This work questions the distinction between "high" literature and "popular" culture and draws attention to a disconcerting level of similarity between the two, finding parallels between Hollywood and Shakespeare and common elements in Lloyd Webber, Spielberg and Emily Bronte. ... Read more

"Classics and Trash"
A witty and accessible argument for the enduring necessity of Shakespeare, Milton, and many of the other "greats"--not just because English teachers SAY they are great, but because popular culture from "StarTrek" to "Jurassic Park" keeps them alive andwell. If youset yourself free from the tyranny of chronology, Hawkins argues famously,"King Kong" can influence your reading of "King Lear"just as much as the other way around.

Hawkins was cultural studies beforecultural studies was cool, and her work is ripe for a reassessment.

Mutas Mutandis, a Classic, but not Trashy either
This book has got an interesting premise, but it doesn't have as broad a scope as it's title suggests. It concentrates primarily on a relatively small number of works and doesn't draw nearly as heavily on postmodernisttheory as one might imagine. She places herself slightly on the relativistside of the cultural studies chasm, but for many she won't go far enough.She researchs the works she deals with really well and the book is wellwritten, though she uses that Lain phrase a bit much (I had to look it uptoo) Her arguements are compeeling, though the debate she deal withpolarise people so much that she's either preaching to the converted orblowing against the wind. ...

From the supplier: Comparative literature has widened its scope in an effort to cover all possible grounds which may be connected in the study. This involves two aspects, one of which is concerned with materials or texts and the other, fields of studies other than literature. Such linking, however, is not without its problems: interdisciplinarity totally shifting to transdisciplinarity. The best solution would be by categorization by genre.

Product Description
Herbert Lindenberger was one of the first literary critics to call for some kind of return to historical thinking in literary criticism. His ten essays cover canon formation, the historical status of genres, and the ways that art and criticism are embedded within institutional frameworks. Lindenberger argues that, "what we label 'historical' assumes strikingly different shapes in different historical situations" and that present shape empowers new kind of knowledge. He writes, "We may well discover that our century-old form of organization within the humanities no longer fits the type of knowledge we are producing." The lively and topical essays of The History in Literature demonstrate Lindenberger's capacious and diverse knowledge, his incisive wit, and his formidable critical skills. ... Read more

Product Description
This study examines the relationship between Enlightenment and romance through the work of James Macpherson and in particular his "The Poems of Ossian". By re-reading Macpherson's work in ways not restricted by the sterile and by now largely settled debates over authenticity, Moore establishes Ossian's credentials to be considered as romance, both in its manner of construction, its represented sensibility, and in its engagement with the potentialities and limitations of eighteenth-century discourses of sympathy and society. An increasing amount has been written on Macpherson over the last ten or so years, and at last it seems possible to talk about The "Poems of Ossian" without reference to questions of authenticity or charges of forgery. Yet the polarised debate over the authenticity of the Poems has been superseded by equally polarised arguments about such matters as the cultural significance and politics of Ossian, arguments in which the poems have been used as a convenient peg on which to hang various, often predetermined, positions.Fresh and groundbreaking, this study recentres Ossian revisionism by providing an account of a series of works increasingly talked about, but still little read or understood. ...
