Georg Büchner: Biographie

George Eliot (Modern Novelists)

A fresh look at George Eliot as inaugurator of a modern fictional world, as a provider of texts which stimulate radical questioning in religion, sociology, politics, economics and history. Alan Bellringer doubts the omniscience of the George Eliot authorial voice, regards her main theme of consentenaity of development as one which problematises unity and centrality, and examines the six main novels and six shorter tales as loci of cultural controversy which are still at the forefront of critical attention over a hundred years after the death of this woman-writer; hers was a death, which whenever it had occurred, would always have been felt as premature.

George Eliot: Godless Woman (Writers in their Time)

This book considers George Eliot's individual stand on early feminist issues, why she 'lived in sin' but defended marriage, and was claimed by opposing political parties as their particular champion. It analyses the novels in relation to Eliot's own essays, letters and poetry, and with regard to extracts from contemporary feminist journals, parliamentary speeches, newspapers and magazines. The book produces an exciting picture of Victorian concerns and conflicts, largely from the perspective of the time. There are also chapters on Eliot's personal life, and the critical reception her work has received since its publication.

Gertrude Stein (Women Writers)

In lucid and engaging prose, Jane Palatini Bowers introduces readers to Gertrude Stein's most difficult works, texts in which Stein pushes against the constraints imposed by the conventions of genre, questions the rules that confine language within pre-ordained structures, and invents a kind of 'process poetics'. Stein's repeated attempts to address through her writing the problems and paradoxes of language and literary creation challenge readers in a uniquely conscious and provocative way. Bower's account of Stein's work will be welcomed by readers who wish to meet that challenge.

H. R. F. Keating (PDF): Post-colonial Detection

In Keating’s novels, set in India, the bumbling, but always human, Inspector Ghote manages to solve crimes with a post-colonial mix of inherited Scotland Yard/Holmesian deductive methods and his understanding of his native country’s culture. This book is based on the premise that successful sleuths have much in common with cultural anthropologists—indeed the latter have often been termed detectives of cultures. Keating’s Ghote novels are in the tradition of Tony Hillerman’s Navajo Indian mysteries, and James McClure’s South African novels, which serve up the human, experiential aspects of the cultural and ethnic conflicts that newspapers miss.
