Internally there is a small neat name to front endpaper else very clean, tight and unmarked. Dustjacket has age darkening, minimal wear and is not price clipped. 222 pages. What do we mean when we say that a novel is 'true to life' and that its characters are 'real'? Most moderncritics have evaded this apparently simple question or have given conventional and inadequate answers. In seeking to explore the problem further, Professor Harvey has written a general study of the novel which attempts to relate the world of fiction to our sense of such basic notions as Time, Identity and Freedom. The argument is everywhere reinforced by the criticism of particular novels: Dickens, James, Mann and Sartre are extensively considered, but many other novelists are examined for the light they throw on the central problem of the ways in which Art represents, or trnsmutes… Read More

Description:
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1995. A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket. A large format volume of xiv + 378 pages. The book traces the history of of children's books in Britain, the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand from the very first printed books through to the present day. Written by leading experts, this survey shows that children's literature reflects how childhood has been defined, controlled, and appreciated at different times. It reveals how adults have explored questions of power, entertainment, sexuality, and equality through their writing for children. A series of chronological chapters charts the 'history' which begins in the 16th century with grammars and ABC's. We move from books of instruction through to fables and fantasies in the 18th century, from reward books and romance to school stories in the 19th, and on to comics, colour picture-books, and science fiction in the 20th century. Throughout the text, books, authors, illustrators,… Read More

London: Macmillan, 1980. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which is not price clipped. ix + 201 pages. Second impression (first was 1977). The book surveys the social and intellectual changes in Europe that encouraged a determinist view of Man in 19th century Realism. It examines the growing attention that thinkers of the time paid to environment and heredity as shaping forces: and it indicates how the social consequences of the French and Industrial Revolutions made writers aware that they were living in a rapidly shifting society. The book compares the responses of the better known Realists to these developments - notably Stendhal, Balzac, Büchner, Mrs. Gaskell, Flaubert, George Eliot, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Zola, Ibsen, Fontane and Chekhov. **** NOT EX LIB **** B2B.
