Ethics and Aesthetics in European Modernist Literature

Ethics and Aesthetics in European Modernist Literature

David Ellison

Cambridge University Press
2006
pokkari
David Ellison's book is an investigation into the historical origins and textual practice of European literary Modernism. Ellison's study traces the origins of Modernism to the emergence of early German Romanticism from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, and emphasizes how the passage from Romanticism to Modernism can be followed in the gradual transition from the sublime to the uncanny. Arguing that what we call High Modernism cannot be reduced to a religion of beauty, an experimentation with narrative form, or even a reflection on time and consciousness, Ellison demonstrates that Modernist textuality is characterized by the intersection, overlapping, and crossing of aesthetic and ethical issues. Beauty and morality relate to each other as antagonists struggling for dominance within the related fields of philosophy and theory on the one hand (Kant, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Freud) and imaginative literature on the other (Baudelaire, Proust, Gide, Conrad, Woolf, Kafka).
A Reader's Guide to Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time'

A Reader's Guide to Proust's 'In Search of Lost Time'

David Ellison

Cambridge University Press
2010
pokkari
Proust's 'A la recherche du temps perdu' (In Search of Lost Time) is many things at once: a novel of education, a portrait of French society during the Third Republic, a masterful psychological analysis of love, a reflection on homosexuality, an essay in moral and aesthetic theory, and, above all, one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century. This Reader's Guide analyses each volume of the 'Recherche' in order and in detail. Without jargon or technical language, David Ellison leads the reader through the work, clarifying but not oversimplifying the intricate beauty of Proust's imaginary universe. Focused both on large themes and on narrative and stylistic particularities, Ellison's readings expand our understanding and appreciation of the work and provide tools for the further study of Proust. All French quotations are translated, making this an ideal guide for students of comparative literature as well as of French.

The Naturalist in Britain

The Naturalist in Britain

David Elliston Allen

Princeton University Press
1994
pokkari
At once a major resource for historians of science and an excellent introduction to natural history for the general reader, David Allen's The Naturalist in Britain established a precedent for investigating natural history as a social phenomenon. Here the author traces the evolution of natural history from the seventeenth to the early twentieth centuries, from the "herbalizings" of apprentice apothecaries to the establishment of national reserves and international societies to the emergence of natural history as an organized discipline. Along the way he describes the role of scientific ideas, popular fashion, religious motivations, literary influences, the increase of leisure time and disposable income, and the tendency of like-minded persons to form clubs. His comprehensive and entertaining discussion creates a vibrant portrait of a scientific movement inextricably woven into a particular culture.

Clouds form, they grow, the rain comes and the cycle starts all over. But one little cloud travels the world seeing wonderful things all by itself. Each time it runs into a larger cloud, the larger cloud comments on how lonely the little cloud must be by itself and that it should join the larger cloud and stay. But is that really what is best for this little cloud? Does it stay with a group, change, and get friends or does it stay true to itself and refuse to change just to be "part of the group"? Children are constantly being faced with this exact challenge daily. Is it better to have friends but lose yourself or stay who you are and live life on your own terms? A fiction book where the cloud's life is a metaphor for realizing the benefit of being yourself and the happiness and freedom being who you are regardless of what other people think can bring.

A complete treatment of all aspects of dark matter physicsThis book provides an incisive, self-contained introduction to one of the most intriguing subjects in modern physics, presenting the evidence we have from astrophysics for the existence of dark matter, the theories for what it could be, and the cutting-edge experimental and observational methods for testing them. It begins with a survey of the astrophysical phenomena, from rotation curves to lensing and cosmological structure formation. It goes on to offer the most comprehensive overview available of all three major theories, discussing weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), axions, and primordial black holes. The book explains the constraints on each theory, such as direct detection and indirect astrophysical limits, and enables students to build physical intuition using hands-on exercises and supplemental material.The only book to treat extensively WIMPs, axions, and primordial black holesProvides balanced coverage of the evidence, theory, and testing for dark matter from astrophysics, particle physics, and experimental physicsIncludes original problems and short quizzes throughoutAccompanied by Jupyter notebooks that give sample calculations and methods to reproduce key results and graphsAn ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and an essential reference for researchers
