This book is dedicated to Edith Stein (1891–1942), who is known widely for her contributions to metaphysics. Though she never produced a dedicated work on questions of ethics, her corpus is replete with pertinent reflections. This book is the first major scholarly volume dedicated to exploring Stein’s ethical thought, not only for its wide-ranging content, from her earlier to later works, but also for its applications to such fields as psychology, theology, education, politics, law, and culture.

The "Lives" and Writings of Edith Rickert (1871-1938)

The "Lives" and Writings of Edith Rickert (1871-1938)

This biography represents a nuanced account of Edith Rickert’s life—and inner life. It follows Rickert’s own writing and draws attention to her life as a writer. Rickert has been long remembered as a medievalist, but she also contributed to American scholarship, pedagogy, and codicology. Born into a family of very modest means in Canal Dover, Ohio, she numbered among the University of Chicago’s earliest doctoral students (1895-1899) and was among the first eight women to reach the top of that University's professorial ladder. She prepared what remains the definitive edition of the medieval romance Emaré. She documented aspects of the medieval, as well as Chaucer’s life, with a historian’s accuracy and a novelist’s insight. In the Ladies Home Journal she wrote on women's issues that remain pressing today. With University of Chicago professor John Matthews Manly (1865-1940), she prepared numerous readers and textbooks, including several that helped putcontemporary British and American literature on the academic map. Again in collaboration with Manly, she was responsible for what has been described as “perhaps the most important of the MI-8 solutions” during World War I,as well as the eight-volume edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1940). Rickert also published short stories, novels, poems, and essays. As this biography shows, Rickert's achievement as a writer was equal to her work as a literary critic.

Edith Wharton’s sensitively observed portraits of women’s lives a century ago resonate into the present day, captivating readers now as they did then. Threaded throughout her accounts is a rich seam of secrets and silences that reveals Wharton’s keen grasp of the realities navigated by women, and her astute use of withholding to tell their stories. This book explores her frequent marshalling of secrets and silences, presented as an integral part of her literary aesthetic, to cast light on her enduring interest in women’s experiences in private and public settings during the early twentieth century.

Subjekt Södergran : om jagen i Edith Södergrans poesi

Subjekt Södergran : om jagen i Edith Södergrans poesi

Makadam förlag
2016
nidottu
"Jag är ingen kvinna. Jag är ett neutrum." Så börjar Edith Södergrans dikt "Vierge Moderne" ur debut­samlingen "Dikter" (1916). Hur ska dessa "jag" egentligen förstås? Forskningen har givit olika svar biografiska, litteraturhistoriska, feministiska och varje enskild läsare måste själv ställa frågorna på nytt: Ska man kliva in i jagets ställe? Läsa in författaren? Upptäcka nya möjligheter? I "Subjekt Södergran" närmar sig tio litteraturvetare Södergrans jag ännu en gång, hundra år efter debuten, i övertygelse om att ämnet är allt annat än uttömt. Deras sökande efter svar på diktjagets gåta leder dem till både feminism och liberalism, etik och politik, Silvana Imam och Louis Althusser, ­listor och selfies, katter och entreprenörer. Boken är resultatet av ett litteraturvetenskapligt samarbete mellan Umeå universitet och Mitt­univer­sitetet.

Till fots genom solsystemen : en studie i Edith Södergrans expressionism

Till fots genom solsystemen : en studie i Edith Södergrans expressionism

Ernst Brunner

Dejavu Publicerings AB
2010
nidottu
Utfattig genom bolschevismen, lungsot, avlägsen gränsby, skriver Edith Södergran i ett brev till Vilhelm Ekelund från vintern 1920. Bosatt i finska Karelen genomlevde hon första världskriget, ryska revolutionen och Finlands frihetskrig. Det kaos som ledde Europa till sammanbrott, infann sig samtidigt som spänningen mellan diktarens dödsvisshet och livsviljans extatiska kraft bragtes till sin konstnärliga fullbordan. I och med detta når Edith Södergrans expressionism, som i Till fots genom solsystemen sätts i brännpunkten, sin triumfatoriska kulmen. Edith Södergran är den första stora banbrytaren i modern svensk diktning, hennes expressionism alla måttlösa hjärtans skönaste förhävelse.
