While there are a number of excellent works that focus on Asian American, Asian Canadian, and Asian British literature, most tend to deal exclusively with ethnicity; only occasionally, though inevitably, do they cross over into a direct exploration of topics and themes deriving from the immigrant experience and the subsequent quest for |home.| Ideas of Home, however, focuses on that specific theme in recent literature; it explores the many challenges to Asian immigrants' sense of self and their conceptions of home. As they emerge from the discussions presented in this collection, the experiences of leaving home and arriving in a new place - and the descriptions of them in literature - are ancient ones that demand self-redefinition and resolution before the |new places| can be sincerely embraced as |home.| Works by important Asian writers, including Amitav Ghosh, Maxine Hong-Kingston, Cynthia Kadohata, Kalama Markandaya, Robinton Mistry, Bharati Muklherjee, Raja Rao, Salman Rushdie, and Amy Tan are highlighted in critical discussions of the treatment of immigrants in literature, and the complex psychological adaptation they must face when confronting the central concepts of self and home.

A History of Literature in the Caribbean By:A. James Arnold Published on 1997-08-15 by John Benjamins Publishing ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Cross-Cultural Studies is the culminating effort of a distinguished team of international scholars who have worked since the mid-1980s to create the most complete analysis of Caribbean literature ever undertaken. Conceived as a major contribution to postcolonial studies, cultural studies, cultural anthropology, and regional studies of the Caribbean and the Americas, Cross-Cultural Studies illuminates the interrelations between and among Europe, the Caribbean islands, Africa, and the American continents from the late fifteenth century to the present. Scholars from five continents bring to bear on the most salient issues of Caribbean literature theoretical and critical positions that are currently in the forefront of discussion in literature, the arts, and public policy.

Secure A Guide to English Literature

A Guide to English Literature By:F. W. Bateson Published on 1965 by AldineTransaction ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) At first glance A Guide to English Literature may seem to be no more than a short bibliography of English literature with perhaps rather more extensive--and certainly more outspoken--comments on the principal editions, commentaries, biographies, and critical works than bibliographies usually provide. But it is something more: this guide contains long |inter-chapters| that provide reinterpretations of the principal periods of English literature in the light of modern research, as well as two final sections summarizing in unusual detail the literary criticism that exists in English and recent scholarship in the field. The purpose of this book, then, is to provide the reader with convenient access to a disciplined study of the texts themselves. This guide proposes itself as a new kind of literary history. The conventional history of literature has often tended to become a substitute for

Receive An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory

An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory By:Andrew Bennett,Nicholas Royle Published on 2016-03-02 by Routledge ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Lively, original and highly readable, An Introduction to Literature, Criticism and Theory is the essential guide to literary studies. Starting at ‘The Beginning’ and concluding with ‘The End’, chapters range from the familiar, such as ‘Character’, ‘Narrative’ and ‘The Author’, to the more unusual, such as ‘Secrets’, ‘Pleasure’ and ‘Ghosts’. Now in its fifth edition, Bennett and Royle’s classic textbook successfully illuminates complex ideas by engaging directly with literary works, so that a reading of Jane Eyre opens up ways of thinking about racial difference, for example, while Chaucer, Raymond Chandler and Monty Python are all invoked in a discussion of literature and laughter. The fifth edition has been revised throughout and includes four new chapters – ‘Feelings’, ‘Wounds’, ‘Body’ and ‘Love’ – to incorporate exciting recent developments in li
