Radical Empiricists presents a new history of criticism in the first half of the twentieth-century, against the backdrop of the modernist crisis of meaning. Our received idea of modernist criticism is that its novelty lay in being very empirical: critics believed in looking closely at words on the page. Such close reading has since been easy to ridicule but my book seeks to consider whether this is fair: have we, in the rush either to dismiss, or even to defend, the idea of close reading, often failed to look closely at what it involves in practice? Against this oversight, Radical Empiricists turns close reading back on itself, proposing some innovative readings of the prose of five major modernist poet-critics: I.A. Richards, T.S. Eliot, William Empson, R.P. Blackmur, and Marianne Moore. The book is divided into two parts, preceded by an introduction that explores what these five writers share: a radical self-consciousness about the key critical concept, 'meaning'. Part I, 'How to read', considers the prose techniques of Eliot, Richards and Empson as they push at the boundaries of verbal analysis in other disciplines: experimental psychology and anthropology, classical commentary and textual criticism. Part II introduces Blackmur and Moore, alongside Empson, and takes a more polemical look at how their critical styles defy various modernist orthodoxies about 'how not to read' (for example, that paraphrase always destroys poetic meaning). Many of these orthodoxies remain current: re-visiting their history, and attending to the rich detail of critical prose styles, can allow us to lift some old, unreflective constraints on our ways of knowing about poems.

In a world clamoring for conformity, rock and roll emerged as a defiant roar, a clarion call to embrace individuality and break free from societal constraints. This book is an homage to the pioneers and visionaries who dared to defy convention and forge their own paths, leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of popular culture. Through the stories of these iconic figures, we embark on a journey that spans decades and genres, exploring the raw power of rock and roll to ignite change, inspire movements, and heal wounds. We witness the birth of rock and roll in the energetic dance halls of the 1950s, where Elvis Presley's hip-swaying moves and Chuck Berry's infectious rhythms captivated audiences and shattered norms. We follow the evolution of rock music through the psychedelic experimentation of the 1960s, where Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin pushed the boundaries of sound and consciousness. We witness the rise of punk rock in the 1970s, a sonic rebellion led by The Ramones and Patti Smith, who challenged the status quo with their raw energy and unapologetic lyrics. The journey continues through the MTV era of the 1980s, where music videos became an art form and bands like Guns N' Roses and Madonna redefined the concept of stardom. In the 1990s, grunge music emerged from the underground, led by Nirvana and Pearl Jam, giving voice to a generation disillusioned with the mainstream. Throughout these eras and beyond, rock and roll has remained a vital force, constantly evolving and adapting to the changing times. This book delves into the creative process of songwriting, the challenges of navigating the music industry, and the profound impact that rock and roll can have on our lives. More than just a musical genre, rock and roll is a cultural phenomenon that has shaped generations. It is a soundtrack to our lives, a source of comfort in times of darkness, and a beacon of hope for a better future. This book is an invitation to join the global community of rock and roll enthusiasts, united by their love for this transformative art form. If you like this book, write a review!

""Outsider art - the so-called untrained style of those who are self-taught - has enjoyed a recent surge in popularity. Dan Prince, who has been studying and collecting this art form for over twenty-five years, thinks perhaps it is time to reexamine some of our beliefs about art. Passing in the Outsider Lane takes a look at the true art experiences of twenty-one artists. Many of these artists have been dismissed as insane, unschooled, or childish. Prince's compassionate and insightful profiles of these individuals allow us to share in their environments, their life stories, their creative processes, and their feelings about art."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Inspiration for the 2024 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical! Over 50 years of an iconic classic! The international bestseller-- a heroic story of friendship and belonging. No one ever said life was easy. But Ponyboy is pretty sure that he's got things figured out. He knows that he can count on his brothers, Darry and Sodapop. And he knows that he can count on his friends—true friends who would do anything for him, like Johnny and Two-Bit. But not on much else besides trouble with the Socs, a vicious gang of rich kids whose idea of a good time is beating up on “greasers” like Ponyboy. At least he knows what to expect—until the night someone takes things too far. The Outsiders is a dramatic and enduring work of fiction that laid the groundwork for the YA genre. S. E. Hinton's classic story of a boy who finds himself on the outskirts of regular society remains as powerful today as it was the day it was first published. "The Outsiders transformed young-adult fiction from a genre mostly about prom queens, football players and high school crushes to one that portrayed a darker, truer world." —The New York Times "Taut with tension, filled with drama." —The Chicago Tribune "[A] classic coming-of-age book." —Philadelphia Daily News A New York Herald Tribune Best Teenage Book A Chicago Tribune Book World Spring Book Festival Honor Book An ALA Best Book for Young Adults Winner of the Massachusetts Children's Book Award
