Public ISBD Titre : Modernism : Guide to European Literature 1890 - 1930 Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Malcolm Bradbury, Auteur Editeur : england : Penguin books Année de publication : 1991 Importance : 687p. Format : 13x20 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-013832-0 Langues : Français (fre) Langues originales : Français (fre) Index. décimale : 820 Littérature de langue anglaise Résumé : A professor of English literature and American studies who has published numerous critical works, Malcolm Bradbury is also a novelist whose protagonists are academics who make muddles of their personal and professional lives. He maintains that his main concern is to explore problems and dilemmas of liberalism and issues of moral responsibility. The targets of Bradbury's satires include intellectual pretension, cultural myopia, and official smugness. His protagonists are largely sympathetic, if comic, failures at mastering their own fates in a world of absurd rules and regulations. His major novels include Eating People Is Wrong (1959), Stepping Westward (1965), and The History Man (1975). This last, a novel of intellectual and political conflict at an English university in the late 1960s, was made into a successful television minidrama. More recent novels include Rates of Exchange (1983) and Cuts (1987).

The Penguin Book Of Modern British Short Stories / Malcolm Bradbury  

Public ISBD Titre : The Penguin Book Of Modern British Short Stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Malcolm Bradbury, Auteur Editeur : Penguin books Année de publication : 1988 Importance : 448P Format : 19CM*12CM ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-14-006306-6 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 820 Littérature de langue anglaise Résumé : This anthology is in many ways a 'best of the best', containing gems from thirty-four of Britain's outstanding contemporary writers. It is a book to dip into, to read from cover to cover, to lend to friends and read again. It includes stories of love and crime, stories touched with comedy and the supernatural, stories set in London, Los Angeles, Bucharest and Tokyo. Above all, as you will discover, it satisfies Samuel Butler's anarchic pleasure principle: 'I should like to like Schumann's music better than I do; I daresay I could make myself like it better if I tried; but I do not like having to try to make myself like things; I like things that make me like them at once and no trying at all.
