Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Jeremy,
thank you so much!
I feel very grateful and slightly guilty to have provoked such a detailed response. I had a look at some of the lists you suggest, and, of course, I have my own favorites (some of which you mention), but I was curious to see what people here in the MLA forum would say…
P.S. Among the books I haven’t read yet,…[Read more]

Jeremy Douglass replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoLiterary scholarship for book-loving non-academics? That is a really interesting (and quite broad) challenge. I like the idea of promoting literary criticism to a broad audience — whether through public reviews or through holiday gift-giving.
It occurs to me that the top social book platforms on the web may already have an approximate answer to…[Read more]

Alexandra Berlina started the topic A fantastic play? in the forum
Science Fiction and Utopian and Fantastic Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear all,
could you perhaps suggest a play that could be seen as fantastic in Todorov’s sense? (Yes, I know he didn’t want to include anyting but prose, but even Hamlet has its moments — the ghost is too clearly present on stage to be truly “fantastic” in the sense of ambiguous, though…)
Thank you!

Sharon Shaloo replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoJames Woods would seem to fill your bill. HOW FICTION WORKS is the more “litcrit,” to invoke your categorization, and THE FUN STUFF has gestures to other arts/performance. Both are wonderfully readable.

Patrick Crapanzano replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Alexandra,
I like the idea of your post. One book that comes to mind is A Brave Vessel, by Hobson Woodward. It doesn’t have the pop-currency potential as Will of the World, but it’s approachable for normal people interested in The Tempest and the Sea Venture’s wreck on Bermuda.

I don’t mean book reviews, but texts like Brodsky’s and Nabokov’s essays, or Greenblatt’sWill in the World. Thank you very much! I hope I’m not the only one interested in showing friends what it is we as a species actually do: perhaps w…[Read more]
