Booth (22 FeB. 1921–10 oCt. 2005). As�recently�as�March�2005,�in�his� eighty-fourth�year,�Wayne�Booth,�one�of�the�preeminent�literary�theorists�of�the�last� half�of�the�twentieth�century,�was�once�more�in�an�undergraduate�humanities�class- room�at�the�University�of�Chicago,�even�as�he�was�completing�his�last�book,�his�autobi- ography,�My Many Selves: The Quest for a Plausible Harmony (2006).�Teaching,�learning,� and�writing�were�all�manifestations�of�Wayne’s�profound�commitment�to�shared�under- standings�as�a�way�of�making�the�world�a�better�place.�“We�are�all�here�on�earth�to�help� each�other,�but�what�the�others�are�here�for,�God�only�knows”—the�W.�H.�Auden�quota- tion�serving�as�one�epigraph�to�chapter�1�of�A Rhetoric of Irony—captures�through�its� mixture�of�the�literal�and�the�ironic�much�of�what�Wayne�believed�and�practiced. Born�in�American�Fork,�Utah,�tracing�his�descent�from�Mormon�pioneers,�and� growing�up�surrounded�by�moral�absolutes,�Wayne�accepted�a�mission�call�in�Pennsyl- vania�at�age�twenty�despite�his�increasing�doubts.�His�serious�wrestling�with�the�tenets� of�Mormonism�ultimately�led�him�away�from�the�church�but�profoundly�influenced� the�character�and�quality�of�his�intellectual�life�thereafter�and�helped�shape�his�turn� toward�ethical�criticism�and�his�interest�in�rhetoric�as�an�ethical�act.�Wayne�earned�his� BA�from�Brigham�Young�University�in�1944,�served�a�stint�in�the�army�during�1944–46,� and�then�continued�his�studies�at�the�University�of�Chicago,�where�he�earned�his�MA� in�1947�and�his�PhD�in�1950,�working�with�the�noted�neo-Aristotelian�scholars�Richard� McKeon�and�R.�S.�Crane,�on�whose�insights�he�would�advance�considerably,�as�he�trans- formed�their�concern�with�the�poetics�of�literary�form�into�an�approach�to�literature�as� rhetoric.�He�began�his�career�as�an�assistant�professor�at�Haverford�College�and�then� moved�in�1953�to�Earlham�College�as�professor�of�English�and�chair�of�the�department� before�he�was�recruited�in�1962�to�serve�as�the�George�M.�Pullman�Professor�at�the� University�of�Chicago,�where�he�spent�the�rest�of�his�academic�career. In�the�groundbreaking Rhetoric of Fiction (1961),�Wayne�Booth�introduced�readers� to�previously�unexplored�territory,�where�we�would�discover�literature�as�a�complex� rhetorical�and�ethical�act�and�our�reading�of�literature�as�an�intricate�process�of�grasp- ing�our�relation�to�implied�author�and�narrator�so�as�to�discern�and�disentangle�the� strategies�by�which�we�are�seduced�by�narratives.�One�marker�of�the�book’s�influence� is�that�many�of�its�terms,�especially�implied author�and�unreliable narrator,�are�so�much� a�part�of�the�lingua�franca�of�literary�criticism�that�they�are�frequently�used�without� source�citation.�Booth’s�work�on�the�rhetoric�and�ethics�of�narrative�eventually�led� him�to�his�second-most-influential�book,�The Company We Keep (1988).�“Read�as�you� would�have�others�read�you;�listen�as�you�would�have�others�listen”—Wayne’s�advice� in�Company�leads�us�from�books�to�life�and�back�again�to�books.�The�advice�invites�us� to�illuminate�our�lives�and�to�guide�our�interactions�with�others�by�how�we�best�engage� with�literature�as�well�as�by�what�we�learn�from�engaging�with�it.

