Produktbeschreibung
This critical reader is the essential companion to any course in twentieth-century literature. Drawing upon the work of a wide range of key writers and critics, the selected extracts provide: *a literary-historical overview of the twentieth century *insight into theoretical discussions around the purpose, value and form of literature which dominated the century *closer examination of representative texts from the period, around which key critical issues might be debated. Clearly conveying the excitement generated by twentieth-century literary texts and by the provocative critical ideas and arguments that surrounded them, this reader can be used alongside the two volumes of "Debating Twentieth-Century Literature" or as a core text for any module on the literature of the last century. Texts examined in detail include: Chekhov´s "The Cherry Orchard," Mansfield´s "Short Stories," poetry of the 1930s, Gibbon´s "Sunset Song," Eliot´s "Prufrock," Brecht´s "Galileo," Woolf´s "Orlando," Okigbo´s "Selected Poems," du Maurier´s "Rebecca," poetry by Ginsburg and O´Hara, Dick´s "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?," Puig´s "Kiss" "of the Spiderwoman," Beckett´s "Waiting for Godot," Heaney´s "New Selected Poems 1966-1987," Gurnah´s "Paradise" and Barker´s "The Ghost Road."
