Blackwell Online - Books : Literary Criticism

By George MacLennan

£34.50 02 Feb 2012 Hardback Associated University Presses

Throughout history a number of writers have given utterance to their own extreme experiences of mental breakdown and madness. In a chronological study that ranges in time and place from medieval England and renaissance Italy to nineteenth-century France, George MacLennan examines the work of eight such writers, poets, or autobiographers, both well known and obscure: Thomas Hoccleve, Torquato Tasso, James Carkesse, John Bunyan, George Trosse, William Cowper, John Clare, and Gerard de Nerval.

Michael Foucault once asked the tantilizing (sic) question, "How can language apply a single and identical discourse to poetry and madness?" Lucid Interval concerns itself with this question, broaching it in its cultural and historical dimensions and broadening its terms of reference to include the relationship between subjective writing, literature, and madness. While it is primarily concerned with modes of literary writing, this study draws on a growing body of research into the history of madness and its treatment, addressing topics in the fields of psychoanalytic theory as well as religious, social, and medical history.

In recent years the topic of madness has received an increasing amount of attention from critics and historians. As one historian has complained, however, the experience of madness itself remains exiled to the margins of knowledge. No less importantly, no study yet seriously addressed the phenomenon to which Foucault drew attention in the early 1960s, namely the emergence in Western culture of a subjective literature of madness. This study seeks to comprehend the voices of those exponents of inner crisis and of madness who have expressed themselves in writing. It further considers the cultural conditions under which their discourses, in certain significant instances, acquire the status of "literature."

MacLennan approaches the eight writers from a broadly sociohistorical viewpoint and takes into account relevant biographical and medical evidence, where available, examining their situations as revealed or mediated by their writings. Through a series of detailed analyses, he argues that these writings bear witness to a progressively increasing degree of psychological inwardness in Western culture. This is a process that affects both how madness is experienced by the individual and how it is expressed in subjective writing. By the late eighteenth century, madness becomes, for a significant number of writers and artists, an intimately interiorized condition, one which implicates their entire affective life. It is this subjectivized and "existential" madness that, in the Romantic period and subsequently, has been taken to express an "inner truth" in an increasingly secularized and alienating state of society.

In taking these developments into account, Lucid Interval is able to arrive at a fresh understanding of the appearance in the modern period of such figures as Clare and de Nerval--writers who suffer madness as an inner, subjective catastrophe but who, in the midst of that experience, are able to explore it creatively, so producing a "literature of madness," which is a new phenomenon in itself and which sets a troubling precedent for modern culture.

Reading More Than Lolita in Tehran

By Fatemeh Keshavarz

£27.00 15 Jan 2012 Network Resource The University of North Carolina Press

In a direct, frank, and intimate exploration of Iranian literature and society, scholar, teacher, and poet Fatemeh Keshavarz challenges popular perceptions of Iran as a society bereft of vitality and joy. Her fresh perspective on present day Iran provides a rare insight into this rich culture alive with artistic expression but virtually unknown to most Americans. She warns against the rise of what she calls the New Orientalist narrative, which thrives on stereotype and prejudice and is often tied to current geopolitical conflict rather than an understanding of Iran. She offers a lively critique of the recent best-seller Reading Lolita in Tehran, which she says epitomizes this New Orientalist attitude. Blending in firsthand glimpses of her own life Keshavarz paints a portrait of Iran depicting both cultural depth and intellectual complexity.

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.

Far from being a unique, defining property of the confessional poets, confessionalism is a central trope of American literature. This book examines confessional writing not as a private, apolitical art, but rather one that demonstrates an engagement with the politics of literary influence, of gender relations, and of American culture more broadly.

By Lozang Jamspal (Department of Religion, Columbia University)

£29.00 01 Sep 2011 Hardback The University Press Group Ltd

This is a study and translation of the Mahayana Sutra, Bodhisattvagocara, which contains one of the only Buddhist teachings extant on what might be called a "Buddhist theory of national defense." It contains a dialogue between Sakyamuni Buddha and the Nirgrantha sage, Satyaka, who is revealed at the end to be a bodhisattva of high attainment. The text has been seminal in the ethical reflections of generations of Indian and Tibetan Buddhists, though it was not well known in East Asia.

29 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Juanita Feros Ruys, John O. Ward

£37.99 29 Jul 2011 Hardback Saint Martin's Press Inc.

Abelard was one of the greatest thinkers of the twelfth century, a man of towering brilliance and arrogance, but his poetic works written late in life for his wife Heloise and son Astrolabe reveal a different and more humble man. In the "Planctus" and the "Carmen ad Astralabium" we see a man newly coming to terms with the life around him, expressing a simple but heartfelt piety, raging against social injustices and the exploitation of the poor, and re-evaluating the importance of rhetoric and education. Most significantly, we find a man struggling to comprehend, through poems written to the wife and child he abandoned, the divine mysteries of love, relationships, and family.

America in an Arab Mirror

01 Jul 2011 00:00:00 GMT

By Kamal Abdel-Malek, Mouna El Kahla

£21.99 01 Jul 2011 Paperback Palgrave Macmillan

This distinguished anthology presents for the first time in English travel essays by Arabic writers who have visited America in the second half of the century. The view of America which emerges from these accounts is at once fascinating and illuminating, but never monolithic. The writers hail from a variety of viewpoints, regions, and backgrounds, so their descriptions of America differently engage and revise Arab pre-conceptions of Americans and the West. The country figures as everything from the unchanging Other, the very antithesis of the Arab self, to the seductive female, to the Other who is both praiseworthy and reprehensible.

In the earliest extant works of Greek literature, Zeus reigns supreme in the Olympian hierarchy. However, scattered and scanty though they may be, there are allusions to threats of rebellion which challenge Zeus' supremacy. This book examines these passages, drawn from Homer, Hesiod and the "Homeric Hymns", to offer some new interpretations.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Edgar Mittelholzer's birth, this wide-ranging collection assembles recent essays on Mittelholzer as a pioneering Caribbean modernist, critical overviews of his published works throughout the past 50 years, and the reflections of his contemporaries such as Frank Collymore, George Lamming, and A. J. Seymour. Biographical accounts of the author's conflicted life--including one by Mittelholzer's widow, Jacqueline Ward--provide an important background to the literature. Arguing for the continuing relevance of his fiction and its place in the Caribbean canon, this comprehensive compilation presents a rewarding exploration of the novelist's life and literary achievement.

Contributors discuss a variety of engrossing subjects: documents of early exploration and diplomacy, including Columbus's texts and Amerigo Vespucci's reports of his experiences in America; the surprisingly large role that letters played in the success of the Jesuit order in the seventeenth century; English letter-writing manuals that provide model letters to be imitated while offering a vivid view into a cross section of lived experience; epistolary travel writings; and letter-writing instruction in nineteenth-century America, among other topics.

He who is quick to believe that he has thrown away his benefits, does really throw them away; but he who presses on and adds new benefits to his former ones, forces out gratitude even from a hard and forgetful breast. In the face of many kindnesses, your friend will not dare to raise his eyes; let him see you whithersoever he turns himself to escape from his remembrance of you; encircle him with your benefits.
