Paperback. Zustand: Good. "A Good Man Is Hard to Find" is Flannery O'Connor's most famous and most discussed story. O'Connor herself singled it out by making it the title piece of her first collection and the story she most often chose for readings or talks to students. It is an unforgettable tale, both riveting and comic, of the confrontation of a family with violence and sudden death. More than anything else O'Connor ever wrote, this story mixes the comedy, violence, and religious concerns that characterize her fiction. This casebook for the story includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of the author's life, the authoritative text of the story itself, comments and letters by O'Connor about the story, critical essays, and a bibliography. The critical essays span more than twenty years of commentary and suggest several approaches to the story--formalistic, thematic, deconstructionist-- all within the grasp of the undergraduate, while the introduction also points interested students toward still other resources. Useful for both beginning and advanced students, this casebook provides an in-depth introduction to one of America's most gifted modern writers. …

Dustwrapper clean and bright. ***236mm x 160mm. 376 pages including a detailed Glossary, a list of Biblical Texts, Bibliography and Index at the back of the book. ***'John Donne was one of the most gifted preachers of his time, and his sermons are considered by many modern readers to be as intriguing and artful as his poetry. For students of literature and rhetoric, Donne's sermons reveal the fundamental assumptions that he and his age held about language, especially the language of Scripture and of devotional literature. For students of religion, those sermons present the theological basis for much religious writing of the period. In "John Donne and the |Theology of Language", Stanwod and Asals have selected passages from Donne's sermons relating to his theory of language and have provided introductions and notes that set the context for Donne's words and a glossary that defines terms unfamiliar to most modern readers. The selections are grounded by subject matter so that the elements of theology and rhetoric can be studied independently. Taken together, the selections provide a framework for understanding the theological and rhetorical underpinnings of early seventeenth-century poetry and prose, a framework that is not available in any one seventeenth-century work.' (Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper) ***A near fine copy of the true first edition, complete in its original dustwrapper. Printed on quality acid-free paper. A very detailed study of the poetry of John Donne in very nice bright condition.
