Zusammenfassung: | Montparnasse and its cafe life, the shabby working-class area of the place de la Contrescarpe and the Pantheon, the small restaurants and cafes along the Seine, and the Right Bank world of the well-to-do...for American writers self-exiled to Paris during the 1920s and 1930s, the French capital represented what their homeland could not a milieu that through the freedom of thought and action it permitted and the richness of life it offered, nurtured the full expression of the creative imagination. How these expatriates interpreted and gave modernist shape to the myth of "the Paris moment" in their writing is the altogether fresh focus of Donald Pizer's study of seven of their major works Through careful readings of the texts, Pizer identifies both the common threads in the expatriates' response to the Paris moment and the distinctive expression each work gives to their shared experience. Most important, he addresses the neglected question of how the portrayal of the Paris scene helps shape a specific work's themes and form. He traces such experimental devices as fragmented or cubistic narrative forms, the dramatic representation of consciousness, and sexual explicitness, and explores the powerful and evocative tropes of mobility and feeding As Pizer demonstrates, Paris between the two world wars was for the American expatriates more than a geographical entity. It was a state of mind, an experience that engendered the formal expression of a personal aesthetic. The engaging and significant interplay between artist, place and innovative self-reflexive forms composes, Pizer maintains the most distinctive contribution of expatriate writing to the literary movement called high modernism |

Press 1996 XV, 149 S. Ill. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Modernist studies Montparnasse and its cafe life, the shabby working-class area of the place de la Contrescarpe and the Pantheon, the small restaurants and cafes along the Seine, and the Right Bank world of the well-to-do...for American writers self-exiled to Paris during the 1920s and 1930s, the French capital represented what their homeland could not a milieu that through the freedom of thought and action it permitted and the richness of life it offered, nurtured the full expression of the creative imagination. How these expatriates interpreted and gave modernist shape to the myth of "the Paris moment" in their writing is the altogether fresh focus of Donald Pizer's study of seven of their major works Through careful readings of the texts, Pizer identifies both the common threads in the expatriates' response to the Paris moment and the distinctive expression each work gives to their shared experience. Most important, he addresses the neglected question of how the portrayal of the Paris scene helps shape a specific work's themes and form. He traces such experimental devices as fragmented or cubistic narrative forms, the dramatic representation of consciousness, and sexual explicitness, and explores the powerful and evocative tropes of mobility and feeding As Pizer demonstrates, Paris between the two world wars was for the American expatriates more than a geographical entity. It was a state of mind, an experience that engendered the formal expression of a personal aesthetic. The engaging and significant interplay between artist, place and innovative self-reflexive forms composes, Pizer maintains the most distinctive contribution of expatriate writing to the literary movement called high modernism Geschichte 1900-2000 Geschichte 1920-1939 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1920-1949 gnd rswk-swf Amerikaans gtt Schrijvers gtt Geschichte Schriftsteller American literature French influences American literature 20th century History and criticism American literature France Paris History and criticism Americans France Paris History 20th century Modernism (Literature) France Paris Modernism (Literature) United States Place (Philosophy) in literature Amerikaner (DE-588)4212950-3 gnd rswk-swf Literarisches Leben (DE-588)4074272-6 gnd rswk-swf Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 gnd rswk-swf Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich USA Paris (France) In literature Paris (France) Intellectual life 20th century Paris (DE-588)4044660-8 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Paris (DE-588)4044660-8 g Schriftsteller (DE-588)4053309-8 s Amerikaner (DE-588)4212950-3 s Geschichte 1920-1939 z DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Literatur (DE-588)4035964-5 s Literarisches Leben (DE-588)4074272-6 s Geschichte 1920-1949 z HBZ Datenaustausch application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=007311004&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
