The Horses of Cormac McCarthy’s «All the Pretty Horses»: Rides and Rites of Passage

The Horses of Cormac McCarthy’s «All the Pretty Horses»: Rides and Rites of Passage

Vanessa Keiper

Peter Lang AG
2021
sidottu
The horses in All the Pretty Horses are ubiquitous but rarely the center of attention. Their depiction is surprisingly authentic and without anthropomorphization. This book illustrates how an equicentric reading offers new insights into the novel’s spaces, characters, and relationships. It features comparisons with popular horse-narratives and an equicentric analysis of the novel’s gender relations. How does horsemanship redefine masculinity? What is the inherent connection between femininity and the equine? This book answers these questions from an equicentric perspective, while taking into account patterns of anthropocentrism and misogyny. In addition, the focus is on the narratees and on how the degree of equine experience they bring to the narrative may enhance the horses’ figurative significance.

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH CAROLINA PRESS
2026
sidottu
Leading scholars take stock of McCarthy's final novels, illuminating the arc of his career, influence, and legacy New Perspectives on Cormac McCarthy provides the first full-scale scholarly assessment of McCarthy's The Passenger and Stella Maris. While marked by McCarthy's unmistakable literary style, these novels deviate from his previous works. Focusing on mathematics and science, and venturing into new genres and locales, McCarthy's last novels showcase his most developed and complex meditations on the nature of life and human consciousness. The essays in this volume chart unexpected paths through McCarthy's work by engaging the reader through topics including the writer's style and literary influences; quantum entanglement and mathematical topos theory; and the ecological, institutional, and ethical bounds of his engagement with themes of history, capitalism, and psychiatry. Compiled altogether, the contributors invite readers to question, explore, and speculate—at times in quite radical ways—about how to read McCarthy's work as a whole.

Ike and McCarthy: Dwight Eisenhower's Secret Campaign Against Joseph McCarthy

Ike and McCarthy: Dwight Eisenhower's Secret Campaign Against Joseph McCarthy

David A. Nichols

The full, little-known story of how President Dwight Eisenhower masterminded the downfall of the anti-Communist demagogue Senator Joseph McCarthy is "a gripping, detailed account of how the executive branch subtly but decisively defeated one of America's most dangerous demagogues" (The Washington Post). They shook hands for the cameras, but Dwight Eisenhower privately abhorred Senator Joseph McCarthy, the powerful Republican senator notorious for his anti-Communist campaign. In spite of a public perception that Eisenhower was unwilling to challenge McCarthy, Ike believed that directly confronting the senator would diminish the presidency. Therefore, the president operated--more discreetly and effectively--with a "hidden hand." In "a thorough, well-written, and surprising picture of a man who was much more than a 'do-nothing' president" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review), David A. Nichols shows how the tension between the two men escalated. In a direct challenge to Eisenhower, McCarthy alleged that the US Army was harboring communists and launched an investigation. But the senator had unwittingly signed his own political death warrant. The White House employed surrogates to conduct a clandestine campaign against McCarthy and was not above using information about the private lives of McCarthy's aides as ammunition. By January 1954 McCarthy was arguably the most powerful member of the Senate. Yet at the end of that year, he had been censured by his colleagues for unbecoming conduct. Eisenhower's covert operation had discredited the senator months earlier, exploiting the controversy that resulted from the televised Army-McCarthy hearings. McCarthy would never recover his lost prestige. In Ike and McCarthy, Nichols uses documents previously unavailable or overlooked to authenticate the extraordinary story of Eisenhower's anti-McCarthy campaign. The result is "a well-researched and sturdily written account of what may be the most important such conflict in modern history....Americans have as much to learn today from Eisenhower as his many liberal critics did in 1954" (The Atlantic Monthly).
