by Lynn Freed
A collection of eleven essays by the award-winning author of The Curse of the Appropriate Man reflects on the art of writing and the relationship between fiction and life, in a volume that includes the tales of a scandal created by publication, a meditation on the mother-daughter bond, and the trials of teaching writing in order to pay the bills.
A Practical Reader in Contemporary Literary Theory
by
This book is specifically targeted to present literary criticism through practical examples of essays by literary theorists themselves, on texts both within and outside the literary canon. This introduction to practicing literary theory is a reader consisting of extracts from critical analyses, largely by 20th century Anglo-American literary critics, that truly connects theory and practice by way of specific examples.
Reading Matters
by
The twelve original essays, published here for the first time, are the work of distinguished scholar-critics on both sides of the Atlantic. They cover the range of contemporary literature, from the canonical novels of high modernism and postmodernism through subjects only recently put on the academic agenda, such as cyberpunk and hypertext fiction. In an age that has proclaimed the death of the novel many times over, the editors and contributors argue persuasively for the continued vitality of literary narrative. By responding in ingenious ways to the capabilities of other media, they assert, the novel has enlarged and redefined its territory of representation and its range of techniques and play, while maintaining its viability in the new media assemblage.
