Limits of Computation

Limits of Computation: An Introduction to the Undecidable and the Intractable offers a gentle introduction to the theory of computational complexity. It explains the difficulties of computation, addressing problems that have no algorithm at all and problems that cannot be solved efficiently. The book enables readers to understand:What does it mean for a problem to be unsolvable or to be NP-complete?What is meant by a computation and what is a general model of a computer?What does it mean for an algorithm to exist and what kinds of problems have no algorithm?What problems have algorithms but the algorithm may take centuries to finish?Developed from the authors’ course on computational complexity theory, the text is suitable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students without a strong background in theoretical computer science. Each chapter presents the fundamentals, examples, complete proofs of theorems, and a wide range of exercises.

Cette tude a t con ue comme un voyage en terre inconnue. Les trois autrices choisies taient d j consid r es en Irlande et dans le monde, comme repr sentatives de la litt rature irlandaise de la fin du XXe si cle et du d but du XXIe. Mais le terrain des r actions de lectrices et lecteurs reste une zone encore peu tudi e. L'enqu te a t men e la recherche d'une parole vive, dans des clubs de lecture, et aussi dans des changes informels sur des forums en ligne. Le travail de Rita Felski, universitaire am ricaine, a permis de formaliser l'analyse de diff rentes sources, orales et crites, provenant d'Irlande, de France, mais aussi des tats-Unis et du Royaume-Uni, en fournissant de nouvelles perspectives sur le la r ception des oeuvres litt raires. La lecture permet une reconnaissance de soi, elle enchante, elle ouvre de nouvelles connaissances, et parfois choque. Les croisements subtils entre l'ind termination qui caract rise plusieurs des romans consid r s, et l'exp rience des r ceptrices et r cepteurs issus des diff rentes zones g ographiques tudi es, offrent une r flexion stimulante sur les traits communs de la r sonance lectorale, ainsi qu'un cho puissant des oeuvres des trois crivaines.

Melissa Boston

Finishing Line Press
2022
pokkari
Melissa Boston's Edna is an inventive exploration of the pastoral mode that pulls from different sources of art and literature to construct a narrative about connection and wanting, love and failure, as well as acceptance. With three distinct speakers, the collection begins with an invoking of the title's only named speaker, and the reader is taken on an odyssey of a failed relationship that spans from the Hawaiian Islands to the Midwest. But with a lyrical tenderness, beauty is found in the ruins of these intimate moments, and the conversations that art and literature have with our lives is continued in a new paradigm of our interpreting and understanding of moments and places we inhabit.

Edna Ferber's Hollywood

Edna Ferber's Hollywood

J. E. Smyth

University of Texas Press
2009
pokkari
Edna Ferber's Hollywood reveals one of the most influential artistic relationships of the twentieth century-the four-decade partnership between historical novelist Edna Ferber and the Hollywood studios. Ferber was one of America's most controversial popular historians, a writer whose uniquely feminist, multiracial view of the national past deliberately clashed with traditional narratives of white masculine power. Hollywood paid premium sums to adapt her novels, creating some of the most memorable films of the studio era-among them Show Boat, Cimarron, and Giant. Her historical fiction resonated with Hollywood's interest in prestigious historical filmmaking aimed principally, but not exclusively, at female audiences. In Edna Ferber's Hollywood, J. E. Smyth explores the research, writing, marketing, reception, and production histories of Hollywood's Ferber franchise. Smyth tracks Ferber's working relationships with Samuel Goldwyn, Leland Hayward, George Stevens, and James Dean; her landmark contract negotiations with Warner Bros.; and the controversies surrounding Giant's critique of Jim-Crow Texas. But Edna Ferber's Hollywood is also the study of the historical vision of an American outsider-a woman, a Jew, a novelist with few literary pretensions, an unashamed middlebrow who challenged the prescribed boundaries among gender, race, history, and fiction. In a masterful film and literary history, Smyth explores how Ferber's work helped shape Hollywood's attitude toward the American past.

