What caused Englands literary renaissance One answer has been such unprecedented developments as the European discovery of America Yet England in the sixteenth century was far from an expanding nation Not only did the Tudors lose Englands sole remaining possessions on the Continent and thanks to the Reformation grow spiritually divided from the Continent as well but every one of their attempts to colonize the New World actually failedJeffrey Knapp accounts for this strange combination of literary expansion and national isolation by showing how the English made a virtue of their increasing insularity Ranging across a wide array of literary and extraliterary sources Knapp argues that English poets rejected the worldly acquisitiveness of an empire like Spains and took pride in Englands material limitations as a sign of its spiritual strength In the imaginary worlds of such fictions as Utopia The Faerie Queene and The Tempest they sought a grander empire founded on the otherworldly virtues of both England and poetry itself

Highways to Nowhere diagnoses the condition of city transportation in five representative American cities Flint Michigan Dayton Ohio Indianapolis Indiana Atlanta Georgia and Washington DC and finds cases of hardening of the arteries For the past twenty years city state and federal governments have sought in the building of highways in around and through cities the panacea for many problems Instead their highways have only attracted more cars and more pollution into the city and made it easy for the middle class and thus the cities tax base to escape Mass transit systems have not been given a fair chance to compete and the poor are trapped in their own neighborhoods Highways to Nowhere is must reading for everyone who wants his city to survive It is an eloquent plea to citizens and responsible city officials to take everyones transit needs into account and to save our cities from being strangled by their own highways

Explore tips, opinions, and features on Modernist Cult of Ugliness Aesthetic sold at 142.78 $ ; this product is listed in the Books & Magazines category, produced by , and sold by Abebooks.com.
Cult of Ugliness Ezra Pounds phrase powerfully summarizes the ways in which modernists such as Pound TS Eliot Wyndham Lewis and TE Hulme the self styled Men of 1914 responded to the horrid or sordid or disgusting conditions of modernity by radically changing aesthetic theory and literary practices Only the representation of ugliness they protested would produce the new truly beautiful work of art Claiming membership in a cult however playfully was a crucial means of group and selfrepresentation and promotion a defense against personal socioeconomic and artistic marginalization Strategically they dissociated the Beautiful from its traditional troubling embodiment in female beauty and from its more recent association with Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde In effect the deliberate cultivation of ugliness provided the means to displace the misogyny and homophobia which governed individual and artistic responses and utterances This feminist argument takes in texts such as John Ruskins foundational art criticism Eliots uncollected literary journalism Lewiss profascism pamphlets of the 1930s and the city poetry of Pound Conrad Aiken and Langston Hughes Analyses of Whistlers paintings and the poetry of WB Yeats demonstrate that even those who claimed to be the most vigorous champions of Beauty were committed to aesthetic practices that disempowered female figures in order to articulate new truths of male artistic mastery

Discover information, advice, and prices for Learning from Other Worlds Estrangement sold for 25.2 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product is sold by Abebooks.com and made by .
Learning from Other Worlds provides both a portrait of the development of science fiction criticism as an intellectual field and a definitive look at the state of science fiction studies today Its title refers to the essence of cognitive estrangement in relation to science fiction and utopian fictionthe assertion that by imagining strange worlds we learn to see our own world in a new perspective Acknowledging an indebtedness to the groundbreaking work of Darko Suvin and his belief that the double movement of estrangement and cognition reflects deep structures of human storytelling the contributors assert that learningfromotherness is as natural and inevitable a process as the instinct for imitation and representation that Aristotle described in his Poetics In exploring the relationship between imaginative invention and that of allegory or fable the essays in Learning from Other Worlds comment on the fields most abiding concerns and employ a variety of critical approachesfrom intellectual history and genre studies to biographical criticism feminist cultural studies and political textual analysis Among the topics discussed are the works of John Wyndham Kim Stanley Robinson Stanislau Lem HG Wells and Ursula Le Guin as well as the medias reactions to the 1997 cloning of Dolly the Sheep Darko Suvins characteristically outspoken and penetrating afterword responds to the essays in the volume and offers intimations of a further stage in his long and distinguished career This useful compendium and companion offers a coherent view of science fiction studies as it has evolved while paying tribute to the debt it owes Suvin one of its first champions As such it will appeal to critics and students of science fiction utopia and fantasy writing Contributors Marc Angenot Marleen S Barr Peter Fitting Carl Freedman Edward James Fredric Jameson David Ketterer Gerard Klein Tom Moylan Rafail Nudelman Darko Suvin
