Gertrude Stein's Surrealist Years
Examineshow surrealism enriches our understanding of Stein’s writing through its poetics of oppositions Gertrude Stein’s Surrealist Years brings to life Stein’s surrealist sensibilities and personal values borne from her WWII anxieties, not least of which originated in a dread of anti-Semitism. Stein’s earlier works such as Tender Buttons and Lucy Church Amiably tend to prioritize formal innovations over narrative-building and overt political motifs. However, Ery Shin argues that Stein’s later works engage more with storytelling and life-writing in startling ways—most emphatically and poignantly through the surrealist lens. Beginning with The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas and ...
Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics
Global Perspectives on Eco-Aesthetics and Eco-Ethics: A Green Critique focuses on the interface of the Anthropocene, sustainability, ecological aesthetics, multispecies relationality, and the environment as reflected in literature and culture. This book examines how writers have addressed ecological crises and environmental challenges that transcend national, cultural, political, social, and linguistic borders. It demonstrates how, as the environmental humanities developed and emerged as a critical discipline, it generated a diverse range of interdisciplinary fields of study such as ecographics, ecodesign, ecocinema, ecotheology, ecofeminism, ethnobotany, ecolinguistics, and bioregionalism, and formed valuable, interdisciplinary networks of critique and advocacy—and its contemporary expansion is exceptionally salient to social, political, and public issues today.

The Fiction of Anne Tyler
The essays in this volume, most of them selected from papers presented in 1989 at the Anne Tyler Symposium sponsored by Essex Community College in Baltimore, place Tyler in a direct line from the masters of modernism, including Faulkner and Welty. The book begins with Doris Bett's analysis of Breathing Lessons, in which she examines the dynamic of opposing tensions as a key structural principle in her novels. The contributors look at the conflicting roles of kinship in her novels from a sociological perspective; the central issues of individual novels; the mentor role of Tyler's unconventional mothers-in-law; the function of residence in her fictional method and theme; and the link between her artist figures to her own view of the artistic process. Other topics are Tyler's affinity with Bellow, Drabble, and Updike; parallels between Tyler and Southern literary antecedents; and her relation to public issues. ISBN 0-87805-435-9: $27.50.
