Conditions for Criticism

Conditions for Criticism

Ian Small

Clarendon Press
1991
sidottu
Conditions for Criticism studies changes in the practice of literary criticism in the nineteenth century and locates those changes within wider movements in British intellectual culture. The growth of knowledge and its subsequent institutionalization in universities produced new forms of intellectual authority. This book examines these processes in a wide variety of disciplines, including economics, historiography, sociology, psychology, and philosophical aesthetics, and explores their impact upon literary criticism. Its thesis is that the work of late nineteenth-century writers such as Walter Pater and Oscar Wilde can be best understood in terms of their engagement with, and reaction to, these general intellectual changes, a view which in its turn reveals the seriousness of their work.

The Textual Condition of Nineteenth-Century Literature

The Textual Condition of Nineteenth-Century Literature

Josephine Guy; Ian Small

Routledge
2011
sidottu
In this important new book, Guy and Small develop a new account of literary creativity in the late nineteenth century, one that combines concepts generated by text-theorists concerning the embodied nature of textuality with the empirical insights of text-editors and book historians. Through these developments, which the authors term the ‘textual turn,’ this study examines the textual condition of nineteenth-century literature. The authors explore works by Dickens, Wilde, Hardy, Yeats, Swinburne, FitzGerald, Pater, Arnold, Pinero and Shaw, connecting questions about what a work textually ‘is’ with questions about why we read it and how we value it. The study asks whether the textual turn places us in a stronger position to analyze the value of a nineteenth-century text—not for readers of the nineteenth century, but of the twenty-first. The authors argue that this issue of value is central to their discipline.

Oscar Wilde's Profession

Oscar Wilde's Profession

Josephine M. Guy; Ian Small

Oxford University Press
2000
sidottu
A materialist account of Wilde's career as a writer, Oscar Wilde's Profession contests three widely held assumptions about his success: that there is a clear distinction between his life as a journalist and his artistic celebrity; that he was an aesthetic 'purist' in his attitude towards his own books; and that his career was driven by an oppositional sexual or nationalist politics. The authors bring together evidence from the publishing trade, from Wilde's contracts and correspondence with publishers, and from documentation about his earnings (particularly the plays) to show that he always worked for money, but that he achieved far less financial success than is usually thought. Far from subverting the nascent consumerism of his time, he was thoroughly immersed in its values--in the commodification of culture in which books became product. At the same time, Oscar Wilde's Profession provides a uniquely detailed account of Wilde's processes of composition, springing from the re-examination of his writing practice currently being undertaken in the Oxford English Texts edition of his complete work: it surveys his writing practices across the whole of the oeuvre, and radically reinterprets the significance of his revision and 'plagiarism'.

Politics and Value in English Studies

Politics and Value in English Studies

Josephine M. Guy; Ian Small

Cambridge University Press
2009
pokkari
The current debate about the nature of English studies has questioned the status of English as a discipline. In this 1993 book, Josephine Guy and Ian Small set this so-called 'crisis in English' within the larger context of disciplinary knowledge. They examine the teaching of English and literary studies in the United States and Britain, and argue that the explicit attempt by some radical critics on both sides of the Atlantic to politicise the discipline has profound consequences for the nature of English studies. They describe the state of disciplinary knowledge, together with its social and philosophical preconditions; they analyse proposals for reform; and they discuss the ways in which these proposed reforms would affect the three main practices of the discipline - literary criticism, literary history and text-editing. In the process they demystify issues and arguments which have often in the past been obscured by jargon and polemic.

The Small Stuff

The Small Stuff

Ian Bogost

PENGUIN BOOKS LTD

In an era dominated by convenience and efficiency, you’d think life would be simpler, easier and, most importantly, happier. After all, shouldn’t all the time saved with technology leave us with more time for ourselves? The Atlantic columnist, game-designer and academic Ian Bogost thinks not. From QR code menus and digital tickets to automated self-checkout counters, he argues that the simple pleasures of daily life have been stripped away, replaced by sleek, but soulless, design. Through engaging anecdotes and sharp analysis, Bogost uncovers how modern conveniences not only fail to deliver on their promises but also rob us of small, satisfying tasks and moments that keep us grounded and human. By reframing how we approach ordinary interactions, Bogost shows us how we can transform our view of the material world, from merely utilitarian into a site of joy and gratification. Humorous, thought-provoking, and practical, The Small Stuff is a manifesto for reuniting and re-enchanting us with the world we inhabit, by observing and enjoying the small moments that make up our lives.

