Law and Literature, there is the need to approximate concepts, so that the theories that support one area are, to some extent, applicable to the other. This study aims at trying an application of the concept of material truth, which comes from legal studies, to the study of Literature, through its relation to the concepts of mimesis, realism and verisimilitude, used by literary criticism. This study assumes that no one of them is able to fulfil the needs of literary expression, so that an attempt to locate a material truth in Literature will fail too.

Abstract:

The study of literary works involving two or more languages, a phenomenon that has been historically much more abundant than we might think, raises a variety of problems that critics have often minimized or ignored, such as the difficulties that texts written in different languages cause when we want to ascribe them to a particular national literature. This article aims to present and classify this heterogeneous procedure, present in all periods of the history of literature, and to evaluate the various intentions behind it. It studies the forms of literary multilingualism (alternation, confusi

Abstract:

One way in which specific crime fiction texts achieve prominence is through critical discourses which promote those texts’ ‘superior’ realism, valorizing the texts and setting them apart from neighbouring generic narratives. This article goes back to the 1921 analysis by Roman Jakobson which identifies a small number of strategies by which arguments about realism proceed. Particularly important for crime fiction criticism is that approach to realism, described by Jakobson, which focuses on contiguous details in narrative. In contrast to the claims of realism is the analytic concept of verisimi

Abstract:

The rise of the novel is a major aspect of the eighteenth century British literature having a remarkable typology: picaresque, adventure, epistolary, sentimental, of manners, moral, comic, anti-novel. The comic (including satirical) attitude, social concern, moral didacticism, and other thematically textualized aspects – emerging from both picaresque tradition and neoclassical principles – and together with picaresque tradition and neoclassical principles – are responsible for the emergence of verisimilitude as the forming element responsible in turn for the rise of the literary system of the

Uma vez que a narrativa apresenta dois personagens autobiográficos, sendo o jovem similar e estranho à produção deste autor, é necessário comparar tal personagem à obra borgeana de juventude, no tocante ao realismo, engajamento, biografismo e ultraísmo. Verifica que o Borges de 1918 a 1920 não exibe tais concepções literárias, exceto pelo ultraísmo.

Ce tour de pensée ecclésiastique, typique de la synthèse augustinienne de la rhétorique antique et du christianisme, n’est pas seulement un héritage livresque au XVIIe siècle. Il est particulièrement pertinent à la vue des enjeux auxquels est confrontée l’Église catholique : elle doit répondre aux accusations protestantes, qui traitaient la messe de farce ; le théâtre renouv

This change pertains both to the socio-politico-economic life of the people concerned and the contents of the books and the style of the authors' writings. The study is ground-breaking in that it goes beyond common dissection of the structural elements of the books to a synthetic study of their themes, subject matter, character portrayal and setting.

Abstract:

This introductory chapter provides a brief background of three schools of literary criticism: New Criticism, structuralism, and deconstruction. These three schools exposed serious concerns, emphasizing neglected aspects of literature. The chapters in this book focus on genre, realism, and relations with visual art. Concepts of genre figure in any sound literary theory. Meanwhile, chapters on realism demonstrate how the development of representation, far from being one of steadily improving verisimilitude, has gone through several distinct sorts of realism. They distinguish medieval and Renaissance realisms from the realism of pre-modern novels. Finally, chapters on visual art consider how conventions of visual art offer essential parallels with those of literature. The ‘sister arts’ display many family resemblances—obviously so in imagery, less obviously in their strategies of realism. The essays also look at emblems and emblematic poems.

Abstract:

Mitchell’s first two novels are examined as works deploying the medium of imaginative literature for introspection and analysis of his own past. In reverse chronological order they recreate the narrative of his childhood and early adulthood, in the course of which they present a state of the nation critique of early twentieth century Britain. The forthright verisimilitude of the social realism is in keeping with the philosophical nihilism prevailing in the inter-war years, with the political responses of mainstream parties and of radical splinter groups such as the Anarchocommunist Party appearing unable to change society for the better. Mitchell’s technical experimentation with metafiction and intertextuality indicates the scale of his literary ambition, while his proto-feminist sympathies are marked by his reliance on female protagonists.

Abstract:

Guillén de Castro’s dramatic rewriting of “El curioso impertinente” provides a unique window onto the formal differences between prose narrative and theatrical approaches to the representation of perfect friendship. Key to the analysis of this chapter is the inherent hybridity of the Spanish early modern comedia, the tendency within one and the same work to engage in hyperbolic displays of emotional excess alongside more muted representations of feeling that feed an emerging interest in verisimilitude, especially as the basis for a new kind of audience identification within the theater. In practice, Castro´s play dramatizes the stark contrast between the exaggerated discourse of perfect friendship and other modes of personal intimacy not so much as a mode of critique of the Aristotelian ideal, but rather as two strategies that function simultaneously within the same work of dramatic literature.

Abstract:

The introduction provides a concise account of the widespread popularity of figures of speech in early modern literature as well as the humanist schoolrooms in which both writers and readers were trained to recognize and wield these instruments of ornamentation. It suggests that the relative neglect of figures of speech within histories of style as well as Renaissance studies more broadly speaks to literary studies’ quiet internalization of the very aesthetic principle against which poets like Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, and Mary Wroth worked: that good art pretends to be made up of something other than artifice. It argues that a poetic theory that takes seriously experiments with artifice at its most conspicuous challenges us to revise our accounts of literary world-making. Rather than understanding conspicuous artifice as a violation of decorum and verisimilitude, it shows how the indecorous thinking of figures of speech established the parameters of possibility for poetry’s privileged domain of “what may be.” Finally, it argues for a revaluation of the concept of form in literary studies from the perspective of figures of speech.
