| alliteration in great expectations: Some Keywords in Dickens Michael Hollington, Francesca Orestano, Nathalie Vanfasse, 2021-08-09 This volume shows how highly conscious Dickens was of words – of their meaning of course, and of the ideas they conjured up, but also of their very substance, texture, plasticity, visuality, and resonance, as well as their interactions with other words, and with their cultural environment. Each keyword is treated not as a semantic unit with a fixed meaning but rather as a flexible linguistic construct. Some keywords are just a word, a characteristic or even idiosyncratic lexical unit; some are treated as a load-bearing conceptual category or theme; some disintegrate into noise, complicating readers' assumptions about what a keyword must be. The focus shifts from word at micro- to macro-levels of signification, at times denoting wider cultural usage. Dynamic relations, oppositions, correlations and overlappings result from these individualized reading journeys, creating unforeseen and rich systems of meaning. |

| alliteration in great expectations: Dostoevsky and Romantic Realism Donald Fanger, 1998 Dostoevsky and Romantic Realism is Donald Fanger's groundbreaking study of the art of Dostoevsky and the literary and historical context in which it was created. Through detailed analyses of the work of Balzac, Dickens, and Gogol, Fanger identifies romantic realism, the transformative fusion of two generic categories, as a powerful imaginary response to the great modern city. This fusion reaches its aesthetic and metaphysical climax in Dostoevsky, whose vision culminating in Crime and Punishment is seen by Fanger as the final synthesis of romantic realism. |

| alliteration in great expectations: Early English Metre Thomas A. Bredehoft, 2005-12-15 Thomas A. Bredehoft's Early English Metre is a reassessment of the metrical rules for English poetry from Beowulf to Layamon. Bredehoft offers a new account of many of the most puzzling features of Old English poetry – anacrusis, alliteration patterns, rhyme, and hypermetric verses – and further offers a clear account of late Old English verse as it descended from the classical verse as observed in Beowulf. He makes the surprising and controversial discovery that Ælfric’s alliterative works are formally indistinguishable from late verse. Discussing the early Middle English verse-forms of Layamon's Brut, Bredehoft not only demonstrates that they can be understood as developing from late Old English, but that Layamon seems to have known, and quoted from, the poems of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Early English Metre presents a new perspective on early English verse and a new perspective on much of early English literary history. It is an essential addition to the literature on Old and Middle English and will be widely discussed amongst scholars in the field. |

| alliteration in great expectations: Gwendolyn Brooks D.H. Melhem, 2014-07-11 Gwendolyn Brooks is one of the major American poets of this century and the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for poetry (1950). Yet far less critical attention has focused on her work than on that of her peers. In this comprehensive biocritical study, Melhem—herself a poet and critic—traces the development of Brooks's poetry over four decades, from such early works as A Street in Bronzeville, Annie Allen, and The Bean Eaters, to the more recent In the Mecca, Riot, and To Disembark. In addition to analyzing the poetic devices used, Melhem examines the biographical, historical, and literary contexts of Brooks's poetry: her upbringing and education, her political involvement in the struggle for civil rights, her efforts on behalf of young black poets, her role as a teacher, and her influence on black letters. Among the many sources examined are such revealing documents as Brooks's correspondence with her editor of twenty years and with other writers and critics. From Melhem's illuminating study emerges a picture of the poet as prophet. Brooks's work, she shows, is consciously charged with the quest for emancipation and leadership, for black unity and pride. At the same time, Brooks is seen as one of the preeminent American poets of this century, influencing both African American letters and American literature generally. This important book is an indispensable guide to the work of a consummate poet. |
| alliteration in great expectations: Mistress Wilding Rafael Sabatini, 2022-09-15 Rafael Sabatini's 'Mistress Wilding' is a captivating tale woven with the intricate threads of romance and historical rebellion. Set against the turbulent backdrop of Monmouth's Rebellion in 1685, Sabatini employs his characteristic eloquence to dive into the treacheries of civil war and the complexities of love and honor. The narrative is steeped in the florid and precise prose that marks Sabatini's work, offering readers more than a mere adventure story; it presents a layered exploration of loyalty and desire within its historical context. Sabatini's skilled storytelling breathes life into the 17th-century England with vivid descriptions and a dynamic plot, making 'Mistress Wilding' a standout work in literary historical fiction. Rafael Sabatini, an Italian-English writer known for his swashbuckling and historical novels, channels his multicultural background and profound command of history into the creation of 'Mistress Wilding'. His typically robust research underscores the novel's authenticity, and one can speculate that his own rich heritage may have influenced his fascination with the complexities of identity and allegiance examined in the book. Sabatini's prolific career as a novelist and his understanding of human character shine through in the crafting of this melodramatic yet introspective work. 'Mistress Wilding' promises to be a delight for readers who appreciate historical novels infused with action, romance, and a deep understanding of human motives. Sabatini's skillful blend of narrative drive and historical detail offers an immersive experience that not only entertains but also enlightens one about a volatile period in English history. This novel is highly recommended for literature enthusiasts who seek to traverse time and emotion through the power of expertly penned prose. DigiCat Publishing's dedication to preserving such timeless works ensures that the legacy of Sabatini's storied career continues to be appreciated by literary connoisseurs and casual readers alike. |
| alliteration in great expectations: Castle on a Hill Rick Fawn, 2024-12-02 This recasting of modern European history offers new insights into the Visegrad Group's significant role in changing political mind-sets and refashioning the continent Rick Fawn has written the first book-length account of the Visegrad Group of states, which consists of the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Poland, and Hungary. Named after Hungary's Visegrád Castle, the group's significance includes changing international perceptions of Central Europe since the fall of communism and securing membership in NATO and the European Community. It plays an ongoing role today in regional solidarity and politics within the European Union and NATO. Castle on a Hill is built on years of uniquely obtained oral and written sources and on the author's sustained engagement in this region. Fawn examines Visegrad's origins and major accomplishments, and what makes it a unique regional organization. In addition to its positive contributions, Fawn identifies Visegrad's weaknesses, oversteps, and missteps, including its controversial propulsion to international fame for successfully derailing the European Union's plans to resettle non-Europeans during the 2015 migrant crisis. This book also offers insights for the wider study of the phenomenon of regionalism in international relations. Castle on a Hill shows how the Visegrad Group has changed Central Europe, largely for the better, and it will appeal to scholars and policymakers interested in international politics, European history, and the study of regions and regionalism in international relations. |