ELIzABETH�LANGLAND edith Gentner Kern (7 FeB. 1912–29 Sept. 2005).�Edith�Kern�was�president�of�the� MLA�in�1977.�Greatly�quoted�in�studies�of�French�drama,�she�was�a�comparatist�of�note,� of�the�generation�of�René�Wellek�and�those�other�admirable�Old�World�teachers.�Like� them,�she�was�utterly�polyglot,�and�charming�in�all�the�languages�she�spoke. Not�only�was�Edith�able�to�cite�from�several�languages,�but�she�had�read�widely,� and�in�depth.�On�many�occasions,�she�showed�how�writers�who�may�seem�to�most�of�us� obscure,�to�say�the�least,�were�important�to�various�movements:�see,�for�example,�her� work The Influence of Heinsius and Vossius upon French Dramatic Theory (1949). Edith�Kern�was�especially�known�for�her�studies�of�Samuel�Beckett,�whom�she� knew�and�frequently�quoted.�An�authority�also�on�existentialism�and�on�the�theater�of� the�absurd,�she�was�interested�in�the�interconnections�between�narrative�techniques� and�dramatic�ones.�She�was�a�splendid�editor,�compiling�Sartre: A Collection of Critical Essays�(1962).�She�combined�many�of�her�interests�in�Existential Thought and Fictional Technique: Kierkegaard, Sartre, Beckett�(1970). Her�sense�of�humor�was�memorable,�and�she�celebrated�humor�in�general�with� glee.�Think�of�her�book�The Absolute Comic (1980). �She�was�a�gracious�person,�always�willing�to�discuss�her�interests�with�younger� scholars.�I�well�remember�her�salon�apartment�on�Washington�Square,�filled�with� young�people�and�conversation�in�several�languages.�Her�friends�were�as�learned�as� she�was:�she�was�close�to�a�philosopher�called�Edward�Robinson,�one�of�Heidegger’s� translators,�who�would�enthuse�about�her�to�me.�He�had�actually�prepared�a�house�for� them,�with�a�double�sink—I�was�very�impressed,�by�him,�by�her,�by�them.

