We Must Learn to Sit Together and Talk About a Little Culture

31 Oct 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Sylvia Wynter

£17.99 31 Oct 2011 Paperback Peepal Tree Press Ltd

This seminal collection of critical and historical essays by Sylvia Wynter brilliantly explores a wide range of subjects, including literature, critical discourse, race, class, and gender in relation to cultural production in the Caribbean. Individual essays focus on topics such as Bob Marley's anticolonial song, Jamaican folk arts, and the Spanish epoch of Jamaican history with a pioneering study of Bernardo de Balbuena. Across this range of topics there is a coherent thread of argument in favor of Marxist-humanist discourse that seeks to draw on all strands of Caribbean ethnic heritage while calling for the recognition and overturning of all inequalities between Caribbean peoples in the economic and cultural sphere.

Letters to Pauline

26 Aug 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Stendhal

£7.99 26 Aug 2011 Paperback Hesperus Press Ltd

Determined to take his deeply loved younger sister Pauline's education in hand, Henri Beyle--better known by the most famous of his scores of noms de plume, Stendhal--was obliged to continue her tuition in epistolary fashion on leaving Grenoble. In his letters to her he instructs her in what she should read (Plutarch, Moliere, and Shakespeare); what to study (philosophy, logic, mathematics, and music); whether or not to get married (and to what kind of man); and generally how to enliven the tedium of a French provincial town. At the same time, he encourages her to think for herself--a process that, inevitably, reveals what he thought when thinking for himself.

On Genius

29 Apr 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By John Ruskin

£7.99 29 Apr 2011 Paperback Hesperus Press Ltd

""The whole difference between a man of genius and other men . . . is that the first remains in great part a child, seeing with the large eyes of children, in perpetual wonder, not conscious of much knowledge--conscious, rather, of infinite ignorance."" In addition to founding the discipline of modern art criticism and rescuing from obscurity such cornerstones of art history as J.M.W Turner, John Ruskin wrote prolifically, publishing more than 250 works. Among his many famed theories was a notion that each generation boasts just a few men of genius, who differ from their contemporaries both in social relations and in their attitudes to study and the products of men. Collated here are the gems of this theory, for the benefit both of those fascinated by genius and those who might aspire to this status.

The Book of Probes

25 Mar 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Marshall McLuhan, David Carson

£18.95 25 Mar 2011 Paperback Gingko Press, Inc

Marshall McLuhan was the master of the cryptic aphorism, or 'probe', and believed that the secret of perception lies in the power of words to either sharpen or dull the senses. He reveled in metaphor, allusion, implication and intimation and used probes to compress many of his complex and visionary ideas into a few thought provoking words; posing a new question interested him far more than confirming an idea. His probes push the participant into completing a thought process. The Book of Probes is a collection of Marshall McLuhan's finest words culled from his books, his over 200 speeches, his classes (especially the famed Monday Night Seminars), and from shorter writings he published between 1945 and 1980.

By Suat Karantay

£13.99 15 Dec 2010 Paperback Citlembik Film Video Yapim Ceviri

43 stories written by 30 writers demonstrate how finely the Turkish writer is honing his or her craft and we get a sense of how contemporary Turkish literature is spinning off into new genres and styles. Some of the stories in Volume 11 are very personal to Turkey's recent past as they turn a disturbing mirror on the "troubled" decades of the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's. All of Turkey's writers were affected by the ebb and flow of the turmoil of those years and many of the writers narrate their tales from a landscape that is at once bleak and despairing, In the 1980s Turkey opened its economic and political gates and this too is reflected in the growing "globalization" of the stories. Despite the local color permeating many of the stories, we also see in them the growing willingness to turn a face outside of Turkey's borders as the narratives take on international themes and settings. As did the stories in Volume the stories in this volume reveal important images of Turkey's history and culture, and also hold a mirror to how the art of short-story writing has developed through the years.

The Classical Tradition

28 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT

By Anthony Grafton, Glenn W. Most, Salvatore Settis

£39.95 28 Oct 2010 Hardback Harvard University Press

How do we get from the polis to the police? Or from Odysseus' sirens to an ambulance's? The legacy of ancient Greece and Rome has been imitated, resisted, misunderstood, and reworked by every culture that followed. In this volume, some five hundred articles by a wide range of scholars investigate the afterlife of this rich heritage in the fields of literature, philosophy, art, architecture, history, politics, religion, and science. Arranged alphabetically from Academy to Zoology, the essays--designed and written to serve scholars, students, and the general reader alike--show how the Classical tradition has shaped human endeavors from art to government, mathematics to medicine, drama to urban planning, legal theory to popular culture. At once authoritative and accessible, learned and entertaining, comprehensive and surprising, and accompanied by an extensive selection of illustrations, this guide illuminates the vitality of the Classical tradition that still surrounds us today.

Iliad 10 and the Poetics of Ambush

01 Oct 2010 00:00:00 GMT

By Casey Due, Mary Ebbott

£18.95 01 Oct 2010 Paperback Harvard University, Center for Hellenic Studies

This edition, commentary, and accompanying essays focus on the tenth book of the "Iliad," which has been doubted, ignored, and even scorned. Casey Due and Mary Ebbott use approaches based on oral traditional poetics to illuminate many of the interpretive questions that strictly literary approaches find unsolvable. The introductory essays explain their textual and interpretive approaches and explicate the ambush theme within the whole Greek epic tradition. The critical texts (presented as a sequence of witnesses, including the tenth-century Venetus A manuscript and select papyri) highlight the individual witnesses and the variations they offer. The commentary demonstrates how the unconventional Iliad 10 shares in the oral traditional nature of the whole epic, even though its poetics are specific to its nocturnal ambush plot.

The Lives of the Poets

By Samuel Johnson

£180.00 07 Jul 2010 Hardback Yale University Press

"The Lives of the Poets" was the crowning achievement of Samuel Johnson's rich and varied literary life. Initially planned as a series of rapid-fire prefaces introducing separate volumes on English poets, Johnson's project evolved into a comprehensive biographical and critical survey of English poetry from the time of Cowley to the time of Gray. Giving free rein to his tastes, interests, likes, and dislikes, Johnson produced both a review of his life of reading in English poetry and an extended discursive statement of his immensely influential literary values. This carefully researched three-volume edition of "Lives "presents a definitive text reflecting Johnson's final wishes for its wording, accompanied by notes of value both to general readers and specialists.
