Forster's major novels draws together approaches from many aspects of new critical theory. As well as essays on The Longest Journey, A Room With a View, Maurice, Howards End and A Passage to India, the volume includes a specially-commissioned essay on the recent spate of Forster films. The casebook establishes a new case for Forster as a figure of more than merely conventional interest with a central place in twentieth-century literature.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512464548113,"sku":"GOR003756047","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ WELL_READ \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51311294021905,"sku":"GOR003488289","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52474036060433,"sku":"NLS9780333601303","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0333601300.jpg?v=1759226553"},{"product_id":"henry-james-book-j-tambling-9780333687352","title":"Henry James","description":"In this new study of Henry James, which draws on novels and short stories from throughout his career, Jeremy Tambling discusses James's importance as a theorist of the novel and argues for his importance as an American. He sees all James's work as a complex engagement with America and an attempt to find something in textual form that has been missed in the actual experience of America, in comparison with what he has imagined he has found in Europe.  Tambling makes use of current critical theory, but his aim is to elucidate what it was that drove this writer to more and more difficulty in writing. This book provides the newcomer to James with a comprehensive introduction and also gives a new set of commanding arguments for re-reading and re-situating the work.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49547881677073,"sku":"GOR005228178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0333687353.jpg?v=1750973901"},{"product_id":"bleak-house-book-j-tambling-9780333658598","title":"Bleak House","description":"It is in Bleak House that Dickens the realist and Dickens the modernist are often thought to meet.  In the two intertwined but separate narratives, one from a woman's perspective and the other  forming, arguably, the first detective novel in English, Dickens confronts modern England and modernity itself. The essays collected in this New Casebook embody some of the most exciting and challenging approaches to Dickens, using deconstructive, feminist, Marxist and post-structuralist methods.  The Introduction places the various essays in the context of current critical thinking, while itself suggesting an alternative viewpoint and the potential direction of future analysis of this most rewarding and stimulating text.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50045100359953,"sku":"GOR005042776","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53443913810193,"sku":"GOR001953786","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0333658590.jpg?v=1751039024"},{"product_id":"lost-in-the-american-city-book-j-tambling-9780312238407","title":"Lost in the American City","description":"In Lost in the American City , Jeremy Tambling looks at European reactions to America and American cities in the nineteenth-century. Dickens visited America in 1842 and his American Notes and Martin Chuzzlewit set the agenda for future discussions of America. Lost in the American City looks at the Dickens legacy through Henry James in The American Scene , through H.G. Wells in The Future in America , and through Kafka, whose novel America (or The Man Who Was Never Heard of Again ) tried to re-write Dickens. Lost in the American City explores the changes in American nineteenth century urban culture which made America so different and so impossible to map for the European, and which made American modernity so unreadable and challenging.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52124819554577,"sku":"NLS9780312238407","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734861705489,"sku":"NIN9780312238407","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780312238407.jpg?v=1757459460"},{"product_id":"dickens-violence-and-the-modern-state-book-j-tambling-9780333633892","title":"Dickens, Violence and the Modern State","description":"In a radical reassessment of one of the greatest writers of all time, Dickens, Violence and the Modern State draws on the theories of Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, in addition to Julia Kristeva and Edward Said, to situate Dickens within the discourses circulating within his society - in particular those associated with modernity. Focussing on Dickens's novels written after 1848, his relationship to modernity can be seen in his treatment of violence, seen in two forms in his writing: that of the state (in the rationalising powers of Victorian bourgeois modernisation), and physical violence, as portrayed in Dickens's criminals and interest in masochism and corpses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52134524616977,"sku":"NLS9780333633892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734920327441,"sku":"NIN9780333633892","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780333633892.jpg?v=1757542891"},{"product_id":"blake-s-night-thoughts-book-j-tambling-9781403942845","title":"Blake's Night Thoughts","description":"Blake's Night Thoughts discusses Blake as a poet and artist of night, considering night through graveyard poetry and Young in the eighteenth-century, urbanism in the nineteenth and Levinas and Blanchot's writings in the twentieth.