KroniK (18�May 1931–22�Jan. 2006).�In�December�2001,�John�Kronik�retired� from�his�professorship�in�the�Department�of�Romance�Studies�at�Cornell�University� after�a�distinguished�career�of�thirty-five�years�in�that�institution.�Freed�from�residence� in�one�place,�he�became,�if�anything,�even�more�of�a�presence�in�our�field,�accept- ing�invitations�as�a�visiting�professor�hither�and�yon,�presenting�papers�at�multiple� conferences,�staffing�departmental�evaluation�committees,�and�so�forth.�His�visibility� and�influence�grew�on�account�of�the�ubiquitousness�afforded�to�him�by�his�emeritus� status.�News�of�his�passing�cast�a�pall�over�the�entire�field�of�Hispanic�studies,�accus- tomed�as�we�had�become�to�this�bustle�of�activity,�which�belied�any�notion�of�John’s� retirement.�This�memorial�note�appears�in�PMLA�in�a�series�that�until�now�had�marked� the�deaths�of�former�presidents�of�the�association.�While�John�never�held�that�position,� his�editorship�of�PMLA�for�seven�years�and�his�other�contributions�to�the�profession� amply�justify�this�inclusion.�But�there�is�also�the�belief�in�our�field—the�fact,�some� would�say—that�John�was�the�unelected�yet�uncontested�elder�statesman�of�Hispanism� in�the�United�States. John�Kronik�was�born�in�Vienna�in�1931,�and�while�he�was�still�a�boy,�his�family� left�that�city�and�eventually�settled�in�the�United�States.�He�received�an�undergradu- ate�degree�from�Queens�College�in�1952,�followed�by�an�MA�(1953)�and�a�PhD�(1960)� from�the�University�of�Wisconsin,�Madison.�After�brief�stints�at�Hamilton�College�and� the�University�of�Illinois,�Urbana,�he�joined�the�faculty�at�Cornell�in�1966,�where�he� remained�until�his�retirement.�At�Cornell�he�initiated�generations�of�undergraduate� and�graduate�students�into�the�reverence�for�Benito�Pérez�Galdós,�whose�labyrinthine� realist�universe�he�deemed�as�deserving�of�close�study�as�those�of�Galdós’s�counter- parts�Dickens�and�Balzac.�He�published�important�articles�on�Galdós,�Clarín,�Emilia� Pardo�Bazán,�Camilo�José�Cela,�Carmen�Laforet,�Carmen�Martín�Gaite,�Antonio�Buero� Vallejo,�and�Fernando�Arrabal,�coedited�anthologies�of�scholarly�essays�on�modern� Spanish�literature,�and�penned�substantial�opinion�pieces�on�professional�matters.� He�was�president�of�the�Asociación�Internacional�de�Galdosistas�from�1981�to�1985� and�editor�of�its�official�journal,�the�Anales Galdosianos,�from�1985�to�1990.�In�1992�he� received�the�Distinguished�Retiring�Editor�Award�from�the�Council�of�Editors�of�Learned� Journals�in�recognition�of�his�editorial�work. John�was�the�first�person�to�serve�as�editor�of�PMLA�after�the�position�was�sepa- rated�from�that�of�the�MLA�executive�director.�That�fact,�and�his�tenure�for�seven�years,� allowed�him�to�reinvent�the�office�of�editor�of�PMLA�and�the�journal’s�editorial�process.� His�successors�in�that�post—Domna�C.�Stanton,�Martha�Banta,�Marianne�Hirsch,�and� I—drew�heavily�on�John’s�wisdom�and�editorial�smarts.�I,�for�one,�may�have�abused�his� willingness�to�offer�advice�in�my�search�for�guidance�in�facing�the�challenges�of�the�job� and�developing�the�necessary�thick�skin. As�a�student�at�Cornell,�I�took�several�of�John’s�classes�on�nineteenth-century� Spanish�realism�and�on�contemporary�Spanish�literature.�It�was�in�one�of�his�classes� that�I�had�that�epiphany�which�launches�you�on�the�road�to�becoming�the�best�teacher� you�can�be:�while�allowing�every�student�to�contribute�to�the�discussion�at�will�and� letting�the�class�follow�the�varied�lines�of�questioning�thus�opened,�John�wove�that� spontaneous�movement�into�a�trajectory�that�took�the�class�through�every�one�of�the� issues�and�problems�he�wanted�to�address�in�his�own�discourse�on�the�work�at�hand.� I�understood�then�that�the�debate�about�whether�good�teachers�are�born�or�made� was�moot:�that�the�generosity�to�really�hear�what�your�students�have�to�say�cannot� be�learned,�and�that�acquiring�the�skills�needed�to�orchestrate�the�score�of�a�class� demands�a�great�deal�of�toil.�I�have�been�teaching�for�many�years—enough�so�that� jadedness�has�every�reason�to�have�set�in—yet�I�still�get�a�bit�nervous�the�first�day�I� meet�a�new�class.�And�I�have�John�to�thank�for�that�bittersweet�gift. In�the�1997�issue�of�Profession,�John�published�a�trenchant,�witty,�and�moving� meditation�(a�combination�that�was�his�trademark)�on�the�relation�between�research� and�teaching,�or,�more�exactly,�between�publishing�and�teaching,�since�the�crux�of�the� piece�was,�precisely,�that�publication�had�come�to�be�synonymous�with�research.�In�it� John�defines�himself�resolutely�and�foremost�as�a�pedagogue: o sc a r & a ss o ci at es , i n c . 558� In�Memoriam  [  P M L A     559 I�have�two�neighbors�who�are�also�on�the�Cornell�faculty�(I�live�in�an�academic�ghetto).� When�the�three�of�us�are�asked,�“What�do�you�do?,”�one�of�us�answers,�“I’m�a�physi- cist”;�the�second�says,�“I’m�an�engineer”;�and�the�third—yours�truly—replies,�“I� teach.”�(Which�of�course�always�invites�a�follow-up�question:�“What�do�you�teach?”�To� my�answer,�“Hispanic�literature,”�the�best�reaction�I�ever�got�was�from�a�newspaper- woman�in�Anchorage,�Alaska,�who�cooed:�“Oh,�how�elegant!”)�Don’t�you,�too,�identify� yourselves�as�teachers?�Isn’t�that�your�essence,�your�elegant�essence?�Deep�down,�I� know�what�means�most�to�me�and�where�I�seek�my�immortality:�warm�bodies�that� hold�me�in�their�memories,�not�my�name�in�cold�black�print.� (162) Since�John’s�passing,�numerous�colleagues�and�friends�have�expressed�to�me�that�he� was�the�best�teacher�they�ever�had,�that�he�furthered�their�careers�when�they�had�no�real� claim�to�his�help,�that�John�taught�them�everything�they�know�that�is�important�academi- cally�and�professionally,�and�that�they�cannot�imagine�this�profession�without�him.

