  • From Individual to Collective

    Virginia Woolf’s Developing Concept of Consciousness

    by Masako Nasu ...
    Series Book 17 - Critical Perspectives on English and American Literature, Communication and Culture
    This book argues that a profound shift can be found in the works of Virginia Woolf, from an early «pursuit of the individual» to a late «pursuit of the collective». Evidence for this shift is found both in the narrative modes she employed and the methods by which thought is represented in the works themselves, and in ideas and ruminations found in Woolf’s diaries and essays. The stylistic analysis ... Read more

    Series Book 27 - Cultural History and Literary Imagination

    by Beatriz Penas-Ibáñez, María José Álvarez-Faedo ...
    Series Book 18 - Critical Perspectives on English and American Literature, Communication and Culture
    Since Forster’s death in 1970, many British novelists and film directors have acknowledged and even claimed the influence of the novelist of the English soul (in Woolf’s terms) and of a renewed faith in both human relationships and a quintessentially British liberal-humanism. After the ethical turn at the end of the twentieth century, British literature today seems to go back even more drastically ... Read more

    Etzer Vilaire

    by Wedsly Turenne Guerrier ...
    Series Book 67 - Francophone Cultures and Literatures
    Le poète Etzer Vilaire (1872–1951) a fait l’objet de nombreuses critiques de la part des intellectuels car son œuvre s’écarte de la conception dominante de la poésie haïtienne adossée à une politique ouverte et une place importante accordée à la “couleur locale” et à la langue créole, en tant qu’incarnation d’une conscience raciale et nationale. Je défends la thèse selon laquelle de tels rejets ... Read more
