Thomas Hardy's Short Stories New Perspectives

Thomas Hardy's Short Stories New Perspectives

Thomas Hardy penned nearly fifty short stories but in spite of this impressive number his contributions to the genre have been relatively understudied. Bringing together an international group of scholars this is the first edited collection devoted solely to Hardy's works of short fiction. The contributors take up topics related to their publication in periodicals gender and community relationships and narrative techniques. Taken together the essays show that Hardy's short stories are important not only for what they tell us about Hardy as a writer who straddles the divide between the traditionalist and the modernist but also for how they reflect and inform the period in which he wrote. | Thomas Hardy's Short Stories New Perspectives

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

In this book Steve Gronert Ellerhoff explores short stories by Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut written between 1943 and 1968 with a post-Jungian approach. Drawing upon archetypal theories of myth from Joseph Campbell James Hillman and their forbearer C. G. Jung Ellerhoff demonstrates how short fiction follows archetypal patterns that can illuminate our understanding of the authors their times and their culture. In practice a post-Jungian ‘mythodology’ is shown to yield great insights for the literary criticism of short fiction. Chapters in this volume carefully contextualise and historicize each story including Bradbury and Vonnegut’s earliest and most imaginatively fantastic works. The archetypal constellations shaping Vonnegut’s early works are shown to be war and fragmentation while those in Bradbury’s are family and the wholeness of the sun. Analysis is complemented by the explored significance of illustrations that featured alongside the stories in their first publications. By uncovering the ways these popular writers redressed old myths in new tropes—and coined new narrative elements for hopes and fears born of their era—the book reveals a fresh method which can be applied to all imaginative short stories increasing understanding and critical engagement. Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut is an important text for a number of fields from Jungian and Post-Jungian studies to short story theoriesand American studies to Bradbury and Vonnegut studies. Scholars and students of literature will come away with a renewed appreciation for an archetypal approach to criticism while the book will also be of great interest to practising depth psychologists seeking to incorporate short stories into therapy. | Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House
