Samuel Johnson and the Powers of Friendship

Samuel Johnson and the Powers of Friendship

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
sidottu
This book is the first to assess Johnson’s diverse insights into friendship—that is to say, his profound as well as widely ranging appreciation of it—over the course of his long literary career. It examines his engagements with ancient philosophies of friendship and with subsequent reformulations of or departures from that diverse inheritance. The volume explores and illuminates Johnson’s understanding of friendship in the private and public spheres—in particular, friendship’s therapeutic amelioration of personal experience and transformative impact upon civil life. Doing so, it considers both his portrayals of interaction with his friends and his more overtly fictional representations of friendship across the many genres in which he wrote. It presents at once an original re-assessment of Johnson’s writings and new interpretations of friendship as an element of civility in mid-eighteenth-century British culture.

Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms

Samuel Beckett’s Italian Modernisms

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
In the wake of both Joycean and Dantean celebrations, this volume aims to investigate the fecund influence of Italian culture on Samuel Beckett’s work, with a specific focus on the twentieth century.Located at the intersection of historical avant-garde movements and a renewed interest in tradition, Italian modernism reimagined Italy and its culture, projecting it beyond the shadow of fascism. Following in Joyce’s footsteps, Samuel Beckett soon became an attentive reader of Italian modernist authors. These had a profound effect on his early work, shaping his artistic identity. The influence of his early readings found its way also into Beckett’s postwar writing and, most poignantly, in his theatre. The contributions in this collection rekindle the debate around Beckett as modernist author through the lenses of Italian culture.This study will be of particular interest to students and scholars in theatre and performance studies, Italian studies, English studies, and comparative literature.

Samuel Beckett and Recent Irish Fiction

Samuel Beckett and Recent Irish Fiction

David McKinney

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
This volume considers Samuel Beckett’s fiction and drama as major aesthetic and thematic influences on the work of Irish authors Eimear McBride, Keith Ridgway, Emma Donoghue, and Kevin Barry in the post-crash period of 2009–2015. Through cross-comparisons between the aesthetics and form of Beckett’s Trilogy, Mercier and Camier, Footfalls and Not I, and those of a range of post-crash Irish novels including Beatlebone, Hawthorn and Child, Room, and A Girl Is A Half-Formed Thing, this book establishes Beckett’s continuing influence on Irish fiction. With particular reference to these newer authors’ treatment of scarcity, trauma, indeterminism, gender and sexuality, and confinement in the context of major societal changes and traumas in Irish society since 2009, topics include the imposition of austerity, collapse of faith in institutions, and the increasing recognition of LGBTQIA+ and reproductive rights.

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

Matthew Flinders’ 1801–1803 circumnavigation of Australia in H.M.S. Investigator has become a fabled narrative. Much less well-known are the achievements of Matthew’s youngest brother, Samuel Ward Flinders, whose skills in obtaining astronomical measurements to determine the expedition’s geographic longitudes were remarkable. This book consolidates the widely scattered literature about Samuel’s life and achievements into the astronomer’s first modern biography. Samuel had to bear his own share of misfortunes and injustices, but they are balanced by his significant contribution to the scientific achievements of the voyage of the Investigator. This book contains a conclusive assessment as to whether his bad reputation is warranted by the historic record. This book will appeal to both academics and general audiences. This book is accompanied by over 70 pages of online appendices (hosted under the Support Material tab on the Routledge website) including glossaries of key people, ships, nautical terms, and indigenous place names. These downloadable resources also include further information on the H.M Ship Reliance, eyewitness accounts, and Samuel Flinders’ court martial. Key features Presents the well-known story of Matthew Flinders’ 1801–1803 Australian circumnavigation told from a different, less obvious perspective; Explores the 18th/19th century’s British–French rivalry half a world from home; The first comprehensive biography of a largely overlooked major personality in the early exploration and colonisation by the British Empire.