Winter tests our hope and resolve. In the Northern hemisphere the temperature drops. Storms disturb. Light fades. But this time of year also sees the festivals of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. Each in some way is a reminder that light is never totally absent. Exploring a path through these festivals, Some Small Heaven seeks to discover the light within the darkness of winter – and within all our winters – to find some small heaven each day, even when life comes at us tough, hard and bleak. Whether we are waiting for a darkness to pass or yearning for a light to come, these daily reflections and images enable us give our care and attention to both the waiting and the yearning and to recognise the gifts that such times may bring.

The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life

Ian Bogost

Atria Books

From popular The Atlantic columnist Ian Bogost, a lively reflection about how we've become disconnected from the physical world--and how to reclaim joy and gratification in your day-to-day life. In an era dominated by convenience and efficiency, one would think that life would be simpler, easier, and most importantly, happier. After all, shouldn't all the time saved with machines and technology leave us with more time for ourselves? The Atlantic columnist Ian Bogost thinks not. From QR code menus and digital tickets to automated self-checkout counters, he argues that the simple pleasures of daily life have been stripped away, replaced by sleek, but soulless, design. Through engaging anecdotes and sharp analysis, Bogost uncovers how modern conveniences not only fail to deliver on their promises but also rob us of small, satisfying tasks and moments that keep us grounded and human. He challenges us to rethink our daily interactions with the material world and illuminates how the loss of these tangible interactions has contributed to widespread feelings of disconnection and dissatisfaction. But all hope is not lost. Bogost guides us to identify and appreciate the overlooked joys hidden in everyday life. By reforming how we approach ordinary tasks, we can rediscover the gratification embedded in the tactile world around us. Humorous, thought-provoking, and practical, The Small Stuff reveals that finding joy isn't about achieving monumental happiness or prolonged satisfaction. It's about doing small things, deliberately and with attention, to unlock the basic pleasures that flavor our daily lives.

In a Small, Quiet Village (Where Nothing Much Ever Happens)

In a Small, Quiet Village (Where Nothing Much Ever Happens)

Ian A Hollis

Ian Anthony Hollis
2022
pokkari
A seemingly ordinary village has very curious happenings in this magical realism upper-middle grade novel.Before the wayfaring Adam arrived in the small village, his grandfather apprised him that the place was, "Like a beacon of hope...That small, quiet village where nothing much ever happens. Where you'll want for nothing, and ordinary people live ordinary lives." The village welcomed him instantly, after all it's not every day that someone new visits. The families of ten-year-old Jacob and his best friend, fourteen-year-old Sabrina, put Adam up in an abandoned house and make him the guest of honor at a lamb roast.Nineteen-year-old Belle and her best friend Donna are contentedly predictable, eating their sack lunches each day on the porch steps of Grandpa and Grandma's house-who are not actually their grandparents but all the villagers call them that. Amanda, nearly the same age as Adam, tells the newcomer, "I kind of think of this place like a book. Everyone's their own main character in their own stories, and supporting cast in everyone else's stories...I honestly haven't seen much more of the world than what this place has to offer, but I love it here so much, why would I ever want to leave?"Young Jacob and Sabrina enjoy spending their days together on little adventures, often walking the long path to what Jacob calls the "inconvenience store" due to its distance, and the old abandoned and dilapidated train station which, inexplicably, contains a perfectly working vending machine-no one knew who put it there, who filled it, or who maintained it-where they would enjoy a soda together. When a disastrous storm wreaks havoc in the village, tragedy ensues and grief, loss, and uncertainty fill the village. With some moving on from the hamlet, needing to carve their own path, the rest are left wondering what the future will bring and how long it will be until the village returns to its ordinary, quiet place once again.A masterful literary work for upper middle-graders, steeped with subtle threads of magic in the mundane, creating a seemingly ordinary tale with extraordinary details, In a Small, Quiet Village (Where Nothing Much Ever Happens) is the first title in the Cities & Villages saga.
