Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This moving novel teases us with the question of what Dickens' Pip
might have been like if he had grown up in the American South of
the 1960s and 1970s and faced the explosive social issues that
galvanized the world in those decades: racial injustice, a war
abroad, women's and gay rights, class struggle. A guilty encounter
with an escaped felon, a summer spent working for an eccentric man
with a mysterious past, conflicted erotic feelings for his
employer's niece and nephew these events set the stage for a
journey of sexual and moral discovery that takes Newt Seward to New
England, Rome, and Paris all before returning home to confront his
life's many expectations and surprises. Furnace Creek effortlessly
combines elements of coming-of-age story, novel of erotic
discovery, Southern Gothic fiction, and detection-mystery plot.
Written with a natural storyteller's gift of imagination, it leaps
the frame of Dickens' masterpiece to capture the emotional
intensity of characters whose lives will haunt the reader beyond
the page.
This study argues that modern fiction, from Kate Chopin and
Virginia Woolf to William Faulkner and Doris Lessing, surges with
libidinal currents. The most powerful of these fictions are not
merely about sex; rather, they attempt to incorporate the workings
of eros into their narrative forms. In doing so, these modern
fictions of sexuality create a politics and poetics of the perverse
with the power to transform how we think about and read modernism.
Challenging overarching theories of the novel by mapping the
historical contexts that have influenced modern experimental
narratives, Joseph Allen Boone constructs a model for interpreting
sexuality that reaches from Freud's theory of the libidinal
instincts to Foucault's theory of sexual discourse. A study of the
links between literary modernity and the psychology of sex, this
text is a survey of modernist fiction, gay studies/queer theory,
feminist criticism, and studies in sexuality and gender.
