Princeton University Press Heirs to Dionysus
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Foster's principal concern is to document Nietzsche's creative impact on literary modernism... [The book] centers on the critical reinterpretation of three novels, Lawrence's Women in Love, Malraux's Man's Fate, and Mann's Doctor Faustus... Heirs to Dionysus comfortably surpasses most previous attempts to chart the problematic course of Nietzsche's influence and bids fair to set the standard for future work in the field."--David S. Thatcher, Modern Language Quarterly

Lexington Books Literature among the Ruins 19451955 Postwar
Book SynopsisThis collection examines literary criticism in postwar Japan. The contributors analyze the debates that occurred among Japanese intellectuals and highlight the various ideological forces that shaped the countryâs postwar trajectory.Trade ReviewThis collection of essays by distinguished scholars on both sides of the Pacific is an excellent companion volume to The Politics and Literature Debate in Postwar Japanese Criticism, 1945–52. The provocative essays take up the topic of literary criticism in postwar Japan and open it up to rigorous and multifaceted examination. Japanese literary criticism was intensely argumentative during this period, embroiling writers in debates about political commitment, war responsibility, literary autonomy, and human subjectivity. These debates are discussed and contextualized here in admirably lucid prose. This is essential reading for students and scholars of modern Japan, but is also highly recommended to anyone whose reading and thinking touch on the relation of art and politics in the modern world. -- Ayako Kano, University of PennsylvaniaLiterature among the Ruins, 1945–1955 takes up the most vital debates of Japan's immediate postwar period, an era of great hardship that saw profound reflections on literature’s relationship to individual political agency. This collection of critical essays—drawn from leading scholars in both the United States and Japan—illuminates what was at stake then and what remains relevant today. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the relationship between culture and power in the twentieth century. -- Edward Mack, University of WashingtonThis work, together with its companion volume, The Politics and Literature Debate in Postwar Japanese Criticism, 1945–52, fills a substantial lacuna in postwar scholarship on Japan. While the essays collectively address the question of literature, the complex relations literature invariably maintains with history and the political are examined here with remarkable insight. The core notion of ‘literature among the ruins’ helps pave the way for a rethinking of trauma beyond the personal in properly geopolitical terms. -- Richard Calichman, City College of New YorkTable of ContentsIntroduction, Atsuko Ueda, Richi Sakakibara, Michael K.

As a teacher, reader, and writer of poetry who is watching the poetry community fragment and stagnate in unproductive ways, I find Wheeler's study an important contribution to the conversation that I hope will provide a framework by which we may incorporate these many differing methods of performing poetic voice. -- Heidi Czerwiec * North Dakota Quarterly *

Ohio State University Press Constructing NineteenthCentury Religion
Book SynopsisBringing together scholars from literary, historical, and religious studies,Constructing Nineteenth-Century Religioninterrogates the seemingly obvious category of religion. This collection argues that any application of religion engages in complex and relatively modern historical processes. In considering the various ways that nineteenth-century religion was constructed, commodified, and practiced, contributors to this volume speak to each other, finding interdisciplinary links and resonances across a range of texts and contexts. The participle in its title-Constructing-acknowledges that any articulation of nineteenth-century religion is never just a work of the past: scholars also actively construct religion as their disciplinary assumptions (and indeed personal and lived investments) shape their research and findings. Constructing NineteenthCentury Religion newly analyzes the diverse ways in which religion was debated and dep

Ohio State University Press Playing at Narratology
Book SynopsisIn Playing at Narratology Daniel Punday bridges the worlds of digital media studies and narrative studies by arguing that digital media allows us to see unresolved tensions, ambiguities, and gaps in core narrative concepts. Rather than developing new terms to account for web-based storytelling, Punday uses established narrative forms to better understand how digital media exposes faulty gaps in narrative theory. Punday''s Playing at Narratology shows that artists, video game developers, and narrative theorists are ultimately playing the same game. Returning to terms such as narrator, setting, event, character, and world, Playing at Narratology reveals new ways of thinking about these basic narrative concepts-concepts that are not so basic when applied to games and web-based narratives. What are thought of as narrative innovations in these digital forms are a product of technological abilit

