The Letters of Emily Dickinson collects, redates, and recontextualizes all of the poet's extant letters, including dozens newly discovered or never before anthologized. Insightful annotations emphasize not the reclusive poet of myth but rather an artist firmly embedded in the political and literary currents of her time.

Au XIXe siècle, les Révolutions, l¿industrialisation et l¿essor de la presse semblent avoir entraîné un nouveau rapport au Temps et à l¿Histoire. Un fantasme chronique traverse alors l¿art, la peinture, la photographie et le cinéma: l¿obsession d¿une perte, d¿un danger, d¿un ennemi qui ronge les jours. En littérature, un soupçon quant aux théories linéaires d¿un temps vectorisé et uniformément orienté vers un progrès continu semble s¿installer: fascination pour tous les «retours» (le souvenir, l¿hérédité, l¿héritage, l¿inconscient), tentatives de recherche d¿un «hors-temps» (la crise, l¿ermitage, le rêve, l¿utopie, l¿hallucination), inquiétude devant toutes les formes d¿accélération (la mode, la vitesse, le développement technique) ou de dissolution (l¿instantané, le fragment). De nouveaux genres (la chronique, le poème en prose) ainsi que des types originaux de mise en récit et de maîtrise de chronos vont s¿expérimenter dans les écrits réalistes, naturalistes, décadents et symbolistes.

Strejken var i store dele af det 19. og 20. århundrede arbejderbevægelsens dominerende protest- og modstandsform. Med udgangspunkt i analyser af Emile Zolas Germinal, Martin Andersen Nexøs Den store kamp og John Steinbecks Det ukuelige sind viser Nicklas Freisleben Lund, hvordan virkelighedens arbejdskampe mellem 1850 og 1950 bliver et centralt motiv i vestlig litteratur og selve udgangspunktet for en særlig romanform - strejkeromanen.Litteraturhistorikeren dr.phil. Henrik Yde: ”Med sin 53 sider lange analyse af "Pelle Erobreren"s tredje bind, "Den store Kamp", giver bogen den skarpeste behandling af denne roman, der er set siden 1975…" Nicklas Freisleben Lund er litteraturforsker ved Syddansk Universitet og kritiker ved Jyllandsposten. Han modtog i 2019 Arbejderhistorieprisen for sin ph.d.-afhandling om strejken og romanen. I ambivalent kamp er en bearbejdet udgave af denne.

The book provides an overview of the evolution of phasal periphrases from Latin to Spanish, from the perspective of diachronic construction grammar, grammaticalization and discourse traditions. It also addresses the periphrastic character of phasal structures, as well as aspects that have been marginalized to date (chains of periphrases, possibility of double passivization or dialectal variation).

'A guide to the mind of one of the great English novelists of the last half-century' Guardian'Like hearing the voice of an old friend' Observer'Extraordinary . . . a quality of timelessness and prescience' New Statesman, Book of the Year'Magical . . . Here we meet not just Mantel the Cromwell-catcher, but Mantel the quill-sharp critic of contemporary life' The Times, Book of the YearTHE MAGNIFICENT FINAL BOOK FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE WOLF HALL TRILOGYAs well as her celebrated career as a novelist, Hilary Mantel long contributed to newspapers and journals, unspooling stories from her own life and illuminating the world as she found it. This strand of her writing was an integral part of how she thought of herself. 'Ink is a generative fluid,' she explains. 'If you don't mean your words to breed consequences, don't write at all.' A Memoir of My Former Self collects the finest of this writing over four decades. Mantel's subjects are wide-ranging. She discusses nationalism and her own sense of belonging; our dream life flopping into our conscious life; the mythic legacy of Princess Diana; the many themes that feed into her novels - revolutionary France, psychics, Tudor England - and other novelists, from Jane Austen to V. S. Naipaul. She writes about her father and the man who replaced him; she writes fiercely and heartbreakingly about the battles with her health she endured as a young woman, and the stifling years she found herself living in Saudi Arabia. Here, too, is a selection of her film reviews - from When Harry Met Sally to RoboCop - and, published for the first time, her stunning Reith Lectures, which explore the process of art bringing history and the dead back to life.From her unique childhood to her all-consuming fascination with Thomas Cromwell that grew into the Wolf Hall Trilogy, A Memoir of My Former Self reveals the shape of Hilary Mantel's life in her own dazzling words, 'messages from people I used to be.' Compelling, often very funny, always luminous, it is essential reading from one of our greatest writers.'A smart, deft, meticulous, thoughtful writer, with such a grasp of the dark and spidery corners of human nature' Margaret Atwood'Mantel was a queen of literature . . . her reign was long, varied and uncontested' Maggie O'Farrell

This book examines organizations of consumerist economics, which developed at the turn of the twentieth century in the West and at the turn of the twenty-first century in China, in relation to modernist poetics. Consumerist economics include the artificial ¿person¿ of the corporation, the vertical integration of production, and consumption based upon desire as well as necessity. This book assumes that poetics can be understood as a theory in practice of how a world works. Tracing the relation of economics to poetics, the book analyzes the impersonality of indirect discourse in Qian Zhongshu and James Joyce; the impressionist discourses of Mang Ke and Ezra Pound; and discursive difficulty in Mo Yan and William Faulkner. Bringing together two notably distinct cultures and traditions, this book allows us to comprehend modernism as a theory in practice of lived experience in cultures organized around consumption.