Tampoco hay muchos estudios teóricos extensos que centren su atención sobre las alternancias morfofonológicas. Este trabajo pretende cubrir esta laguna teórica recopilando, desde una visión crítica, todos aquellos factores que determinan la historia de estos fenómenos, que han sido tratados de forma dispar por las diferentes corrientes lingüísticas. De este modo, este estudio es una teoría de la morfofonología ejemplificada principalmente con casos de alternancias en español. La investigación se estructura en dos dominios. 1) La primera parte es una reflexión teórica sobre la caracterización de los procesos morfofonológicos. Se presentan los problemas de delimitación de estas alternancias frente a otros tipos de alomorfia y se analizan los rasgos condicionantes de su historia. Se defiende la teoría del reanálisis frente a la segmentación morfemática, como posible explicación de la lexicalización y del cambio analógico de algunas alternancias. 2) La segunda parte es una historia de la morfofonología como disciplina teórica. Se analiza de forma crítica el tratamiento descriptivo y/o explicativo que las distintas corrientes lingüísticas le han otorgado a las alternancias morfofonológicas a lo largo de la historia. Asimismo, se propone un modelo explicativo de corte cognitivista elaborado principalmente a partir de los presupuestos de la teoría natural, el modelo de organización léxica y morfológica de Bybee, el modelo analógico de Skousen y algunas investigaciones psicolingüísticas.

Mientras que una película doblada se ve y se escucha simultáneamente, la película subtitulada introduce un componente añadido de presión temporal: el acto de leer. El propósito de este trabajo es dar cuenta del papel destacado de los subtítulos a través de una caracterización de las rutinas básicas que se emplean en su preparación, junto con las convenciones relativas al uso del español en el subtitulado de películas de habla inglesa. En este sentido, los resultados nos permiten constatar en qué medida los subtítulos añaden significado a una película, y cómo en una película subtitulada el requerimiento de leer se convierte en un obstáculo que el espectador puede llegar a superar hasta el punto de fijar su atención en la experiencia básica de la película, dado que la dimensión temporal queda totalmente controlada.

Two major categories of relational words are prepositions and positions, the difference between them having to do with whether they precede or follow their object. There is a relatively small group of words of the same general type which can be placed either before or after their object. Such words have been given the name ambipositions. A possible (though not uncontroversial) example from English is through, e.g. he walked through the forest and he slept the whole night through. Other examples are German entlang and Ancient Greek peri. This book is a detailed examination of this unusual type of word. Contents: Preface, Abbreviations, 1 Introduction, 2 Ambipositions with Simple Behavior, 3 Meaning Differences Depending on Position, 4 Ambipositions with Case Marking Differences in Different Positions, 5 Differences in Types of Complement Allowed, 6 Differences in Form of Prepositional and Postpositional Occurrences, 7 Ambipositions from an Historical Point of View, 8 Conclusion, References.

