![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Chapters reflect on both canonical and lesser-known Brazilian works from a comparatist perspective: from the first novel by an Afro-Brazilian woman, Maria Firmina dos Reis’s Ursula (1859) to Machado de Assis’s Dom Casmurro (1900) and from José de Alencar’s Indianist novel, Iracema (1865), to Júlia Lopes de Almeida’s A Falência (The Bankruptcy, 1901). The European and North American novels cover a wide range of literary traditions and periods, and are in conversation with the different novelistic trends that characterize the rise of the genre in Brazil. The 15 original essays by experienced and early career scholars explore the links between themes, narrative paradigms, and techniques of Brazilian, European and North American novels and the development of the Brazilian novel. Tomasi di Lampedusas posthumous novel Criticism of a more recent vintage and a less II Gattopardo (The Leopard) with immediate journalistic imprint has met the earlier objec- and clamorous enthusiasm, the book fell short tions convincingly. The works under examination were published during the period in which the forms and procedures of the novel were acclimatized as the genre established and consolidated itself in Brazil. Comparative Perspectives on the Rise of the Brazilian Novel presents a framework of comparative literature based on a systemic and empirical approach to the study of the novel and applies that framework to the analysis of key nineteenth-century Brazilian novels. ![]()

![]() She's played by Elsa Lanchester, who reappears in the climactic scene as the man-made bride of the monster. (The episode was later spoofed in Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein.) A prologue depicts the author of Frankenstein, Mary Shelley, being urged to produce a sequel by her husband Percy and Lord Byron. The monster, on the loose in the European countryside, learns to talk, and his encounter with a blind hermit is both comic and touching. ![]() ![]() Whale brought campy humor to the project, yet Bride is also somehow haunting, due in part to Karloff's nuanced performance. This remarkable sequel, universally considered superior to the original, reunites other key players from the first film: director James Whale (whose life would later be chronicled in Gods and Monsters) and, of course, the inimitable Dwight Frye, as Frankenstein's bent-over assistant. In Bride of Frankenstein, we see that the monster (once again played by Boris Karloff) survived the conflagration, as did his half-mad creator (Colin Clive). But that was before the runaway success of the movie dictated a sequel. It appeared, at the end of the epochal 1931 horror movie Frankenstein, that the monster had perished in a burning windmill. ![]() ![]() First Printing indicated by a complete numerical sequence.

Twenty years in the making, Alison Croggon’s inspired new translation captures the energies of Rilke’s poems with an urgent, acute clarity. He considered the Duino Elegies - a cycle of ten poems written in inspirational bursts between 19 - to be his major achievement. Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the major modernist poets in the German language, notable for the lyric intensity of his work. ![]() ![]() ![]() No man was off limits as the fun-loving bombshell spiraled into excess, anger, and addiction.īobbie survived the party-barely-and her riveting, cautionary comeback tale is filled with the wildest stories of sex, drugs, and rock and roll ever told.

Issued as a book in the US on 8 September 1894, it sold 100,000 copies in a month within five months, 200,000. First serialised in Harper’s Magazine beginning in January 1894, it added 100,000 to the magazine’s circulation before its second instalment. Svengali is one of those rare literary creations that becomes shorthand for a kind of behaviour: in this case, mesmeric control over another.He originated in George du Maurier’s novel Trilby.
