Sommario/riassunto |
|
Robin Davies here demonstrates that Nabokov's Pale Fire has a classical unity and represents a direct attack on T.S. Eliot's philosophical position, particularly as given in The Waste Land and as represented by Eliot's later tendency for conservatism in literature, politics, and religion. After Nabokov was forced into exile from Germany and then France in the 1930's with his young son and Jewish wife, Eliot's passivism must have seemed to him the very antithesis of survival. The enigmatic Pale Fire and its surface triviality suggested that there could |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
be self-consistent logic within the obvious commentary of Charles Kinbote and John Shade's poem. Davies places this work in its vast European context, forming a bridge between Russian and European literature which will be appreciated by scholars of both. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
How have the school effectiveness and school improvement movements arrived where they are today? Over the past three decades there has |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
been a great deal of development, from the 1960's when debates arose regarding equality of opportunity, to the 1980's when market concepts came into play. This book contrasts current thinking on educational standards with prevailing thought from prior decades, and tackles difficult questions of quality and educational outcomes. Anyone wishing to improve their understanding of school effectiveness will find this book interesting and highly informative. |
