100 Diaries that Chronicled World Events

The literary critic defends the importance of Western literature from Chaucer and Shakespeare to Kafka and Beckett in this acclaimed national bestseller.“An impressive work…deeply, rightly passionate about the great books of the past.”—Michael Dirda,&nbsp;The Washington Post Book World Harold Bloom's&nbsp;The Western Canon&nbsp;is more than a required reading list—it is a “heroically brave, formidably learned” defense of the great works of literature that comprise the traditional Western Canon. Infused with a love of learning, compelling in its arguments for a unifying written culture, it argues brilliantly against the politicization of literature and presents a guide to the essential writers of&nbsp;the western literary tradition (The New York Times Book Review).Placing William Shakespeare at the “center of the canon,” Bloom examines the literary contributions of Dante Alighieri, John Milton, Jane Austen, Emily Dickenson, Leo Tolstoy, Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Pablo Neruda, and many others. Bloom's book, much-discussed and praised in publications as diverse as&nbsp;The Economist&nbsp;and&nbsp;Entertainment Weekly, offers a dazzling display of erudition and passion.

Stories of a writing life

Backstage

A provocative history of Disney's rise to cultural dominance, pulling skeletons from the corporate closet to decode the political messages hidden in all of your favorite childhood movies. 
 
In&nbsp;The Extended Universe,&nbsp;Vicky Osterweil takes us on a quest to discover how Disney's "imagineers" have made it impossible to reflect on the wonders of growing up without thinking of Disney's movies, amusement parks, and merchandising. Drawing on extensive interviews with filmmakers, screenwriters, union organizers, and Disney "adults" alike, Osterweil unearths reactionary political commitments and maleficent legal maneuvers so cartoonishly evil they would make one of Walt's own animated villains blush. 
 
Along the way, Osterweil braids together corporate skullduggery with a not entirely unsympathetic analysis of some of Disney's most famous movies. The result is an entertaining and convincing case that Disney's entire business model has been built upon a ruthless and fanatical insistence on intellectual property rights-from&nbsp;Steamboat Willie&nbsp;to&nbsp;Infinity Wars&nbsp;and beyond!

How Disney Killed the Movies and Took Over the World

The Extended Universe

A writing life, I've come to believe, is a years-long process of casting away everything you once believed for sure. Elizabeth McCracken has been writing for most of her life: bestselling novels, critically acclaimed short story collections, and unstinting memoirs. For over three decades, she has also taught creative writing to generations of students. In A Long Game, she shares all she has learned along the way, deconstructing received wisdom about fiction whilst playfully tackling the mysteries that are inherent to writing and creativity. Writing, she suggests, is about being in it for the long haul: not just about polishing prose, but how paying attention to language, character, and plot widens one's understanding of the world. Both an insight into the life of a working artist and an indispensable resource for writers, A Long Game is a future classic: a delightful, intelligent account of what it means to write and live a creative life. 'How reassuring it is to have writers like Elizabeth McCracken among us' Yiyun Li'Elizabeth McCracken is one of America's finest writers' Garth Greenwell

Little Histories

<div>A vital guide to poetry from ancient times to the present &nbsp; Poetry is language made special, so that it will be remembered and valued. It does not always work – over the centuries countless thousands of poems have been forgotten. This Little History is about some that have not. &nbsp; John Carey tells the stories behind the world’s greatest poems, from the oldest surviving one written nearly 4,000 years ago to those being written today. Carey looks at poets whose works shape our view of the world – such as Shakespeare, Whitman and Yeats – and more recent poets like Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, and Marianne Moore who have started to question what makes a poem ‘great’ in the first place. &nbsp; Little Histories – Inspiring Guides for Curious Minds </div>

A Little History of Poetry

A vivid and musical rendering of the poetry of Catullus, whose passionate verses have captivated readers for centuries &nbsp; “Catullus’s verses still ring true, reminding readers that the habits of the heart haven’t changed in millennia.”—Publishers Weekly &nbsp; In the fourteenth century, a manuscript surfaced in Verona that had been lost for more than a thousand years: the poems of Catullus (c. 84–c. 54 BCE), considered by many to be one of the greatest poets who ever lived. These poems, with their beauty, wit, tenderness, and heartbreak, are still as alive and moving today as they were two thousand years ago. &nbsp; They are dense, subtle, witty, ardent, fearless, deeply uncensored, nasty (sometimes), petty (sometimes), and always beautiful. It’s especially his love poems that have earned readers’ admiration over the centuries; the joy and the savage self-inflicted torments that he underwent in his “miserable, disastrous love affair” have been shaped into poems that for honesty and emotional power have few parallels in world literature. &nbsp; Stephen Mitchell, who is known for bringing ancient texts to vibrant new life, has now translated Catullus’s poems for a new generation of readers. These are the first translations of Catullus to reimagine his rhythms in English and thus to let contemporary readers hear the formal beauty of his verse as well as its content, which Robert Lowell calls “much more raw and direct than anything in English.”

Routledge Studies in Comparative Literature

This book investigates how contemporary novels by Knausgård, Smith, Sansal and Houellebecq reflect a profound shift from post-Cold War optimism to new narratives of uncertainty about the future. In doing so, these works explore the political discontents of our time, capturing the anxieties that are disrupting Western democracies today.
