Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: A Critical Introduction

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen: A Critical Introduction

Ray Moore M. a.

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2013
nidottu
This is a work of literary criticism. It does NOT include the text."Pride and Prejudice" is Jane Austen's most popular novel. It is also an almost perfectly executed narrative with depths of meaning that the casual reader might miss. This Critical Introduction is suitable for students from high school to university level as well as the general reader.The critical analysis places the novel in the context of Austen's other works, makes clear the importance of locations, explains the writer's use of narrative voice, and places the actions and speech of the characters within the manners of the times, particularly in relation to marriage.The writer shows how both Darcy and Elizabeth, are inadequate alone: the one too inflexible and absolute and the other too quick to condemn and too prone to laugh at people worthy of her respect. Together, they completely complement each other - a truth the reader sees much sooner than the novel's two protagonists.NOTE: A new cover has recently been uploaded for this book to reflect its inclusion in the author's Critical Introduction Series.

The Second Edition of this popular critical study has been significantly expanded and completely revised, making it the most thorough single-volume study of Camus' classic novel.

Building on this foundation, Part Two gives a detailed, consistent reading of "The Stranger". The aim throughout, is to explain the meaning that Camus intended his text to have, thus meeting the needs of both the general reader and the student up to graduate level. This guide is thought provoking and encourages the reader to develop their own ideas about interpreting the central themes of the text.

Study Guide to Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

Study Guide to Fear and Trembling by Soren Kierkegaard

Ray Moore M. a.

nidottu
"Fear and Trembling" is one of the most frequently studied philosophical texts in universities. Nevertheless, it is a demanding read. This substantial guide aims to aid the student needing some guidance when first encountering the book. Kierkegaard's style is difficult to follow at times and this guide seeks to provide an introduction which is not full of academic diction and rhetoric but is easy to understand, thoughtful and articulate.Soren Kierkegaards's "Fear and Trembling" is by any measure one of the greatest books of the nineteenth century. Faced with the undermining of Biblical Christianity by scientific rationalism, Kierkegaard asked, "What is the nature of faith in the modern world?" One could argue that his answer was the foundation of modernism both in philosophy and in literature. Beyond its language, what makes "Fear and Trembling" a demanding text is that it challenges every reader to re-evaluate the meaning that he/she finds in life.This Guide aims to aid the reader in understanding Kierkegaard's philosophical musings on life, God, faith, and romantic love.Includes: A historical analysis of the crisis of faith in post-Enlightenment Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century; An account of Kierkegaard's life and the social and intellectual context in which he produced a steady stream of books, journals, printed sermons, and newspaper articles; A primer on Kierkegaard's fundamental ideas; A section by section analysis of Fear and Trembling each with a detailed summary and critique; A summary and analysis of Repetition, a companion work; A closing section that concentrates on Kierkegaard's contribution to the development of existentialism.
