How does new writing emerge and find readers today? Why does one writer's work become famous while another's remains invisible? Making Literature Now tells the stories of the creators, editors, readers, and critics who make their living by making literature itself come alive. The book shows how various conditions—including gender, education, business dynamics, social networks, money, and the forces of literary tradition—affect the things we can choose, or refuse, to read. Amy Hungerford focuses her discussion on literary bestsellers as well as little-known traditional and digital literature from smaller presses, such as McSweeney's. She deftly matches the particular human stories of the makers with the impersonal structures through which literary reputation is made. Ranging from fine-grained ethnography to polemical argument, this book transforms our sense of how and why new literature appears—and disappears—in contemporary American culture.

"West Indian Literature, as a body of work, is a fairly recent phenomenon; and literary criticism has not always acknowledged the diversity of approaches to writing effectively. In Making West Indian Literature poet and critic Mervyn Morris explores examples of West Indian creativity shaping a range of responses to experience, which often includes colonial traces. Appreciating various kinds of making and a number of West Indian makers, these engaging essays and interviews display a recurrent interest in the processes of composition. Some of the prices highlight writer-performers who have not often been examined. This very readable book, often personal in tone, makes a distinctive contribution to the knowledge and understanding of West Indian Literature. "

This volume is a reprint of a book originally published in 1917. Several excellent essays about literature are included. Subjects addressed include literature in relation to war, poverty, sex, prosperity, and business. The following statement is from the Introduction:"This book is an effort to bridge the gulf between literary theory and literary practice. In these days of specialization it is more than ever true that the man who lectures and writes about the craft of writing seldom has the time or the inclination to show, by actual work, that he can apply his principles. On the other hand, the successful novelist, poet, or playwright devotes himself to his craft and seldom attempts to analyze and display the methods by which he obtains his effect, or even to state his opinion on matters intellectual and æsthetic."Now, the professor of English and the literary critic are valuable members of society, and the development of literature owes much to their counsel and guardianship."

Named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Mere Reading argues for a return to the foundations of literary study established nearly a century ago. Following a recent period dominated by symptomatic analyses of fictional texts (new historicist, Marxist, feminist, identity-political), Lee Clark Mitchell joins a burgeoning neo-formalist movement in challenging readers to embrace a rationale for literary criticism that has too long been ignored-a neglect that corresponds, perhaps not coincidentally, to a flight from literature courses themselves. In close readings of six American novels spread over the past century-Willa Cather's The Professor's House, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita, Marilynne Robinson's Housekeeping, Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian and The Road, and Junot Díaz's The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao-Mitchell traces a shifting strain of late modernist innovation that celebrates a species of magic and wonder, of aesthetic “bliss” (as Barthes and Nabokov both coincidentally described the experience) that dumbfounds the reader and compels a reassessment of interpretive assumptions. The novels included here aspire to being read slowly, so that sounds, rhythms, repetitions, rhymes, and other verbal features take on a heightened poetic status-in critic Barbara Johnson's words, “the rigorous perversity and seductiveness of literary language”-thwarting pressures of plot that otherwise push us ineluctably forward. In each chapter, the return to “mere reading” becomes paradoxically a gesture that honors the intractability of fictional texts, their sheer irresolution, indeed the way in which their “literary” status rests on the play of irreconcilables that emerges from the verbal tensions we find ourselves first astonished by, then delighting in.

Literature Now argues that modern literary history is currently the main site of theoretical and methodological reflection in literary studies. Via 19 key terms, the book takes stock of recent scholarship and demonstrates how analyses of particular historical phenomena have modified our understanding of crucial notions like archive, book, event, media, objects, style and the senses. The book not only reveals a rich diversity of subjects and approaches but also identifies the most salient traits of literature and literary studies today. Leading literary critics and historians offer thought-provoking arguments as well as authoritative explorations of the key terms of literary studies providing students as well as scholars with a rich resource for exploring theoretical issues from a historically informed perspective.

The Making of Indian English Literature brings together seventeen well-researched essays of Subhendu Mund with a long introduction by the author historicising the development of the Indian writing in English while exploring its identity among the many appellations tagged to it. The volume demonstrates, contrary to popular perceptions, that before the official introduction of English education in India, Indians had already tried their hands in nearly all forms of literature: poetry, fiction, drama, essay, biography, autobiography, book review, literary criticism and travel writing. Besides translation activities, Indians had also started editing and publishing periodicals in English before 1835. Through archival research the author brings to discussion a number of unknown and less discussed texts which contributed to the development of the genre. The work includes exclusive essays on such early poets and writers as Kylas Chunder Dutt, Shoshee Chunder Dutt, Toru Dutt, Mirza Moorad Alee Beg, Krupabai Satthianadhan, Swami Vivekananda, H. Dutt, and Sita Chatterjee; and historiographical studies on the various aspects of the genre. The author also examines the strategies used by the early writers to indianise the western language and the form of the novel. The present volume also demonstrates how from the very beginning Indian writing in English had a subtle nationalist agenda and created a space for protest literature. The Making of Indian English Literature will prove an invaluable addition to the studies in Indian writing in English as a source of reference and motivation for further research.

Imagining The Now written by Torleif Bo Persson and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2017 with American literature categories.
Imagining the Now considers the permeable relation between aesthetic form and the social uses of literature in order to theorize the relation between the American novel and the "now, " which is always and constitutively in the process of unfolding. I define literary contemporaneity as a site of symbolic contestation that, operating both within a text and in its reception, connects a particular literary work to the social, political, and cultural values that structure the present. Literary contemporaneity cannot, for this reason, be divorced the political implications inherent in rhetoric that seeks to describe social or political change by either consigning an event, social formation, or aesthetic object to the past, or affirming its continued relevance to the present. Such temporalizing judgments operate in historically specific contexts, and within particular ideological frameworks. By interrogating how American literature since 1945 resists, discloses, or participates in such rhetoric, we can begin to tell a literary history that makes the idea of the "period" or the "moment" an object of critical and political scrutiny rather than simply the articulation of historical context. I further argue that literary form can itself generate forms of contemporaneity that are not beholden to conceptions of the present as merely the latest stage on a trajectory of historical unfolding. I do this by looking to moments in which the act of writing, thematically central to all novels under my purview, comes apart from its historical or narrative ground. In the first half of the dissertation, I consider Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man (1952) and Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita (1955). These novels are usually treated as if they belong to separate traditions, but I show that they share a deep investment in the relation between narrative structure and forms of social marginalization. Whereas Ellison ultimately affirms the openness of aesthetic form as a conduit for imagining new forms of sociality, Nabokov positions Humbert's desire for literary immortality as a figure for social and aesthetic stasis. In the second half, I turn to John Edgar Wideman's Philadelphia Fire (1990) and Jennifer Egan's A Visit from the Goon Squad (2010). I consider how these formally innovative novels think with and against contemporary racial and aesthetic formations by engaging with the historiography of sixties activism and eighties conservatism that dominate most accounts of the postwar period. Together, these four novels demonstrate how the American novel since 1945 interrogate the cusp between the contemporary and the historical as a site of political and aesthetic struggle.

Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work.

Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.
