As of this writing, there appears to be no definitive collection that includes these earlier works by Balzac. On a research trip to Paris, I found no such collection. Perhaps even French publishers are too embarrased to print them fearing the reading public will not buy them. Yet another commodification process. 4. In his personal opinions, Balzac said of Cooper that he didn't equal Scott, but he had his genius. 5. Twain was less complimentary towards Cooper's writing than was Balzac, commenting on more than one occasion that he felt Cooper to be less a craftsman than an artist. A more detailed account of Twain's scorn can be found in his essay, 'James Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses.' 6. See Eric Quayle, The Ruin of Walter Scott (New York: Clarkson N.

  • Elenco Di Consistenza Del
    ISTITUTO STORICO DELLA RESISTENZA IN TOSCANA ELENCO DI CONSISTENZA DEL FONDO MICHELE CANTARELLA Censimento delle carte al maggio 2010 a cura di Eleonora Giaquinto Nota preliminare La documentazione, divisa in ventuno buste, si presenta tuttora priva di ordinamento organico e numerazione delle carte. Le buste indicate nell’elenco con i numeri provvisori 1-16 contengono carteggio, fotografie e stralci di periodici, manoscritti e inviti, in prevalenza attinenti all’archivio di Michele Cantarella. Parte della documentazione, in alcuni casi non facilmente separabile dal complesso principale, è stata prodotta invece dalla moglie Helene Paquin Cantarella, traduttrice, e si configura come un archivio aggregato. Molto materiale riguarda Gaetano Salvemini, del quale Michele Cantarella curò la bibliografia. Di questa opera si conserva nelle carte di Cantarella grandissima parte del lavoro preparatorio. Sempre di Gaetano Salvemini si conservano qui manoscritti autografi e dattiloscritti delle traduzioni in lingua inglese realizzate per lui da H. Cantarella. Nelle buste provvisoriamente indicate coi numeri 17-21 si conservano invece alcuni periodici e opuscoli a stampa, donati dal produttore all’Istituto e in parte usati per la bibliografia. A causa del poco tempo a disposizione per il presente intervento, non si è potuto procedere al riordino, ma solo alla realizzazione di un censimento del contenuto del fondo. In conseguenza di ciò non è stato possibile naturalmente né spostare alcuna carta, né procedere alla numerazione delle stesse. Quindi i numeri indicati nella descrizione, sia quelli delle buste che quelli dei fascicoli provvisori, già esistenti o formati nel corso dell’intervento, hanno il solo scopo di dare un’idea sommaria della consistenza del fondo nel suo complesso.

  • Addition to Summer Letter
    May 2020 Dear Student, You are enrolled in Advanced Placement English Literature and Composition for the coming school year. Bowling Green High School has offered this course since 1983. I thought that I would tell you a little bit about the course and what will be expected of you. Please share this letter with your parents or guardians. A.P. Literature and Composition is a year-long class that is taught on a college freshman level. This means that we will read college level texts—often from college anthologies—and we will deal with other materials generally taught in college. You should be advised that some of these texts are sophisticated and contain mature themes and/or advanced levels of difficulty. In this class we will concentrate on refining reading, writing, and critical analysis skills, as well as personal reactions to literature. A.P. Literature is not a survey course or a history of literature course so instead of studying English and world literature chronologically, we will be studying a mix of classic and contemporary pieces of fiction from all eras and from diverse cultures. This gives us an opportunity to develop more than a superficial understanding of literary works and their ideas. Writing is at the heart of this A.P. course, so you will write often in journals, in both personal and researched essays, and in creative responses. You will need to revise your writing. I have found that even good students—like you—need to refine, mature, and improve their writing skills. You will have to work diligently at revising major essays.

She attended the Ariosto Carlo Rosselli Nello Rosselli classical high school, where girls could be counted on the fingers of one Gaetano Salvemini Maria Todesco Rosselli hand. Then, instead of enrolling at the University of Ferrara, which did have an ancient tradition, she enrolled at the Alma Mater in Bologna; and in her third year, in 1919, she decided to move to Florence, to the highly recommended Istituto di studi superiori pratici e di perfezionamento, in the Philosophy Department.