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS

This beautifully produced first annotated edition of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s oeuvre re-presents the work of the Jazz Age’s most famous poet More than sixty years after her death, the Pulitzer Prize–winning poet Edna St. Vincent Millay continues to captivate new generations of readers. The twentieth-century American author was catapulted to fame after the publication of Renascence, her first major work and a poem written while she was still a teenager. Millay’s frank attitude toward sexuality—along with immortal lines such as “My candle burns at both ends”—solidified her reputation as the quintessential liberated woman of the Jazz Age. In this authoritative volume, Timothy F. Jackson has compiled and annotated a new selection that represents the full range of her published work alongside previously unpublished manuscript excerpts, poems, prose, and correspondence. The poems, appearing as they were printed in their first editions, are complemented by Jackson’s extensive, illuminating notes that draw on archival sources and help situate her work in its historical and literary context. Two introductory essays—one by Jackson and the other by Millay’s literary executor, Holly Peppe—also help critically frame the poet’s work. This deluxe edition will be cherished by readers who continue to study and enjoy the work of this iconic figure.

Richard Brautigan

Houghton Mifflin (Trade)
1999
nidottu
On the eve of his departure from Eugene, Oregon, to San Francisco and worldly success, a twenty-one-year-old unpublished write named Richard Brautigan gave these funny, buoyant stories and poems as a gift to Edna Webster, the beloved mother of both his best fried and his first "real" girlfriend. "When I am rich and famous, Edna," he told her, "this will be your social security.' The stories and poems show Brautigan as hopelessly lovestruck, cheerily goofy, and at his most disarmingly innocent. We see not only a young man and young artist about to bloom, but also the whole literary sensibility of the 1960s counterculture about to spread its wings and fly.

Since the publication of her debut novel The Country Girls in 1960, Edna O’Brien has experimented with an impressive range of forms and genres. Her most recent trilogy, completed in 1999 with the publication of Wild Decembers, focuses on issues surrounding contemporary Ireland such as terrorism, decolonisation and abortion law. Concentrating mainly on the novels from 1960 to the present day Amanda Greenwood contests critical perceptions of O’Brien as a narrow chronicler of women’s inner lives, arguing that O’Brien’s writings are not only radical but deeply revealing of the position of women under patriarchy in Ireland and beyond; the later texts suggest the need for revisions of the social and symbolic orders. Drawing on ‘French’ feminism, gender issues, Irish studies and ecocriticism, Greenwood explores O’Brien’s representations and deconstruction of ‘femininity’, ‘masculinity’ and ‘Irishness'.

Edna Ferber's America

Edna Ferber's America

Eliza McGraw

Louisiana State University Press
2014
sidottu
From the 1910s to the 1950s, Edna Ferber (1885--1968) published a series of bestselling novels that made her one of Doubleday's highest-paid authors, earned her a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1925, and transformed her into a literary celebrity. She hosted dinner parties covered by the New York Times, lunched at the Algonquin Round Table with Dorothy Parker and Alexander Woollcott, and collaborated with George S. Kaufman on hit plays such as Dinner at Eight and Stage Door. In Edna Ferber's America, Eliza McGraw provides the first in-depth critical study of the author's novels, exploring their innovative portrayals of characters from a diverse range of ethnicities and social classes.Best remembered today for the movies and musicals adapted from her works -- including classics like Giant and Show Boat -- Ferber attracted a devoted readership during her lifetime with engaging storylines focused on strong-willed individuals reshaping their lives, set amid a panorama of regional landscapes. McGraw reveals that Ferber's novels convey a broad, nuanced vision of the United States as a multiethnic country.Framing her study with the theme of ethnic unease and insecurity, McGraw performs close readings of twelve Ferber novels: Dawn O'Hara (1911), Fanny Herself (1917), The Girls (1921), So Big (1924), Show Boat (1926), Cimarron (1929), American Beauty (1931), Come and Get It (1935), Saratoga Trunk (1941), Great Son (1945), Giant (1952), and Ice Palace (1958). McGraw explores the entwined topics of racial mixing and class as she argues that in Ferber's America, ethnic and social mobility challenge the reigning order, creating places that foster vitality and promise hope for the future.
