Kurt Vonnegut (Hardcover): Donald E. Morse Kurt Vonnegut (Hardcover)
Donald E. Morse
R825 Discovery Miles 8 250 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Morse argues that Vonnegut deserves acclaim as a pre-eminent post-World War II American story-teller with a sharply critical, satiric vision, who against formidable odds retains his belief in the humanity of man and the sacredness of life. The Guide surveys a vast range of Vonnegut's published works, including all of his novels from Player Piano to Bluebeard. Complete with Chronology, Primary and Secondary Bibliographies, and Index.

The Mythic Fantasy of Robert Holdstock - Critical Essays on the Fiction (Paperback): Donald E. Morse, Kalman Matolcsy The Mythic Fantasy of Robert Holdstock - Critical Essays on the Fiction (Paperback)

Robert Holdstock was a prolific writer whose oeuvre included horror, fantasy, mystery and the novelization of films, often published under pseudonyms. These twelve critical essays explore the varied output of Holdstock by displaying his works against the backdrop of folk and fairy tales, dissecting their spaciotemporal order, and examining them as psychic fantasies of our unconscious life or as exempla of the sublime. The individual novels of the Mythago Wood sequence are explored, as is Holdstock's early science fiction and the Merlin Codex series.

This collection contains a selection from the papers given at the 1989 conference of the International Association for the study of Anglo-Irish Literature. The selection is broadly representative of the truly international nature of the conference, whose delegates came from every continent, and of the study of Irish literature today. It includes essays on Beckett, Joyce, Friel, Yeats, O'Casey, Parker, Clarke, Kinsella, Muldoon, Mahon, Banville, Brian Moore, Edna O'Brien, Swift and Edgeworth, as well as on critical issues, such as the uses of the fantastic in prose and drama, modernism and romanticism, Irish semiotics, social criticisms in contemporary Irish poetry and, especially appropriate for the occasion, the relationship and influence of Hungary and Ireland in one another's literature. Contributors to this volume are Csilla Bertha, Eoin Bourke. Patrick Burke, Martin J. Croghan, Ruth Felischmann, Maurice Harmon, Werner Huber, Thomas Kabdebo, Veronica Kniezsa, Maria Raizis, Aladar Sarbu, Bernice Schrank, Joseph Swann and Andras Ungar. This is the forty-fifth volume of the Irish Literary Studies Series.

Anatomy of Science Fiction (Hardcover, Unabridged edition): Donald E. Morse Anatomy of Science Fiction (Hardcover, Unabridged edition)
Donald E. Morse
R1,399 Discovery Miles 13 990 Out of stock

This wide-ranging collection of essays re-opens the connection between science fiction and the increasingly science-fictional world. Kevin Alexander Boon reminds us of the degree to which the epistemology of science fiction infects modern political discourse. Karoly Pinter explores the narrative structures of utopian estrangement, and Tamas Benyei and Brian Attebery take us deeper into the cultural exchanges between science fiction and the literary and political worlds. In the second half, Donald Morse, Nicholas Ruddick and Eva Federmayer look at the way in which science fiction has tackled major ethical issues, while Amy Novak and Kalman Matolcsy consider memory and evolution as cultural batteries. The book ends with important discussions of East German and Hungarian science fiction by Usch Kiausch and Donald Morse respectively. I envisage that the book will find a market both among academics and as a recommended text to undergraduates as it offers interesting essays on important readers. The tendency for science fiction to be offered as a literature class to science majors is not usually considered, but this book would be particularly appropriate for such a market.