Ohio State University Press Antiquarian Voices
Book SynopsisOvid''s Fasti, his poem on the Roman calendar, became especially influential during the fifteenth century as a guide to classical Roman culture. Ovid''s treatment of mythological and astronomical lore, his investigation of anniversaries and customs, and his charting of monuments and history offered humanist poets and intellectuals an abundance of material to unravel. They could identify with Ovid as vates operosus, or hard-working seer-poet, suggesting both researcher and inspired authority. Angela Fritsen''s Antiquarian Voices:The Roman Academy and the Commentary Tradition on Ovid''s Fasti offers the first study of the Renaissance exegesis and imitation of Ovid as antiquarian. Fritsen analyzes the Fasti commentaries by Paolo Marsi (1440-1484) and Antonio Costanzi (1436-1490) as well as the connections between the two works. It situates Ovidian Fasti studies in the Roman Academy under the mentorship of Pomponio Leto. Nowhere c

Ohio State University Press Walker Percy Fyodor Dostoevsky and the Search for
Book SynopsisAlthough Walker Percy named many influences on his work and critics have zeroed in on Kierkegaard in particular, no one has considered his intentional influence: the nineteenth-century Russian novelist Fyodor Dostoevsky. In a study that revives and complicates notions of adaptation and influence, Jessica Hooten Wilson details the long career of Walker Percy. Walker Percy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and the Search for Influence demonstrates-through close reading of both writers'' works, examination of archival materials, and biographical criticism-not only how pervasive and inescapable Dostoevsky''s influence was but also how necessary it was to the distinctive strengths of Percy''s fiction. From Dostoevsky, Percy learned how to captivate his non-Christian readership with fiction saturated by a Christian vision of reality. Not only was his method of imitation in line with this Christian faith but also the aesthetic mode and very content of his narrat

Fordham University Press The Storm at Sea Political Aesthetics in the
Book SynopsisRanging from Leonardo to Hobbes, The Storm at Sea: Political Aesthetics in the Time of Shakespeare argues that it is through an engagement with the problem of aesthetic autonomy that the early modern work most profoundly explores its relation to matters of law, state, sovereignty and political subjectivity.Trade Review"Drawing on a rich and wide-ranging selection of important works from Leonardo da Vinci to Thomas Hobbes's Leviathan, through the plays of Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, and Shakespeare, Christopher Pye makes a powerful case for the existence of an autonomous early modern aesthetic prior to Kant, through readings that are highly attentive to textual detail and theoretically informed by thinkers from philosophy, political theory, and psychoanalysis." -- -Philip Lorenz Cornell University "This is scholarship that does not hesitate to strike out against the errors of earlier critics. Pye goes in chosen directions that prove rewarding." -Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance "A learned, ambitious, sharply argued, and consequential book. In a forceful reconsideration of 'the aesthetic' as itself a site of political thought, Pye is throwing down the gauntlet against the prevailing climate of historicist work in early modern literary criticism, which has placed the Renaissance before the arrival of 'the aesthetic' as a category." -- Drew Daniel Johns Hopkins UniversityTable of ContentsContents List of Figures Acknowledgments Preface Chapter 1: Introduction: Early Modern Political Aesthetics Chapter 2: Leonardo's Hand: Mimesis, Sexuality, and the Polis Chapter 3: Shakespeare Distracted: Aesthetics and Political Foundations from Spanish Tragedy to Hamlet Chapter 4: "To throw out our eyes for brave Othello" Chapter 5: Aesthetics and Absolutism in The Winter's Tale Chapter 6: The Beating Mind: The Tempest, Aesthetics and History Chapter 7: Hobbes and the Hydrophobes: The Fate of the Aesthetic in the Time of the State Notes Bibliography Index
