John C. Murray

4.9/5 (32458 ratings)

Description:Arguing on many levels, John Condon Murray's concise and engaging book is philosphical and historical, critical and pedagogic. Murray's essays examine the conflict of self' in society as a leitmotif in Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Poe's The Fall of the House of Usher, Pinter's The Dwarfs, The Lover, The Caretaker, and The Homecoming, and Joyce's Ulysses. In his analysis, Murray discusses the ideas of behavioral and ideological conformity in Swift's work. He examines Poe's use of the grotesque to suggest correlations between the moral, physical, and spiritual degeneration of the characters, and the natural decay of their environment. Murray analyzes passages of dialogue from Pinter's dramas and discusses how the characters within the plays use language to create spatial boundaries to secure their identities by making themselves impervious to the language of their social others.' In his final essay, Murray concentrates on the use of role-playing and misidentification in Joyce's novel.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
