The Danger of Romance
Author: Karen SullivanPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022654043X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
The curious paradox of romance is that, throughout its history, this genre has been dismissed as trivial and unintellectual, yet people have never ceased to flock to it with enthusiasm and even fervor. In contemporary contexts, we devour popular romance and fantasy novels like The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Game of Thrones, reference them in conversations, and create online communities to expound, passionately and intelligently, upon their characters and worlds. But romance is “unrealistic,” critics say, doing readers a disservice by not accurately representing human experiences. It is considered by some to be a distraction from real literature, a distraction from real life, and little more. Yet is it possible that romance is expressing a truth—and a truth unrecognized by realist genres? The Arthurian literature of the Middle Ages, Karen Sullivan argues, consistently ventriloquizes in its pages the criticisms that were being made of romance at the time, and implicitly defends itself against those criticisms. The Danger of Romance shows that the conviction that ordinary reality is the only reality is itself an assumption, and one that can blind those who hold it to the extraordinary phenomena that exist around them. It demonstrates that that which is rare, ephemeral, and inexplicable is no less real than that which is commonplace, long-lasting, and easily accounted for. If romance continues to appeal to audiences today, whether in its Arthurian prototype or in its more recent incarnations, it is because it confirms the perception—or even the hope—of a beauty and truth in the world that realist genres deny.
El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha II
Author: Cervantes M.Publisher: Рипол Классик
ISBN: 5521071105
Category : Fiction
Languages : es
Pages : 595
Book Description
Miguel de Cervantes, escritor espanol de fama universal, es celebre en primer lugar por su novela “El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha”, una de las obras mas portentosas de la literatura mundial. Esta novela, traducida a todos los idiomas europeos, hasta la fecha es una de las narrativas que mas se leen en el orbe. En 2002 fue califi cada como la mejor novela de las letras mundiales. La obra cuenta las aventuras de un loco hidalgo que adopto el nombre de Don Quijote y de su escudero simplon Sancho Panza, quien de vez en cuando pretende, con timidez e infructuosamente, bajar a su imaginario senor desde los cielos de la alienacion a la tierra de pecado. Una satira muy honda de los tiempos de Cervantes que no pierde su actualidad hasta el dia de hoy.
The Novel, Volume 1
Author: Franco MorettiPublisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691243751
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 926
Book Description
Nearly as global in its ambition and sweep as its subject, Franco Moretti's The Novel is a watershed event in the understanding of the first truly planetary literary form. A translated selection from the epic five-volume Italian Il Romanzo (2001-2003), The Novel's two volumes are a unified multiauthored reference work, containing more than one hundred specially commissioned essays by leading contemporary critics from around the world. Providing the first international comparative reassessment of the novel, these essential volumes reveal the form in unprecedented depth and breadth--as a great cultural, social, and human phenomenon that stretches from the ancient Greeks to today, where modernity itself is unimaginable without the genre. By viewing the novel as much more than an aesthetic form, this landmark collection demonstrates how the genre has transformed human emotions and behavior, and the very perception of reality. Historical, statistical, and formal analyses show the novel as a complex literary system, in which new forms proliferate in every period and place. Volume 1: History, Geography, and Culture, looks at the novel mostly from the outside, treating the transition from oral to written storytelling and the rise of narrative and fictionality, and covering the ancient Greek novel, the novel in premodern China, the early Spanish novel, and much else, including readings of novels from around the world. These books will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literature.
