Literary WitUniversity of Massachusetts Press, 2000 - Počet stran: 181 "To develop this new approach, Michelson explores Mark Twain's Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar and Oscar Wilde's "Preface" to The Picture of Dorian Gray. He also offers the first extended discussion of two celebrated recent dramas - Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and Margaret Edson's Pulitzer-winning Wit - as well as insightful readings of major poems by Richard Wilbur. He concludes with a suggestive look at the contemporary revolution in cognitive science and its implications for our understanding of the comic dimension in modern literature."--BOOK JACKET. |
