J. M. Coetzee and the Politics of Style

J. M. Coetzee and the Politics of Style

Jarad Zimbler

Cambridge University Press
2014
sidottu
J. M. Coetzee's early novels confronted readers with a brute reality stripped of human relation and a prose repeatedly described as spare, stark, intense and lyrical. In this book, Jarad Zimbler explores the emergence of a style forged in Coetzee's engagement with the complexities of South African culture and politics. Tracking the development of this style across Coetzee's first eight novels, from Dusklands to Disgrace, Zimbler compares Coetzee's writing with that of South African authors such as Gordimer, Brink and La Guma, whilst re-examining the nature of Coetzee's indebtedness to modernism and postmodernism. In each case, he follows the threads of Coetzee's own writings on stylistics and rhetoric in order to fix on those techniques of language and narrative used to activate a 'politics of style'. In so doing, Zimbler challenges long-held beliefs about Coetzee's oeuvre, and about the ways in which contemporary literatures of the world are to be read and understood.

G. Lowes Dickinson

Cambridge University Press
2015
pokkari
Originally published in 1931, this book presents a concise biography of the British idealist metaphysician John McTaggart Ellis McTaggart (1866–1925). The text was largely written by the prominent political scientist Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862–1932), a close friend of the subject. Abundant material from McTaggart's memoirs, letters and other writings is included, with earlier chapters covering more personal areas and later ones focusing on his philosophical approach. Ilustrative figures and notes are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in McTaggart, metaphysics and British idealism.

'J.' A Memoir of John Willis Clark, Registrary of the University of Cambridge and Sometime Fellow of Trinity College

'J.' A Memoir of John Willis Clark, Registrary of the University of Cambridge and Sometime Fellow of Trinity College

Shipley A. E.

Cambridge University Press
2011
pokkari
John Willis Clark (1833–1910) devoted his life to the University of Cambridge, and this 1913 memoir by A. E. Shipley, Master of Christ's College, was a fitting tribute to a much admired man. His father was professor of anatomy, and his maternal uncle, Robert Willis, Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy. A scholar and fellow of Trinity College, his talent and energy as an administrator led to his appointment as superintendent of the museum of comparative anatomy, and he considerably improved the museum's collection. From natural history his interests were diverted in 1875 - his uncle died, leaving his monumental Architectural History of the University unfinished, and it was Clark who completed it in 1886. In 1891 he became Registrary of the University, which he remained until 1910, and was one of the best-known figures in Cambridge, involved with everything from administrative reform to student activities such as the triennial Greek play.
