Reviews
'Robert Phiddian's ferociously intelligent book … is based on a strenuous, witty, and good-tempered engagement with a very wide range not only of primary but also of secondary writings.' The Review of English Studies, 'Robert Phiddian¿s ferociously intelligent book ¿ is based on a strenuous, witty, and good-tempered engagement with a very wide range not only of primary but also of secondary writings.¿ The Review of English Studies, "The historical and literary contexts of Swift's early writing are freshly and expertly delineated, and Phiddian has a shrewd eye for illuminating parallel passages in parodic or quasi-parodic relationship." Norman Vance, Times Literary Supplement, ‘Robert Phiddian’s ferociously intelligent book … is based on a strenuous, witty, and good-tempered engagement with a very wide range not only of primary but also of secondary writings.’The Review of English Studies, "We agree that there is something determinate about the textual conditions of Swift's early prose works that demands analysis....[Phiddian's] attempt to do so is elegant, inventive, and well informed."

Synopsis
Jonathan Swift's prose has been discussed extensively as satire, but its major structural element, parody, has not received the attention it deserves. Focusing mainly on works before 1714, and especially on A Tale of a Tub, this study explores Swift's writing primarily as parody. Robert Phiddian follows the constructions and deconstructions of textual authority through the texts on cultural-historical, biographical, and literary-theoretical levels. The historical interest lies in the occasions of the parodies: in their relations with the texts and discourses which they quote and distort, and in the way this process reflects on the generation of cultural authority in late Stuart England. The biographical interest lies in a new way of viewing Swift's early career as a potentially Whiggish intellectual. The theoretical and interpretative interest lies in tracing the play of language and irony through parody., Parody has not received the attention it deserves as the major structural element of Jonathan Swift's prose. Robert Phiddian explores the parody in Swift's early texts, especially A Tale of a Tub, and throws new light both on the theory of parody and on developments in British culture in the eighteenth century.

- e***_ (17)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
