This volume marks the birth centenary of a giant amongst contemporary writers: the Australian Nobel prize-winning novelist, Patrick White (1912â "1990). It proffers an invaluable insight into the current state of White studies through commentaries drawn from an international galaxy of eminent critics, as well as from newer talents. The book proves that interest in Whiteâ (TM)s work continues to grow and diversify. Every essay offers a new insight: some are re-evaluations by seasoned critics who revise earlier positions significantly; others admit new light onto what has seemed like well-trodden terrain or focus on works perhaps undervalued in the pastâ "his poetry, an early short story or novelâ "which are now subjected to fresh attention. His posthumous work has also won attention from prominent critics. New comparisons with other international writers have been drawn in terms of subject matter, themes and philosophy. The expansion of critical attention into fields like photography and film opens new possibilities for enhancing further appreciation of his work. Whiteâ (TM)s interest in public issues such as the treatment of Australiaâ (TM)s Indigenous peoples, human rights and Australian nationalism is refracted through the inclusion of relevant commentaries from notable contributors. For the first time in Australian literary history, Indigenous scholars have participated in a celebration of the work of a white Australian writer. All of this highlights a new direction in White studiesâ "the appreciation of his stature as a public intellectual. The book demonstrates that Whiteâ (TM)s legacy has limitless possibilities for further growth.

In recent years, Australian literature has experienced a revival of interest both domestically and internationally. The increasing prominence of work by writers like Christos Tsiolkas, heightened through television and film adaptation, as well as the award of major international prizes to writers like Richard Flanagan, and the development of new, high-profile prizes like the Stella Prize, have all reinvigorated interest in Australian literature both at home and abroad. This Companion emerges as a part of that reinvigoration, considering anew the history and development of Australian literature and its key themes, as well as tracing the transition of the field through those critical debates. It considers works of Australian literature on their own terms, as well as positioning them in their critical and historical context and their ethical and interactive position in the public and private spheres. With an emphasis on literature’s responsibilities, this book claims Australian literary studies as a field uniquely positioned to expose the ways in which literature engages with, produces and is produced by its context, provoking a critical re-evaluation of the concept of the relationship between national literatures, cultures, and histories, and the social function of literary texts.

Interpreting Literary Texts written by Michael Giffin and has been published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-09-12 with Literary Criticism categories.
This book considers how textual interpretation has been influenced by post-Kantian philosophy and aesthetics, particularly the cultural transition from the correspondence theory of knowledge and truth to Nietzschean perspectivism, and the canonical transition from Classicism, to Romanticism, to Modernism, to Postmodernism. It discusses the principles of interpretation, the concept of reason (logos), and how the West’s model of mind evolved. The novels of Jane Austen introduce the concept of Classicism, including her debt to Aristotle’s thinking about Tragedy and Comedy in Poetics. The two trajectories of Romanticism are discussed, the philosophical trajectory through Berlin’s idea of Counter-Enlightenment—the immanent critique of metaphysics—and the aesthetic trajectory through Blake’s vision of what is possible if the doors of perception can be cleansed. The novels of Australia’s Patrick White introduce the concept of Modernism and his attempt to “imagine the real”. The novels of Margaret Atwood introduce the concept of Postmodernism, tracing her literary evolution from an author focused on female identity to one concerned with the future of humanity. The novels of Graham Greene and Muriel Spark are discussed as two different Catholic responses to Modernism. The novels of Marilynne Robinson and Douglas Wilson are discussed as two different Protestant responses to Calvinism.

How does historical reality interrelate with fiction? And how much are readers themselves involved in the workings of fictional literature? With innovative interpretations of various well-known texts, Nourit Melcer-Padon introduces the use of literary masks and illustrates literature's engagement of its readers' ethical judgement. She promotes a new perception of literary theory and of connections between thinkers such as Iser, Castoriadis, Sartre, Jung and Neumann. The book offers a unique view on the role of the community in post-existentialist modern cultural reality by emphasizing the importance of ritual practices in literature as a cultural manifestation.