Marsden “Marsden adroitly and consistently elucidates how the female fi gure at the center of tragedy provides a useful gauge of such signifi cant social, political, and cultural concerns as the management of female sexuality and desire, the status of masculine authority, and the articulation of national character.” —Lisa Freeman, University of Illinois at Chicago $45.00 cloth Communities of Memory On Witness, Identity, and Justice W. James Booth “W. James Booth’s book is a beautiful set of meditations on the morality and politics of memory. Its dual themes are death and justice: how do we do justice to the dead—especially those who were victims of political crime?” —Ronald Beiner, University of Toronto $42.50 cloth An Anatomy of Trade in Medieval Writing Value, Consent, and Community Lianna Farber “Farber here searches the understanding in medieval texts and discourses of what we would now call economic activity and what then might pass as trade. Since such a topic is nowhere to be simply found in medieval texts, Farber has to glean it from a remarkable range of sources.” —David Wallace, University of Pennsylvania $39.95 cloth Color Monitors The Black Face of Technology in America Martin Kevorkian “Color Monitors provides a much-needed survey of racialized representations vis-à-vis technology in contemporary mainstream American culture.” —Alexander Weheliye, Northwestern University $59.95 cloth, $17.95 paper Thinking in Time An Introduction to Henri Bergson Suzanne Guerlac “Thinking in Time is not only a ‘reader’s guide’ or introduction to Bergson’s fi rst major books; it also puts the general philosophy of Bergson in a double historical perspective.” —Frédéric Worms, Université Charles-de-Gaulle-Lille 3 $49.95 cloth, $18.95 paper www.cornellpress.cornell.edu 1-800-666-2211 Cornell University Press Ovid’s Art and the Wife of Bath The Ethics of Erotic Violence Marilynn Desmond “This book should appeal to a very wide readership from classicists to medievalists to feminist scholars, for whom it will provide an exciting and sophisticated alternative to fl at and reductive ideas about medieval misogyny and courtly love.” —Sherron E.

This is major work, haunted by a sense of totality always present in the formal intricacy and in the roles cities and architecture play.” —Charles Altieri, author of The Art of Twentieth-Century American Poetry $45.00 cloth, $16.95 paper The Wilds MARK LEVINE In his third book of poems, Levine continues his exploration of the rhythms and forms of memory. Austere and lyrical, the music of these poems resonates with echoes of poetic tradition and is singularly modern. $45.00 cloth, $16.95 paper The Three Way Tavern Selected Poems KO UN Foreword by Gary Snyder, Translations by Clare You and Richard Silberg “Ko Un is a crucial poet for the twen- ty-first century and this is an enor- mously fresh and vivid translation.” —Robert Hass $45.00 cloth, $16.95 paper New in the New California Poetry Series At bookstores or (800) 822-6657 • www.ucpress.edu On Earth Last Poems and an Essay ROBERT CREELEY “On Earth provides a kind of closure on a rich poetic life and brings us inti- mately in contact with the poet’s final thoughts on the great themes of time and memory.”—Michael Davidson $21.95 cloth Poetic License 586� � LITERATURE AS CONDUCT Speech Acts in Henry James J.

Nichols, Gerald Prince, and Wendy Steiner, Series Editors The Violence of Modernity Baudelaire, Irony, and the Politics of Form Debarati Sanyal “In her distinctive, innovative, and provocative work, Sanyal interprets Baudelaire’s response to modernity as fundamentally political, and she conceives his strategies of under- standing and interpretation as a concerted resistance to modernity’s violence.” —Richard Terdiman, University of California, Santa Cruz $60.00 hardcover Passions of the Sign Revolution and Language in Kant, Goethe, and Kleist Andreas Gailus “Elegantly written and thoroughly researched, Passions of the Sign is a study of the philo- sophical and literary response to moments of foundational crisis in works by Kant, Goethe, and Kleist. It combines, in a sort of seamless perfection that is really quite rare, delicate textual analysis with an awareness of broader theoretical concerns. It treats figures of staggering importance and it ad- dresses issues of pressing significance to the humanities.” —David E.

