Joyce and the G-Men - J. Edgar Hoover's Manipulation of Modernism (Hardcover): C. Culleton Joyce and the G-Men - J. Edgar Hoover's Manipulation of Modernism (Hardcover)
C. Culleton
R1,520 Discovery Miles 15 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Several years ago on a whim, Culleton requested James Joyce's FBI file. Hoover had Joyce under surveillance as a suspected Communist, and the chain of cross references that Culleton followed from Joyce's file lead her to obscenity trials and, less obviously, to a plot to assassinate Irish labour leader Philip Larkin. However devoted a great deal of energy to keeping watch on intellectuals and considered literature to be dangerous on a number of levels. Joyce and the G Men explores how these linkages are indicative of the culture of the FBI under Hoover, and the resurgence of American anti intellectualism. MARKET 1: American History; Political History; Communism

"Modernism on File: Writers, Artists, and the FBI, 1920-1950" brings together important new scholarship focused on J. Edgar Hoover's FBI and its institutional presence in shaping and directing American print, film, and art culture. From Harlem to Hollywood, Hoover and his bureau workers were bent on decontaminating America's creativity and this collection looks at the writers and artists who were tagged, tracked, and in some cases, trapped by the FBI. Contributors detail the threatening aspects of political power and critique the very historiography of modernism, acknowledging that modernism was on trial during those years.

Irish Modernism and the Global Primitive (Hardcover): C. Culleton, Maria McGarrity Irish Modernism and the Global Primitive (Hardcover)
C. Culleton, Maria McGarrity
R1,522 Discovery Miles 15 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Through essays written by established and younger scholars, Irish Modernism and the Global Primitive examines the ways a variety of modern Irish writers exploited or surrendered to primitivism and examines the intersection of Irish Modernism and the global rhetoric of the primitive encounter. The twelve essays in this collection focus critical attention on the broader study of global primitive alterities, especially from Africa, from the East, and on extreme representations of "indigenous others" from the New World. Contributors demonstrate how primitivism functions variously as an idealized nostalgia for the past, as a threat of the foreign, or as a potential representation of difference and connection. This collection addresses the ways Ireland's past primitive heritage regularly, though ironically, moves into the Irish present."--BOOK JACKET.
