This book, first published in 1990, combines an introduction to speech-act theory as developed by J. L. Austin with a survey of critical essays that have adapted Austin's thought for literary analysis. Speech-act theory emphasizes the social reality created when speakers agree that their language is performative - Austin's term for utterances like: "we hereby declare" or "I promise" that produce rather than describe what they name. In contrast to formal linguistics, speech-act theory insists on language's active prominence in the organization of collective life. The first section of the text concentrates on Austin's determination to situate language in society by demonstrating the social conventions manifest in language. The second and third parts of the book discuss literary critics' responses to speech-act theory's socialisation of language, which have both opened new understandings of textuality in general and stimulated new interpretations of individual works. This book will be of interest to students of linguistics and literary theory.

This study delves into the role of language and speech in Shakespeare's Lancastrian tetralogy: Richard II, 1 Henry IV, 2 Henry IV, and Henry V. It aims to provide an integrated analysis of how language is conceived and utilized across these plays, exploring both thematic and dramaturgical elements. The discussion challenges the notion of the tetralogy's disunity, presenting evidence for its aesthetic cohesion, despite initial objections based on Shakespeare’s evolving vision for the plays. The study adopts a dual approach, balancing the unity of the tetralogy with the integrity of each individual play, supported by a comprehensive methodology that combines linguistic philosophy, particularly the concept of speech acts developed by J.L. Austin. In analyzing the plays, the study introduces three key metaphors to frame the exploration of language’s evolution in the tetralogy: the shift from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, the story of the Tower of Babel, and the Biblical Fall. These metaphors help articulate the moral and linguistic transformations seen in the characters, especially in their use of speech to assert authority, control, and identity. Austin’s speech act theory provides a foundational framework for examining how utterances in these plays are more than just verbal expressions but are active forces shaping the narrative and characters’ relationships. Through this lens, the study not only reflects on Shakespeare's manipulation of language but also on its dramatic function in creating meaning and action within the play's political and social contexts. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1979.

In a recent poll of practicing art critics, 75 percent reported that rendering judgments on artworks was the least significant aspect of their job. This is a troubling statistic for philosopher and critic Noel Carroll, who argues that that the proper task of the critic is not simply to describe, or to uncover hidden meanings or agendas, but instead to determine what is of value in art. Carroll argues for a humanistic conception of criticism which focuses on what the artist has achieved by creating or performing the work. Whilst a good critic should not neglect to contextualize and offer interpretations of a work of art, he argues that too much recent criticism has ignored the fundamental role of the artist's intentions. Including examples from visual, performance and literary arts, and the work of contemporary critics, Carroll provides a charming, erudite and persuasive argument that evaluation of art is an indispensable part of the conversation of life.

This volume on Luke-Acts as with all titles in the Texts@Contexts Series highlights readings that make explicit the diverse contemporary contexts of biblical interpreters. The global spread of contributors includes scholarly voices from South Africa, South America and Hong Kong, as well as from the United States. The chapters are organized around four themes. The first examines interpretations of Jesus, looking at his childhood, contemporary context, and his teaching – including whether Jesus' sympathetic response to disease and pain might be used to advocate euthanasia. The second examines social categories: gender, race, and class, including a political and racialized reading of the history of diasporic Black America as a model for reading Acts as a diasporic history. The third examines issues of empire and resistance. The final part looks at society and spirituality, with a focus on modern contemporary contexts.
