The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Originally published in 1979 the central focus of this study is the concept of culture as employed by English literary intellectuals over the preceding 100 years a period characterized by a constant process of re-definition and change. The tradition of criticism in which these intellectuals wrote represented the artistic imagination as a moral force in society and a fundamental mechanism for social change. The author traces this tradition through the writings of various English intellectuals using the three main figures of Matthew Arnold F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams to elucidate the concept. She shows through the writings of their contemporaries how the concept was employed and modified and her analysis ranges from J. S. Mill John Ruskin and William Morris through George Bernard Shaw D. H. Lawrence T. S. Eliot and R. H. Tawney to Richard Hoggard Richard Wollheim and R. S. Peters. By discussing the questions of the role of art in society and examining their treatment by different groups of intellectuals the author has supplied a basis for a forceful critique of the quality of life in modern industrial society. This book will be of interest to students of literature cultural history and the sociology of culture. | The Cultural Critics From Matthew Arnold to Raymond Williams

Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature

Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature

The Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature provides a comprehensive overview of how we study Japanese literature today. Rather than taking a purely chronological approach to the content the chapters survey the state of the field through a number of pressing issues and themes examining the ways in which it is possible to read modern Japanese literature and situate it in relation to critical theory. The Handbook examines various modes of literary production (such as fiction poetry and critical essays) as distinct forms of expression that nonetheless are closely interrelated. Attention is drawn to the idea of the bunjin as a ‘person of letters’ and a more realistic assessment is provided of how writers have engaged with ideas – not labelled a ‘novelist’ or ‘poet’ but a ‘writer’ who may at one time or another choose to write in various forms. The book provides an overview of major authors and genres by situating them within broader themes that have defined the way writers have produced literature in modern Japan as well as how those works have been read and understood by different readers in different time periods. The Routledge Handbook of Modern Japanese Literature draws from an international array of established experts in the field as well as promising young researchers. It represents a wide variety of critical approaches giving the study a broad range of perspectives. This handbook will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian Studies Literature Sociology Critical Theory and History.
