Book Description
"Literature in the Modern World offers a unique combination of English, European, American, and post-colonial perspectives on literary study from the 1920s to the present day. Carefully introduced and arranged to highlight the development of debates, it is designed to engage newcomers to the field with some of the main themes and issues that will concern them as readers of modern literary texts of all genres." "This fully revised and updated second edition now also includes important pieces by, amongst others, T. S. Eliot, Michel Foucault, and Salman Rushdie, and has been extended to include more writers and critics from the world beyond Europe. In addition, there is an increased focus on questions of gender and identity, and two wholly new sections, on 'literature and nation' and 'literature and value'."--BOOK JACKET.

The Man Who Invented Fiction
Author: William EggintonPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1408843862
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
'In 1605 a crippled, greying, almost toothless veteran of Spain's wars against the Ottoman Empire published a book. That book, Don Quixote, went on to sell more copies than any other book beside the Bible, making its author, Miguel de Cervantes, the most widely read author in human history. Cervantes did more than just publish a bestseller, though. He invented a way of writing.' In Cervantes' time, 'fiction' was synonymous with a lie. Books were either history, and true, or 'poetry' which might be invented, but had to conform to strict principles. Don Quixote tells the story of a poor nobleman, addled from reading too many books on chivalry, who deludes himself that he is a knight errant and sets off to put the world to rights. The book was hugely entertaining, broke the existing rules, devised a new set and, in the process, created a new, modern hybrid form we know today as the novel. The Man Who Invented Fiction explores Cervantes's life and the world he lived in, showing how his life and influences converged in his work, and how his work – especially Don Quixote – radically changed the nature of literature and created a new way of viewing the world. Finally, it explains how that worldview went on to infiltrate art, politics and science, and how the world today would be unthinkable without it.
