A Great Novelist, A Learned And Wise Critic, And A Charming Short-Story Writer Can These Three Reside In A Single Person? Yes, But, Of Course, In A Very Few, And E.M. Forster Is Certainly One Of Those Very Few, And That He Is Par Excellence. Any Knowledge Of Modern English Novel Without Even An Acquaintance With Forster Is Absurdly Incomplete. All Of Forster S Six Novels, Perhaps Barring Only Maurice, Have Been And Are Being Printed And Re-Printed In Hundreds Of Thousands Of Copies, And All The Six But Perhaps The Longest Journey Have Been Filmed By Worthy Directors, Such As Lean And Merchant, And The Films Have Received And Are Receiving High And Spontaneous Acclamations. As Said, Forster Is Also An Outstanding Critic And Will Go A Long Way Down The History Of Criticism As Much As He Will Be Remembered As A Highly Fantastic But Excellent Short-Story Writer For A Long Time To Come As He Is Today.This Compendium-Like Book, Split Into Three Volumes, Contains Discussions On All The Six Novels Of Forster Where Angles Fear To Tread, The Longest Journey, A Room With A View, Howards End, Maurice And A Passage To India. Besides, The Study Includes His Twelve Prime Short Stories, And His Critical Acumen And Theories. It Does Not Harbour No, It Carefully Avoids Any Pretension Or Pedantry, But It Comprises Almost All The Matters Relevant To Forsteriana, Plainly But Rather Expatiatingly Treated, So That It Is Expected To Help, Yeoman-Like, Certainly Not The Avant-Garde But The Sophomores. An In-Depth Study Of Forster As A Novelist And As A Critic Provided Herein Adds To The Value Of The Book. Furthermore, Quotations Included In The Appendix, Bibliography And Index Would Serve As Useful Study-Aids For The Readers.

Metaphor is a fascinating and, at the same time, complex phenomenon. It can be approached from a multitude of perspectives, and the linguistic realizations of metaphors vary not only across languages, but also across text genres, cultures, and time. This book reflects such complexity and variability by gathering a collection of studies that adopt different theoretical views and explore the actual uses of metaphors in different text types (literary, folkloric, journalistic, and scientific) and languages (Hungarian, Chinese, French, English, Italian, Latin, and Ancient Greek). By providing the reader with a view of metaphor and current metaphor research which is both diversified and coherent, this volume will provide insights for cognitive linguists, scholars involved in metaphor studies, and more generally readers interested in linguistic variation.

This highly topical book is a concise and accessible account of the relationship between technology and work. Firstly, it reviews and critically assesses a variety of recent approaches to the social and cultural dimensions of technology. Secondly, it examines the implications of these new approaches for existing ideas about the nature of technology and work organization. At the core of much thinking about technology is the assumption that the technical character and capacity of artefacts is given. The enduring image of deus ex machina captures the idea that it is the essential capacity 'within' a technology which, in the end, accounts for the way we organize ourselves, our work and other life experiences. Recent work in the sociology of technology, by contrast, sets out relativist and constructivist accounts of technology, which begin to challenge this central assumption. The Machine at Work includes a reinterpretation of the Luddites; a review of the social processes of development in information technology; a reassessment of theories of the role of technology in work; and an analysis of the common limitations of some constructivist and feminist perspectives on technology. The book argues that only a commitment to a particular conception of constructivism enables the kind of radical rethinking about technology and work relations that is needed. This engaging and informative text will be of interest to students in a range of subject areas - from sociology, organizational theory and behaviour, to industrial relations, management and business studies.

Excerpt from Classical Dictionary: Containing Brief and Accurate Accounts of the Proper Names Mentioned in Classical Literature The Literature and Art of Greece and Rome has not only furnished the models from which all that is best in subsequent literature and art has been formed, but English Literature, both of the past and the present, as well as the literature of all other civilized nations, is overflowing with allusions to the writings of ancient Greek and Latin authors. The great English historians, poets, philosophers, essayists and novelists make constant reference to the Mythology, History, Biography and Geography of the ancients. In Art, representations of classical deities and heroes confront us in every gallery and museum, and modern artists and sculptors find a never-failing treasury of subjects in the myths and legends of the past. Even the newspapers, in the course of their discussion of the topics of the day, make continual use of classical allusions to aid in pointing the useful moral, or adorning the entertaining tale. In ordinary speech, countless classical references and comparisons have become proverbial. It is the intention of this little volume to provide the ordinary reader with brief and concise explanations of the more important of these references, those which are absolutely necessary to a complete comprehension of much that otherwise loses half its force, if, indeed, it be not wholly unintelligible. A popular Handbook of this kind has long been needed. There are great Classical Dictionaries, for the use of scholars and students, admirably complete, and covering the vast ground with a thoroughness that leaves nothing to be desired; but such books contain a great deal, both of fact and discussion, that is of value only to the scholar, and by reason of their very completeness, their diffusiveness, their size and their technicality, are not adapted for the average reader. The present volume is unlike any other existing work in another respect, it includes all the departments of classical allusions, mythological, biographical, historical and geographical. There have been Classical Dictionaries, Mythological Dictionaries and Ancient Atlases, but until now these divisions have never been collected into one comprehensive whole.
