Keala Jewell


The Art of Enigma: The De Chirico Brothers & the Politics of Modernism (New Modernisms Series) Keala Jewell Book DescriptionIn this interdisciplinary book, Keala Jewell reunites Giorgio de Chirico (1888?1978) with his brother, Alberto Savinio (1891?1952), a prolific writer and painter who has been kept at the margins of the discussion of surrealism and, more generally, the culture politics of twentieth-century Italy. Yet as Jewell demonstrates, the brothers worked together during their formative years in Munich and Paris and always shared, on the one hand, a drive to salvage Mediterranean myth and history and, on the other, a deep involvement with art?s power to shape cultural identity and authority. Rather than looking for a key to unlock the secrets of the brothers? recurrent use of dislocated spaces and bizarre hybrid figures, Jewellfocuses on assessing the issues of identity and mastery put at stake in the haunting enigmas that characterize their paintings and writings.

Look Homeward : A Life of Thomas Wolfe

David Herbert Donald


Look Homeward : A Life of Thomas Wolfe David Herbert Donald Amazon.comThomas Wolfe was a writer who famously spewed out words upon the page in endless streams, attempting to achieve The Great American Novel by putting his own life on paper. He wrote four massive novels, combining passages of over-the-top bad writing with some of the most beautiful prose ever committed to paper. His editors Maxwell Perkins and Edward Aswell became almost as famous as Wolfe for their Herculean efforts in getting his titanic manuscripts into publishable form. Look Homeward, Angel (1929), Of Time and the River (1935), and his two posthumously published works, The Web and the Rock (1939) and You Can't Go Home Again (1940) are classics of American literature, though today entirely unfashionable. Harvard historian David Herbert Donald won the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for this appreciative biography of the genius of purple prose.Book DescriptionThomas Wolfe, one of the giants of twentieth-century American fiction, is also one of the most misunderstood of our major... книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Amazon.comThomas Wolfe was a writer who famously spewed out words upon the page in endless streams, attempting to achieve The Great American Novel by putting his own life on paper.
