Zustand: FINE. First printing. A critical and scholarly commentary of Dickens' visits to America, in 1842 and again in 1867-68, based on new materials, letters, diaries, and publishers' records. While giving fascinating details of the frustrations of the tours - the lack of copyright protection, the ticket speculators' systematic successes, the ups and downs of Dickens's catarrh, and the steady inroads he made into the heart of Annie Fields, his American publisher's young wife - this also makes the argument that the first visit darkened Dicken's views of society and human nature for the rest of his life, and the second visit, while somewhat more sucessful, was neither as lucrative or as smooth as Dickens wanted. Extensive notes, index. xv, 272pp. Fine in near fine dust jacket.

Softcover. Zustand: As New. First Edition. Uber-scarce in the trade, there being currently no additional copies available on-line. The prize essay here is Hisashi Ozawa's prize-winner, "John and Ishi, 'Savage' Visitors to 'Civilization': A Reconsideration of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, Imperialism and Anthropology." Sturdy, still tightly bound softcover copy, minor wear of covers in the form of slight peeling of laminate at rear panel fore-edge, but none to text-block, and with neither underlining nor highlighting. Perfectly readable, usable copy. A fine contribution to the recurring homages to the work and life of Aldous Huxley, with contributions by the two editors, Bernfried Nugel and Jerome Meckier, and also by Alessandro Maurini, Aldous Huxley, James Sexton, Gerri Kimber, Rosa Borgonovi, Brian Smith, R.S. Deese and many others. From the publisher's blurb, "Volume 12/13 of the Aldous Huxley Annual begins with a discussion of a lecture Huxley gave in Italian, an appraisal of his never-completed project of a novel on Catherine of Siena, and his recently re-discovered drawings for "Leda." Further critical articles on particular aspects of Huxley's work follow, together with the second Peter Edgerly Firchow Memorial Prize Essay by Hisashi Ozawa of King's College London. A painting by Carolyn Mary Kleefeld ushers in the second part of the book, which contains a selection of papers from the Oxford Symposium held in 2013." Volume contains scholarly apparatus in the form of, e.g., notes, index, and bibliography. [11], 12-353 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 1842, Victorian England's foremost novelist visited America, naively expecting both a return to Eden and an ideal republic that would demonstrate progress as a natural law. Instead, Charles Dickens suffered a traumatic disappointment that darkened his vision of society and human nature for the remainder of his career. His second tour, in 1867-68, ostensibly more successful, proved no antidote for the first. Using new materials-letters, diaries, and publishers' records-Jerome Meckier enumerat.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Victorian fiction has been read and analyzed from a wide range of perspectives in the past century. But how did the novelists themselves read and respond to each other's creations when they first appeared Jerome Meckier answers that intriguing question in this ground-breaking study of what he terms the Victorian realism wars.Meckier argues that nineteenth-century British fiction should be seen as a network of intersecting reactions and counteractions in which the novelists rethought and rewrote each other's novels as a way of enhancing their own credibility. In an increasingly relative world, thanks to the triumph of a scientific secularity, the goal of the novelist was to establish his or her own credentials as a realist, hence a reliable social critic, by undercutting someone else's--usually Charles Dickens's.Trollope, Mrs. Gaskell, and especially George Eliot attempted to make room for themselves in the 1850s and 1860s by pushing Dickens aside. Wilkie Collins tried a different form of parodic revaluation: he strove to outdo Dickens at the kind of novel Dickens thought he did best, the kind his other rivals tried to cancel, tone down, or repair, ostensibly for being too melodramatic but actually for expressing too negative a world view.For his part, Dickens--determined to remain inimitable--replied to all of his rivals by redoing them as spiritedly as they had reused his characters and situations to make their own statements and to discredit his.Thus Meckier redefines Victorian realism as the bravura assertion by a major novelist (or one soon to be) that he or she was a better realist than Dickens. By suggesting the ways Victorian novelist read and rewrote each other's work, this innovative study alters present day perceptions of such double-purpose novels as Felix Holt, Bleak House, Middlemarch, North and South, Hard Times, The Woman in White, and The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
