 Matt Sleat, "Liberal realism: A realist theory of liberal politics" English | 2013 | pages: 195 | ISBN: 0719088909, 1526122812 | PDF | 5,3 mb Political realism has recently moved to the centre of debates in contemporary political theory. In this monograph, Matt Sleat presents the first comprehensive overview of the resurgence of interest in realist political theory and develops a unique and original defence of liberal politics in realist terms. Through explorations of the work of a diverse range of thinkers, including Bernard Williams, John Rawls, Raymond Geuss, Judith Shklar, John Gray, Carl Schmitt and Max Weber, the author advances a theory of liberal realism that is consistent with the realist emphasis on disagreement and conflict yet still recognisably liberal in its concern with respecting individuals' freedom and constraining political power. The result is a unique contribution to the ongoing debates surrounding realism and an original and timely re-imagining of liberal theory for the twenty-first century. This provocative work will be of interest to students and all concerned with the possibility of realising liberalism and its moral aspirations in today's world.

 Laying Out the Bones: Death and Dying in the Modern Irish Novel from James Joyce to Anne Enright By Bridget English 2017 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0815635486 | PDF | 3 MB English sheds new light on death and dying in twentieth- and twenty-first century Irish literature as she examines the ways that Irish wake and funeral rituals shape novelistic discourse. She argues that the treatment of death in Irish novels offers a way of making sense of mortality and provides insight into Ireland's cultural and historical experience of death. Combining key concepts from narrative theory-such as readers' competing desires for a story and for closure-with Irish cultural analyses and literary criticism, English performs astute close readings of death in select novels by Joyce, Beckett, Kate O'Brien, John McGahern, and Anne Enright. With each chapter, she demonstrates how novelistic narrative serves as a way of mediating between the physical facts of death and its lasting impact on the living. English suggests that while Catholic conceptions of death have always been challenged by alternative secular value systems, these systems have also struggled to find meaningful alternatives to the consolation offered by religious conceptions of the afterlife.  Laugh or Cry : The British Soldier on the Western Front, 1914-1918 by Peter Hart and Gary Bain English | 2022 | ISBN: 1399068776 | 256 Pages | True ePUB | 5.6 MB  Latinity and Identity in Anglo-Saxon Literature By Rebecca Stephenson, Emily V. Thornbury (eds.) 2016 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 1442637587 | EPUB | 3 MB For the Anglo-Saxons, Latin was a language of choice that revealed a multitude of beliefs and desires about themselves as subjects, believers, scholars, and artists. In this groundbreaking collection, ten leading scholars explore the intersections between identity and Latin language and literature in Anglo-Saxon England. Ranging from the works of the Venerable Bede and St Boniface in the eighth century to Osbern's account of eleventh-century Canterbury, 'Latinity and Identity in Anglo-Saxon Literature' offers new insights into the Anglo-Saxons' ideas about literary form, monasticism, language, and national identity.Latin prose, poetry, and musical styles are reconsidered, as is the relationship between Latin and Old English. Monastic identity, intertwined as it was with the learning of Latin and reformation of the self, is also an important theme. By offering fresh perspectives on texts both famous and neglected, 'Latinity and Identity' will transform readers' views of Anglo-Latin literature.  David Maughan Brown, Stephen Clingman, "Land, Freedom and Fiction: History and Ideology in Kenya" English | 2017 | pages: 301 | ISBN: 1786990709 | PDF | 381,3 mb This now classic work examines the contrasting ways in which the Mau Mau struggle for land and independence in Kenya was mirrored, and usually distorted, by successive generations of English and white Kenyan authors, as well as by indigenous Kenyan novelists. Against the turbulent background of the Mau Mau Uprising, Dr Maughan-Brown explores the relationship between history, literary creation and the myths that societies cultivate. Spanning the breadth of colonial and post-colonial African literature, his subjects range from the colonialist authors Robert Ruark and Elspeth Huxley to the post-independence novels of Meja Mwangi and Ngugi wa Thiong'o. |
