Zusammenfassung: | Traces an entire history of pity, as an emotion and as an element in the artsGBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup(['ISBN:9780748639496','ISBN:9780748691975']);Pity represents a combination of fear, helplessness and overwhelming agitation. It is a term which suffuses our everyday lives; it is also a dangerous term hovering between approval of sympathy and disapproval of emotional wallowing (as in 'self-pity'). This book traces an entire history of pity, as an emotion and as an element in the arts, engaging as it does so with a wealth of theoretical ideas including Freud, Derrida, Levinas and others. It begins with an 'Introduction: Distinguishing Pity', followed by chapters on the Aristotelian framework; Buddhism and pity; the pieta in the Middle Ages and Renaissance; Shakespeare on pity; Milton's pitiless Christianity; pity and charity in the early novel; Blake's views on pity; the Victorian debate, from Austen to Dickens and George Eliot; Brecht and Chekhov on pity and self-pity; 'war, and the pity of war'; Jean Rhys and Stevie Smith; pity, immigration and the colony; and finally three contemporary texts by Michel Faber, Kazuo Ishiguro and Cormac McCarthy. FeaturesOriginal treatment of the concept of pity providing detailed textual criticism and speculative argumentWide-ranging: running from ancient Greek theory to the present dayCovers a wide variety of texts, including fiction, poetry and dramaEngages with the most recent theoretical debates about literature and the emotions |