Lucid in its exposition of complex philosophi- cal and linguistic theories, whether from the 15th century or the 20th, this exceptional book will help us to advance constructively to the 21st.” —Choice $25.00 paperback French Writers and the Politics of Complicity Crises of Democracy in the 1940s and 1990s Richard J. Golsan “Golsan sets out to explore the mo- tives, consequences, and implications of political complicity during two periods of twentieth-century French history. Each of the six case studies of Montherlant, de Châteaubriant, Giono, Debray, Finkielkraut, and Courtois raises a different set of questions, providing a wide-ranging view of French cultural politics. Golsan’s knowledge of the periods in question is extensive and his scholarship is impeccable: well documented, well reasoned, fully contextualized, elegantly and clearly expressed.” —Lynn Higgins, Dartmouth College $55.00 hardcover Race Mixing Southern Fiction since the Sixties Suzanne W.

Dealing mainly with Renaissance works by Spenser, Milton and Shakespeare, the study grounds itself in Virgil and concludes with pastoral’s transmuted after- life in Wordsworth and Samuel Beckett.

And it marks a major intervention in the scholarly debates over Milton’s controversial depic- tion of God in Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes. . . .A major contribution to our understanding of Milton’s God . . . and to the broader area of Milton’s theology.” —David Loewenstein, University of Wisconsin, Madison ISBN: 0-8207-0374-5 $60.00s cloth Divine Subjection: The Rhetoric of Sacramental Devotion in Early Modern England GARY KUCHAR Through readings of works by Robert Southwell, Richard Crashaw, John Donne and Thomas Trah- erne, Divine Subjection explores how writers reimag- ined the sacramental continuity between divine and human orders amid a range of theological and philo- sophical conflicts. Kuchar examines how rhetoric of sacramental devotion works to construct ideal reli- gious subjects within and against the broader expe- rience of desacralization. ISBN: 0-8207-0370-2 $58.00s cloth Single Imperfection: Milton, Marriage and Friendship THOMAS H. LUXON John Milton assumed a leading role in the redefini- tion of Protestant marriage as a hetero-erotic version of classical friendship. Understanding Milton’s work as a part of a major cultural project, Single Imperfection takes a fresh look at John Milton’s poems in the light of a new analysis of his famous doctrine of marriage and tracts on divorce.

This is of course to take great—though also necessary—risks in our post-deconstructive era. Lyu’s text invokes my whole reading self in a manner that little contemporary scholarship does.” —Janet Beizer, Harvard University “An inspired, necessary rereading of Latin America’s avant- gardes as a self-aware negotiation with the expanding geopol- itics of their time. [Rosenberg] builds a compelling case for the avant-gardes’ resilient import for current discussions of the global dynamics of cultural production and their anticipatory challenge to the putative modern/postmodern divide.” —Vicky Unruh, University of Kansas “Only a book as eloquently composed and carefully reasoned as this one could provide the critical optimism missing from the Humanities today. Miller's intelligent and moving study gives me hope that writing does matter after all, even and especially in the face of our greatest national traumas. This book is humanistic writing at its very best.” —Diana Fuss, Princeton University “Vandevelde argues trenchantly that the practice of interpreta- tion, as both an event and an act, involves a process of justi- fication that appeals to one or more distinct but interrelated levels of meaning: author's intention, textual meaning, and representative content. A masterful display of erudition and command of contemporary theories.” —Daniel Dahlstrom, Boston University A SUN WITHIN A SUN The Power and Elegance of Poetry CLAIRE CHI-AH LYU Cloth $30.00 • 0-8229-4277-1 • 316 pp. THE AVANT-GARDE AND GEOPOLITICS IN LATIN AMERICA FERNANDO J.

