The book targets both the European and American college market: it is not only designed for beginners in the European system, where students have to specialize in one or two disciplines upon entering university, but it also meets the requirements for American undergraduates who have opted for a major in English and need an introduction to the more scholarly aspects of literary studies, one which goes beyond freshman Introduction to Literature courses. It therefore serves as a textbook for Introduction to English Literature classes at all major European universities or advanced undergraduate English (honors) courses in the USA and as an independent study guide. Its simple language and accessible style make the book equally apt for English native speakers as well as students of English Literature whose native language is other than English. Unlike most of the existing American textbooks geared toward freshman Introduction to Literature courses, which emphasize the first-hand reading of primary texts, this book targets a slightly more advanced audience interested in the scholarly aspects of literature. The book does not include entire literary texts, but rather draws on a number of very short excerpts to illustrate major issues of literary studies as an academic discipline. An Introduction deals with questions concerning the nature of "literature" and "text," discusses the three major textual genres, as well as film and its terminology, gives an overview of the most important periods of Literatures in English, and raises issues of literary theory. A separate section explains basic research and composition techniques pertinent for the beginner. An extensive glossary of the major literary and cinematic terms gives easy and quick access to terminological information and also serves as a means to test one's knowledge when preparing for exams. In order to meet the expectations of contemporary textual studies, major emphasis is placed on the accessibility of literary theory for beginners. All major schools and approaches, including the latest developments, are presented with reference to concrete textual examples. Film is integrated as a fourth genre alongside fiction, poetry and drama to highlight the interdependence of literature and film in both artistic production and scholarly inquiry. The chapters on basic research and composition techniques explain today's standard computational facilities such as the online use of the MLA International Bibliography as well as the most important rules of the MLA Style Sheet and guidelines for research papers. The book owes a great deal to my interaction with students in the Introduction to Literature classes which I taught at the American Studies and Comparative Literature Departments of the University of Innsbruck. I also owe thanks for suggestions and critical comments to friends and colleagues, including

Woman and Arcadia: The Impact of Ancient Utopian Thought on the Early Image of America

Journal of American Studies, 1993

In particular, Utopian features were projected onto the terra incognita. The equation of the New World with the earthly paradise and the Promised Land placed America in the tradition of ancient and medieval Utopian texts. The early picture of America is an indirect continuation of an ambivalent gendered view of the world predominant in most Utopias and pastorals. On the one hand, America becomes the positive projection of a benevolent female Mother-Earth who provides for all basic human needs; on the other, a number of intimidating gendered topoi are intricately interwoven with these new territories. The “feminine” appears to be a central issue of literary as well as pictorial imagery in the first narratives on America. As early as Columbus and Vespucci, America was stylized or allegorized through female symbols and met...

Frau und Utopie. Zur antiken Tradition moderner Frauenutopien

arcadia - International Journal for Literary Studies, 1991

Elliott 1 , "although the search for Utopia, for the good life, continues, literary Utopia is all but dead". Elliott hat aus der Perspektive dieser Zeit sicher nicht unrecht, besonders wenn man seine Aussage auf die von Männern verfaßten Utopien bezieht. Auch heute noch träfe sie größtenteils zuwürde man die produktivste Linie des Genres Utopie mit Werken wie Monique Wittigs Les Guerilleres (1969), Ursula Le Guins The Dispossessed (1974), Joanna RUSS' The Female Man (1975), Marge Piercys Woman on the Edge of Time (1976), Sally Miller Gearharts The Wanderground (1979) oder Margaret Atwoods The Handmaid's Tale (1985) außer Acht lassen. Die späten sechziger Jahre mit ihren Emanzipations-und Revolutionsbestrebungen bewirkten nämlich eine umfassende Erneuerung utopischer Hoffnung. Gerade die Frauenbewegung hat als zentraler Teil dieser Aufbruchsstimmung einen sehr großen Einfluß auf die literarische Utopie ausgeübt und der totgeglaubten Gattung zu einer Renaissance verholfen. In den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten haben literarische Frauenutopien und feministische Science-Fiction diesem Genre den Zugang zum literarischen Establishment eröffnet. Die literarische Frauenutopie wurzelt in einer langen Tradition von wenig bekannten bzw. von der Literaturgeschichte weitgehend verschwiegenen Werken, die im ausgehenden viktorianischen Zeitalter und am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts eine erste Blüte erfahren haben. Die feministische Literaturwissenschaft hat sich dieses vernachlässigten Genres angenommen und dem ^männlichen* Utopiekanon eine weibliche Utopietradition gegenübergestellt 2. Die vorliegende Untersuchung knüpft an diese
