The Assimilation Experience of Five American White Ethnic Novelists of the Twentieth Century
Author : Betty Ann Burch
Publisher : Routledge
Page : 253 pages
File Size : 50,18 MB
Release : 2017-10-23
Category : Literary Criticism
ISBN : 1351385283
Book Description
This title, originally published in 1990, is a contribution to the social and literary history of ethnic groups in America. Its sources are the writings – chiefly novels – of five authors of Eastern and Southern European descent, chosen because they depict the acculturation of their people, the meeting of their own ethnic group and American society. From their marginal stance, they expressed in fiction what they had observed and experienced, and they wrote symbolically of their journey to a choice of belonging to one group or the other. This title will be of interest to students of literature, history, and sociology.

Book Description
Virginia Woolf's novels, 'The Waves' and 'To the Lighthouse,' both exemplify her distinctive modernist style and themes of personal introspection. 'The Waves' follows the stream-of-consciousness narratives of six characters, delving into their inner thoughts and emotions as they navigate their lives and relationships. Conversely, 'To the Lighthouse' focuses on the Ramsay family's annual summer trips to the Isle of Skye, exploring themes of time, memory, and the passage of life. Woolf's prose is known for its lyrical beauty and experimental narrative techniques, making both novels captivating reads in the context of early 20th-century literature. Woolf's exploration of complex human experiences and emotions provides a deep and thought-provoking look into the inner workings of the human mind, making her a pivotal figure in the modernist literary movement. I highly recommend 'The Waves' and 'To the Lighthouse' to readers interested in lyrical and introspective storytelling, as well as those looking to delve into the complexities of human consciousness and relationships.
The Waves
Author : Virginia Woolf
Publisher : Oxford University Press, USA

Release : 1998
Category : Friendship
ISBN : 9780192838124
Book Description
One of Woolf's most experimental novels, The Waves presents six characters in monologue - from morning until night, from childhood into old age - against a background of the sea. The result is a glorious chorus of voices that exists not to remark on the passing of events but to celebrate the connection between its various individual parts.
