1000 tulosta hakusanalla Lawrence Woods
Based on the Cambridge Edition of Lawrence's letters and works, this is a systematic study of his neglected early novels and short stories. Michael Black considers that these should be taken seriously as a representative part of Lawrence's entire output and demonstrates how they show originality. He places Lawrence in a new light as an artist, especially considering the relationship between his art and thought.
A Psychoanalytic Study of Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet
Rony Alfandary
Routledge
2020

A Psychoanalytic Study of Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet: Exile and Return focuses on the dialogue created by literature and psychoanalysis in an individual’s quest to explore existential issues, such as a sense of belonging to a homeland and a recurring sense of the Uncanny (das unheimliche). Rony Alfandary explores Durrell’s attempt to recreate a sense of belonging to a homeland, which perhaps never existed but can be retraced and reinvented through writing.This book studies some issues present in Durrell’s work: the connection between biographical and fictional elements in the study of literature the influence of early Freudian theoretical themes upon the writer later influences including post-modern and hermeneutic theoriesThe life and work of Lawrence Durrell can serve as a prototype of a man’s quest for meaning, in a world caught in turmoil in the period between and during WW2. The author’s psychoanalytic exploration of the work and its relevance to human experience today, shows how the themes Durrell dealt with remain relevant. Alfandary highlights the ways in which his usage of several author narrative styles exemplifies the divergent and often contradictory nature of "Truth", emerging rather as multi-layered, multi-voiced and often torn sense of human subjectivity.A Psychoanalytic Study of Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet: Exile and Return demonstrates Durrell’s strong influence by psychoanalytic thought and will appeal to both psychoanalytic and literary scholars.
My name is Karl "With A K" Omar Lawrence. I am a Bronx native and the first generation son of immigrants from a place called St.Thomas in Jamaica east of the capital where the roads are so bad it is nearly impossible for cars to drive there. I was born at Lady of Mercy hospital premature at two pounds twenty-five weeks old with a hole in my heart. In critical condition I was kept in an incubator for the next two months following where my mother could not hold me. Yet here I am by some miracle, I am convinced by the grace of a power greater than myself. I scarcely remember that time but it has left me with a deep conviction that we are given this life to make use of it, uncover our distinct genius and then share it with the world. But there is one glaring problem that stands in the way of that: what if the world reflects back to you not that you are a genius whose life is worthwhile and valuable but instead that you are a nobody who does not matter? What if the love is missing in your home and you lack a sense of belonging? What if the consistent absence of healthy food to eat, the urine in hallways and uncleaned blood stains on front steps start to make you feel unsafe, kill you self-esteem and diminish your light? Compromise your brilliance? ...What if you managed to overcome it all through sheer force of willpower and imagination? Wouldn't you have a story worth telling? I write to affirm the fact that we are not bound to the way things are--the life and the world that we inherit . If we can exercise the courage to think radically and envision an alternative possibility things can change

The St Lawrence and the Saguenay and Other Poems
Charles Sangster
University of Toronto Press
1972
pokkari
Once called 'The Father of Canadian Poetry, ' Charles Sangster was much praised by his contemporaries. His two major works, The St Lawrence and the Sagunay and Other Poems (1856) and Hesperus and Other Poems and Lyrics (1860), received favourable reviews in England and the United States as well as home. Charles Sangster's poetry reflects the cultural atmosphere of Canada West in the middle of the nineteenth century. As Gordon Johnston points out, Sangster was the first to look poetically at the Canadian wilderness; and although the poet sees it as God's creation, he also recognizes its dangers and terrors. As poet Sangster also deals with his reasons for writing poetry and the problems of writing. The two volumes reprinted here in the complete text have long been out of print. They will be welcomed by many who wish to read this important nineteenth-century Canadian poet.