Samuel Joseph Agnon, Psychoanalysis and Jewish History

Samuel Joseph Agnon, Psychoanalysis and Jewish History

David Aberbach

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD

sidottu
Samuel Joseph Agnon, Psychoanalysis and Jewish History: A Comparative Study compares the writings of Samuel Joseph Agnon (1887-1970) with other writers, including Gustav Flaubert, Franz Kafka, D. H. Lawrence and Carl Gustav Jung, as well as his great Hebrew predecessors, Mendele Mocher Sefraim and Chaim Nachman Bialik, who drew on the ancient Jewish biblical and rabbinic tradition in creating a modern secular literature.Through close readings of Agnon’s fiction in comparison with some of his great contemporaries, the reader comes to a new appreciation of the richness and psychological depth of modern Hebrew literary art and its roots in ancient Jewish history and literature; of Agnon as a major figure bridging the traditional culture of the pre-1939 East European Jews with the modern world; of Hebrew fiction amid tumultuous historical change, as its centre shifted in the early 20th century from Eastern Europe to Tel Aviv; and of the centrality of Hebrew literature in the rise of modern Jewish nationalism as anti-Semitism grew.This book is of particular value to students of Hebrew and Comparative Literature and of psychoanalysis and the sociology of literature, but it is written clearly and without jargon and has much interest to the general reader.

Originally published in 1971, this book elucidates Beckett’s work in the light of his concern with literary form. This is seen as an increasingly compressed and dense medium for the purer and purer statement of his view of man’s existence, and Beckett’s Man is seen as the medium for the articulation of a view of the world which is both comically cruel and anti-theological, but not atheist. The book discusses his work as a novelist and playwright – his best-known play, Waiting for Godot, being seen in the context of his many other important plays, and more than twenty years of previous writing.

Samuel Johnson

Samuel Johnson

J.P. Hardy

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Dr Samuel Johnson’s literary works are full of variety and interest. They include biographies, essays, political pamphlets, significant poems, a body of literary criticism remarkable for its range and shrewdness, a famous dictionary, and an edition of Shakespeare’s plays. Throughout his life, Johnson suffered from strong feelings of guilt and a very real fear of insanity. These feelings had a strong influence on his writings, forcing him to communicate, to ‘remind’ his readers of their limitations and weaknesses. Yet he also had an abiding sense of the dignity and importance of human aspirations. In a profound way, he recognized that ‘the proper study of mankind is man’, and his own works bear witness to his genuine and fundamental humanity. In his book Samuel Johnson (originally published in 1979), the author shows that Johnson’s real strength as a writer derives from this humanity, his ability to feel enormous compassion at the same time as he grapples with the central problems of human existence. John Hardy makes a detailed interpretation of all of Johnson’s major works, devoting particular attention to the connection between Samuel Johnson’s deeply spiritual nature and impressive intelligence as a writer.

Samuel Joshua Smith spent his youth on the mission field in South America and preached his first sermon on his 17th birthday in La Paz, Bolivia. He has been teaching and preaching ever since, in both North and South America. Even now, at age 92, he continues to share Jesus at every opportunity he's given. More than an autobiography, this book shares the struggles and joys of mission work. It is Sam's hope that readers will be inspired and encouraged by the evidence of God's hand in his life and ministry, and will be equipped to carry the Gospel to the lost and hurting around the world.

The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Volume III: 1667-1669

The Diary of Samuel Pepys, Volume III: 1667-1669

Samuel Pepys

Naxos
2019
cd
The Diary of Samuel Pepys is one of the most entertaining documents in English history. Written between 1660 and 1669, as Pepys was establishing himself as a key administrator in the Navy Office, it is an intimate portrait of life in seventeenth-century England, covering his professional and personal activities, including, famously, his love of music, theater, food, and wine, as well as his peccadilloes. This Naxos AudioBooks production is the world-premiere recording of the diary in its entirety. It has been divided into three volumes. Volume III presents the last three years of Pepys's diary. By now he was in his mid-thirties and confident in his ability to deal with differing political factions within the Navy Office.His affection for his wife Elizabeth grows ever stronger, despite wandering eyes, and he finds he is worth 6,000 and more--a considerable sum at that time for the son of a tailor who started with nothing. His concern with his eyesight grows, and it is with some regret that he stops writing his diary at the end of May 1669.