  • American Book Awards 2004
    BEFORE COLUMBUS FOUNDATION PRESENTS THE AMERICAN BOOK AWARDS 2004 America was intended to be a place where freedom from discrimination was the means by which equality was achieved. Today, American culture THE is the most diverse ever on the face of this earth. Recognizing literary excel- lence demands a panoramic perspective. A narrow view strictly to the mainstream ignores all the tributaries that feed it. American literature is AMERICAN not one tradition but all traditions. From those who have been here for thousands of years to the most recent immigrants, we are all contributing to American culture. We are all being translated into a new language. BOOK Everyone should know by now that Columbus did not “discover” America. Rather, we are all still discovering America—and we must continue to do AWARDS so. The Before Columbus Foundation was founded in 1976 as a nonprofit educational and service organization dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of contemporary American multicultural literature. The goals of BCF are to provide recognition and a wider audience for the wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity that constitutes American writing. BCF has always employed the term “multicultural” not as a description of an aspect of American literature, but as a definition of all American litera- ture. BCF believes that the ingredients of America’s so-called “melting pot” are not only distinct, but integral to the unique constitution of American Culture—the whole comprises the parts. In 1978, the Board of Directors of BCF (authors, editors, and publishers representing the multicultural diversity of American Literature) decided that one of its programs should be a book award that would, for the first time, respect and honor excellence in American literature without restric- tion or bias with regard to race, sex, creed, cultural origin, size of press or ad budget, or even genre.

  • Renato Poggioli. Between History and Literature
    Pagine di storia della slavistica Studi Slavistici x (2013): 301-310 Roberto Ludovico Renato Poggioli. Between History and Literature Until the year 2007 only two critical articles had been written on Renato Poggioli: one by his colleague at Harvard University Dante Della Terza in 1971 (Della Terza 1971), and two much more recent ones: by Giuseppe Ghini (2005), and by the Belgian scholar Laurent Béghin (2005). In addition to these two articles, Ghini had circulated a short but informative bio-bibliographical document dated 2005 on the internet. These three scholars, with over a dozen others, including historians, slavicists, italianists, and comparativists, ani- mated a three-day symposium dedicated to Renato Poggioli’s centennial by three American Universities in 2007: the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Brown University and Har- vard University. The intent of the symposium was to reignite interest in Poggioli and to re- evaluate the role he had in the twentieth century’s international literary debate. Since then a number of new publications (see for instance Pavese, Poggioli 2010), newspaper articles (Pirani 2008; Canali 2008), conferences1, reprints of Poggioli’s work (Poggioli 2012), and even television broadcasts2 have contributed to rediscovering Renato Poggioli and his legacy as a scholar and as an intellectual. The collection of essaysRenato Poggioli. An Intellectual Biography, edited by the three organizers of the 2007 symposium – Lino Pertile, Massimo Riva and myself – is the first book-length publication entirely dedicated to Poggioli. Far from wanting to provide an annotated bibliography of critical literature on Pog- gioli, these few introductory notes are meant to suggest that the scarce presence of his name in literary criticism after his death in 1963 is strictly connected with his cultural profile and the unusual trajectory of the biographical events that led him to leave Florence and Italy to pursue a career as Professor of Slavic Studies and Comparative Literature at Harvard Uni- versity.

    Access Provided by University Of Texas-San Antonio at 04/22/11 3:28PM GMT Introduction Jonathan P. Eburne and Rita Felski hat is an avant-garde? In posing such a question, this is- sue of New Literary History seeks to reexamine a category that Woften seems all too self-evident. Our aim is not to draw up a fresh list of definitions, specifications, and prescriptions but to explore the conditions and repercussions of the question itself. In the spirit of analogously titled queries—from Kant’s “What is Enlightenment?” to Foucault’s “What is an Author?”—we hope to spur reflection not only on a particular object of study but also on the frameworks and critical faculties that we bring to bear on it. As Paul Mann notes, every critical text on the avant-garde, whether tacitly or overtly, “has a stake in the avant-garde, in its force or destruction, in its survival or death (or both).”1 A reassessment of these stakes is one of the priorities of this special issue. Narratives of the avant-garde abound. Whether they come to bury the avant-garde or to praise it, these narratives are typically organized around moments of shock, rupture, and youthful revolt that speak to certain beliefs about the functions of experimental art and the nature of historical change. In his 1968 Theory of the Avant-Garde, for instance, Renato Poggioli describes two major phases in the development of the avant-garde. The first stage is anchored in the leftist politics of the 1840s and the 1870s, where the notion of an advanced guard serves to authorize the political agitations and underground activities that helped trigger the revolutionary events of 1848 and the Paris Commune.

PrEMESSA Il 20 gennaio 1958, cinque giorni dopo la lettera di Harry Levin 1, due settimane prima della lettera di roman Jakobson, renato Poggioli scriveva all’Accademia svedese (Flejšman, Jangfel’dt 2013, 582-583): I hereby nominate the russian writer BOrIS PASTErNAK, born in 1890 in Moscow, and still living there, for the 1958 Nobel Prize in Literature. Boris Pasternak has distinguished himself with at least three great collections of verse: My Sister, Life (1922); Themes and Variations (1923); and The Second Birth (1932). They reveal a lyrical voice as powerful as those of Yeats, Valéry, and rilke. He is certainly the greatest poet to appear in russia since Alexander Blok.
