Con este libro queremos contribuir al estudio academico e interdisciplinario de la vida y la obra de Santa Laura Montoya y, para ello, acudimos a investigadores cuyos saberes estan anclados en diferentes disciplinas: teologia, medicina, estudios literarios, periodismo, linguistica computacional y literatura comparada. Cada uno indaga sobre un periodo o un aspecto diferente de la vida de la Santa, coincidiendo, en algunos casos, con las producciones textuales de parte de la misma, pero, tambien con otros fenomenos culturales, linguisticos y/o mediaticos, acontecidos a partir del proceso de canonizacion. Para el trabajo interpretativo, los investigadores toman como puntos de partida el analisis del discurso, los estudios culturales y, entre otras disciplinas, la hermeneutica feminista.
This book takes up the utopian desire for a perfect language of words that give direct expression to the real, known in Western thought as Cratylism, and its impact on the social visions and poetic projects of three of the most intellectually ambitious of American writers: Walt Whitman, Laura (Riding) Jackson, and Charles Olson.
A hardcover omnibus of the comic masterpieces that made Nancy Mitford famous: madcap tales of growing up among the privileged and eccentric in England and finding love in all the wrong places. Nancy Mitford modeled the characters in her two best-known novels on her own famously unconventional family. We are introduced to the Radletts through the eyes of their cousin Fanny, visiting their Gloucestershire estate. Uncle Matthew is the blustering patriarch, known to hunt his children when foxes are scarce; Aunt Sadie is the vague but doting mother; and the seven Radlett children are recklessly eager to grow up. The Pursuit of Love follows the travails of Linda, the most beautiful and wayward Radlett daughter, who falls first for a stuffy Tory politician, then an ardent communist, and finally a French duke named Fabrice. Love in a Cold Climate focuses on Polly Hampton, long groomed for the perfect marriage by her fearsome mother, Lady Montdore, but secretly determined to find her own path. Together these hilarious novels vividly evoke the lost glamour of aristocratic life in England between the wars. Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