Barney The first full commentary on Piers Plowman since the late nineteenth century is inaugu- rated with the publication of the first two of its five projected volumes. “A work of enormous importance. Of all the poems of the English Middle Ages, Piers Plowman is the one that most deserves and needs annotation of the fullest and best possible kind, both because it is a text of unrivaled literary quality and interest, and because it is characteristically knotty and deploys a language of unusual richness, density, and allusiveness. Much of this allusiveness is to areas of learning that are not at every modern reader’s fingertips. A particular difficulty is the existence of the poem in three authorial versions of almost desperate complexity. It will be an immense triumph to have a commentary which elucidates their relationships as a matter of policy and not simply as the result of conflating annotation on the different versions.”—Derek Pearsall VOLUME 1 APR 2006 | 488 PAGES | CLOTH | $95.00 VOLUME 5 APR 2006 | 304 PAGES | CLOTH | $65.00 BACK TO NATURE The Green and the Real in the Late Renaissance Robert N. Watson “Back to Nature is demanding, at times dizzying, in its range and boldness, the all- encompassing and often surprising nature of its conjunctions. The line of argument that runs from parts of the introduction, through As You Like It and the Marvell mower poems, by way of the Dutch painters to Traherne, really works and is genuinely im- portant.

Gass A TEMPLE OF TEXTS VINTAGE | PAPER | 448 PAGES | $16.95 When Michael Schmidt’s last book, Lives of the Poets, was published, Mark Strand called it “a tour de force, an astonishing view of the whole of poetry in English, a superb read.” Now Schmidt brings the same erudition, insight, and élan to The First Poets—the story of the ancient Greeks whose work continues to influence poetry in our own time. Combining the verifiable facts of their lives and the narratives provided by later writers, Schmidt walks the fine line between fact and scholarly con- jecture to create vivid, animated, wonderfully compelling portraits of these ancestors of our culture.

Akhmatova is a figure that Russians return to again and again, the bet- ter to understand their own history. Feinstein has done English-speaking readers a great favour by making Akhmatova’s life story, and therefore her poetry, more accessible to us than ever before.” —Anne Applebaum, The Spectator Elaine Feinstein ANNA OF ALL THE RUSSIAS A LIFE OF ANNA AKHMATOVA PANTHEON | CLOTH | 400 PAGES | $27.50 Based on Said’s popular graduate seminar, On Late Style examines the later works of writers, musi- cians, and filmmakers and describes how they dif- fered from previous work and what they tell us about the artist’s evolution. Said makes clear that, rather than being a culmination, most of the works discussed are rife with unresolved contra- diction and almost impenetrable complexity. Though these works were often unpopular at the time, they were just as often forerunners of what was to come—works of true genius. Eloquent and impassioned, brilliantly reasoned and revelatory, On Late Style is Edward Said’s own great last work. Edward W. Said ON LATE STYLE MUSIC AND LITERATURE AGAINST THE GRAIN 600� � The Heath Anthology of American Literature, 5/e Paul Lauter, General Editor ©2006 SINCE its initial publication in 1989, this premier survey text has profoundlyinfluenced the way American literature is taught across the nation.

DUVALL, eds. DON DELILLO’S SATIRIC NOVEL WHITE NOISE, prophetic in 1985 about American society’s rampant consumerism, information overload, overreliance on the media, and environmental problems, may seem to today’s students simply a description of their lived reality. The challenge for teachers, then, is to help them appreciate both the postmodern qualities of the novel and its social critique. “I believe that this collection of essays will be of great value to instructors of White Noise. The essays in the volume are lively, accessible, opinionated (in a good sense), and informative.” — DOUGLAS KEESEY California Polytechnic State University vii & 240 pp. Cloth ISBN 0-87352-918-9 $37.50 Paper ISBN 0-87352-919-7 $19.75 APPROACHES TO TEACHING DELILLO’S     603 604� � MLA International Bibliography Contact us at bibliography@mla.org.
