Modernist Travel Writing by David G. Farley Pdf

As the study of travel writing has grown in recent years, scholars have largely ignored the literature of modernist writers. Modernist Travel Writing: Intellectuals Abroad, by David Farley, addresses this gap by examining the ways in which a number of writers employed the techniques and stylistic innovations of modernism in their travel narratives to variously engage the political, social, and cultural milieu of the years between the world wars. Modernist Travel Writing argues that the travel book is a crucial genre for understanding the development of modernism in the years between the wars, despite the established view that travel writing during the interwar period was largely an escapist genre—one in which writers hearkened back to the realism of nineteenth-century literature in order to avoid interwar anxiety. Farley analyzes works that exist on the margins of modernism, generically and geographically, works that have yet to receive the critical attention they deserve, partly due to their classification as travel narratives and partly because of their complex modernist styles. The book begins by examining the ways that travel and the emergent travel regulations in the wake of the First World War helped shape Ezra Pound’s Cantos. From there, it goes on to examine E. E. Cummings’s frustrated attempts to navigate the “unworld” of Soviet Russia in his book Eimi,Wyndham Lewis’s satiric journey through colonial Morocco in Filibusters in Barbary,and Rebecca West’s urgent efforts to make sense of the fractious Balkan states in Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. These modernist writers traveled to countries that experienced most directly the tumult of revolution, the effects of empire, and the upheaval of war during the years between World War I and World War II. Farley’s study focuses on the question of what constitutes “evidence” for Pound, Lewis, Cummings, and West as they establish their authority as eyewitnesses, translate what they see for an audience back home, and attempt to make sense of a transformed and transforming modern world. Modernist Travel Writing makes an original contribution to the study of literary modernism while taking a distinctive look at a unique subset within the growing field of travel writing studies. David Farley’s work will be of interest to students and teachers in both of these fields as well as to early-twentieth-century literary historians and general enthusiasts of modernist studies.

EIMI: A Journey Through Soviet Russia by E. E. Cummings Pdf

A reissue of E. E. Cummings's long-unavailable, yet pointed and moving story of a journey through Soviet Russia. Unavailable for more than fifty years, EIMI finally returns. While sometimes termed a "novel," it is better described as a novelistic travelogue, the diary of a trip to Russia in the 1930s during the rise of the Stalinist government. Despite some contempt for what he witnesses, Cummings's narrator has an effective, occasionally hilarious way of evoking feelings of accord and understanding. As Ezra Pound wrote, Cummings's Soviet Union is laid "out there pellucidly on the page in all its Slavic unfinishedness, in all of its Dostoievskian slobberyness....Does any man wish to know about Russia? 'EIMI'!" A stylistic tour de force, EIMI is a mélange of styles and tones, the prose containing many abbreviations, grammatical and syntactical shifts, typographical devices, compounds, and word coinages. This is Cummings's invigorating and unique voice at its finest, and EIMI is without question one of his most substantial accomplishments.

A Big Fan of Yours by Tina Murray Pdf

In Beautiful Naples, Florida . . . When a beautiful, young actress, Winner Demming, decides to throw a surprise engagement party at a theme-park resort in Orlando, she sets the stage for a mysterious stalker to strike. But who is the stalker really after? Winner? Her famous father, Heston Demming? Or someone else? When three action figures go missing from Winner's doll collection in Naples—and each turns up mutilated, accompanied by a threatening note, the danger mounts and intrigue follows. Who is the stalker? Is it Ezra Gold, the film director whose infatuation with Winner is no secret? Is it Winner's mysterious fiance, Damian Velasquez? Is it Adair Champlain, the handsome but strange billionaire producing Winner's new series pilot? Or is it someone closer to home? Join Winner and her entourage at the Southern Seas Resort in Orlando to find out whether Winner's childhood fantasy comes true: a proposal of marriage from a prince on one knee in front of her favorite theme-park's major attraction, the Enchanted Palace—and to find out whether her father, Heston, absent for years, reunites with his wife, Poppy. But don't be surprised if danger lurks just outside the castle walls. It may be Heston's undoing. "Complicated relationships add an undercurrent of complexity to Tina Murray's latest novel, a sun-drenched Florida romp filled with movie star glitz, a handful of attempted murders, and plenty of romance." —Jaden Terrell, Author of the internationally published Jared McKean mysteries
