Blake's Night Thoughts (Hardcover, 2005 ed.): J. Tambling Blake's Night Thoughts (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)
J. Tambling
R1,591 Discovery Miles 15 910 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Blake's Night Thoughts" discusses Blake as a poet and artist of night, considering night through graveyard poetry and Young in the eighteenth century, urbanism in the nineteenth and Levinas and Blanchot's writings in the twentieth. Taking "night" as the breakdown of rational progressive thought and of thought based on concepts of identity, the book reads the lyric poetry, some Prophetic works, including a chapter on "The Four Zoas," the illustrations to Young, and Dante, and looks at Blake's writing of madness.

Dickens, Violence and the Modern State - Dreams of the Scaffold (Hardcover): J. Tambling Dickens, Violence and the Modern State - Dreams of the Scaffold (Hardcover)
J. Tambling
R3,023 Discovery Miles 30 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In this reassessment of Dickens, the author draws on the theories of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, in addition to Julia Kristeva and Edward Said, to situate Dickens within the discourses circulating within his society - in particular those associated with modernity. Focusing on Dickens's novels written after 1848, his relationship to modernity can be seen in his treatment of violence, seen in two forms in his writing: that of the state (in the rationalizing powers of Victorian bourgeois modernization), and physical violence, as portrayed in Dickens's criminals and interest in masochism and corpses.

Lost in the American City - Dickens, James, and Kafka (Hardcover, 1st ed): J. Tambling Lost in the American City - Dickens, James, and Kafka (Hardcover, 1st ed)
J. Tambling
R1,596 Discovery Miles 15 960 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In Lost in the American City, Jeremy Tambling looks at European reactions to America and American cities in the nineteenth-century. Dickens visited America in 1842 and his American Notes and Martin Chuzzlewit set the agenda for future discussions of America. Lost in the American City looks at the Dickens legacy through Henry James in The American Scene, through H.G. Wells in The Future in America, and through Kafka, whose novel America (or The Man Who Was Never Heard of Again) tried to re-write Dickens. Lost in the American City explores the changes in American nineteenth century urban culture which made America so different and so impossible to map for the European, and which made American modernity so unreadable and challenging.
