English Gothic Literature

English Gothic Literature

Derek Brewer

Red Globe Press
1983
nidottu
The centuries between 1100 and 1500 were the crucible in which English language and literature, after the blow of the Norman Conquest, were reformed with results that affected all later times. The national language and literary culture were reconstructed influences. The medieval centuries present a fascinating success story of recovery, inventiveness and major achievement in all aspects of national life. In literature, lyric verse, narrative poetry, drama and discursive prose were all established in characteristic modes. In the present book many works are discussed, while such masterpieces as the works of Chaucer, Langland's Piers Plowman, the poems of the Gawain-poet and Malory's Morte Darthur are shown as the secular equivalent in words of the great medieval Gothic cathedrals. The forms of this varied body of literature had as characteristic a period style as contemporary Gothic art and architecture themselves. English literature may equally be described as Gothic, with assumptions and achievements which both lead to and contrast with later Neoclassical styles. Black and white photographic illustrations further the comparison and suggest some background. English Gothic literature derives from many interrelated social context - court, town, monastery and countryside. It was recorded in manuscripts that blend the qualities of popular speech and folktale with some of the more impersonal regular qualities of printing, that last of fundamental medieval inventions. In this new concept of the history of medieval literature, Derek Brewer illuminates the major literary works with detailed exposition to make them available to the reader coming fresh to them. At the same time he places them in the context of developing literacy and individualism, secular realism, romantic love, personal religion, etc., setting forth a coherent framework of cultural history which will challenge the interest of those who already know the period.

The Practice of Reading

The Practice of Reading

Derek Alsop; Chris Walsh

Red Globe Press
1999
nidottu
The Practice of Reading is a lucid and lively examination of the art of interpreting the novel in the context of recent developments in literary theory and criticism. Believing that reading is - or should be - a pleasurable, creative activity, the authors analyse a range of seven novels from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing upon the experiential dimensions of the reading process. What is the role of the reader? What happens when a novel is read? How far does meaning depend on the reader, and how far on the text? These and other related questions are explored in readings of novels as diverse as Tristram Shandy, Pride and Prejudice, Great Expectations, Daniel Deronda, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Beckett's Trilogy and Possession.In its insistence upon a return to the practice of close reading, the book represents a timely intervention in current literary debates. An accessible, informative and above all stimulating text for all university and college students of literature.

He Died with His Eyes Open

He Died with His Eyes Open

Derek Raymond

Ballantine Books
1987
nidottu
"A unique crime writer whose fictional world was brutal, realistic and harrowing in the extreme."--Guardian In the three police procedurals that comprise the Factory Series, Derek Raymond has created a narrator who threatens to become a cult figure while preserving his anonymity. A loner and cynic, undervalued and underpaid, our hero is a nameless detective sergeant in the Department of Unexplained Deaths, a catch-all unit that investigates low-life crimes and is shunned by the blokes in the Serious Crimes Division of the Metropolitan Police. But our narrator, working out of the Factory, named by the villains because it has a bad reputation for doing suspects over in the interrogation rooms, is fired by a real feeling for justice. He believes that an alcoholic, found obscenely battered to death in a seedy, down-and-out part of London, deserves as much official attention as, say, a dead politician. This "nobody" becomes a somebody--a kindred spirit who left behind a strange legacy. Our cop becomes obsessed by the case. But even he could not have imagined how vicious, evil, and perversely attractive his opponent will turn out to be.

Fire Inna Dancehall

Fire Inna Dancehall

Derek Bardowell

John Murray Press
2026
sidottu
Dancehall isn't just music. It's a philosophy, a survival strategy, a rebellion in riddim. From Kingston to London, Fire Inna Dancehall traces how sound, style and struggle collided to create one of the most influential cultural movements of the past half-century. Part memoir, part social history, and part love letter to Black creativity, it charts the rise of dancehall as both a soundtrack and a survival strategy as a space where joy and resistance share the same rhythm. Bardowell explores how the pulse of dancehall music speaks to migration, masculinity, faith, freedom and the ongoing fight for self-definition. This is the story of how a beat became a battleground and how a sound became a global language of liberation. Brave, lyrical and unapologetic, Fire Inna Dancehall does not seek permission to sing. It insists on being heard.
