Inspired by the quality and scope of Shields's work, Carol Shields, Narrative Hunger, and the Possibilities of Fiction addresses her creative exploration of postmodernism. As the first thorough examination of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, this collection of essays establishes the groundwork for future studies of her oeuvre.The collection begins with a significant new essay from Shields herself, 'Narrative Hunger and the Overflowing Cupboard,' perhaps her most substantial commentary upon her own aims as a writer. In addition, scholars from Canada, England, the United States, and Australia explore the complexity of Shields's work and her contributions to the genre of the novel. These lively essays reflect Shields's verve and her playful approach to today's sophisticated critical thinking. Among the topics are Shields's use of biography and autobiography, metafiction, popular romance, and symbolism. While the essays foreground the unreliability of language, and hence our inability to know one another or even ourselves, the contributors argue that Shields has taken a step beyond postmodernism by suggesting that we can transcend the limitations of its epistemology.Containing several essays on Swann and The Stone Diaries, Shields's most popular works, and the most extensive annotated bibliography available of works by and about Shields, this collection will appeal widely to scholars, students, and readers of Carol Shields and Canadian fiction. 606 $aWomen and literature$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aFiction$xTechnique 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aNarration (Rhetoric)$xHistory 615 0$aFiction$xTechnique. 676 $a813.54 702 $aEden$b Edward$f1964- 702 $aGoertz$b Dee 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455831703321 996 $aCarol Shields, narrative hunger, and the possibilities of fiction$92447493 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02367nam 2200517 a 450 001 9910139181103321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-74223-210-8 035 $a(CKB)2560000000056292 035 $a(EBL)533800 035 $a(OCoLC)647917245 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000282904 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11207542 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000282904 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10336317 035 $a(PQKB)10064749 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC533800 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL533800 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10381403 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000056292 100 $a20100618h20092007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aPlutonium$b[electronic resource] $ea history of the world's most dangerous element /$fJeremy Bernstein 210 $aSydney, N.S.W. $cNew South$d2009, c2007 215 $a1 online resource (213 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-74223-088-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p. 173-182) and index. 327 $aBlank Page; Blank Page; Contents; Acknowledgments; Prologue; I Preamble; II The History of Uranium; III The Periodic Table; IV Frau Ro?ntgen's Hand; V Close Calls; VI Fissions; VII Transuranics; VIII Plutonium Goes to War; IX Los Alamos; X Electrons; XI Now What?; Notes; Credits; Index 330 $aHistorically fascinating and scientifically rigorous, Plutonium tells the story of a rare and exotic element put to deadly use in atomic bombs, from its discovery to the present day. From the discovery of uranium in 1789 to the Manhattan Project, from Nazi efforts to build a nuclear bomb to the cold war between the USA and USSR, Bernstein tells the important story of one of nature's rarest elements, put to deadly use in nuclear weapons. Along the way, he paints revealing pen portraits of scientists who helped discover the element and produce it in vast quantities during World War II-from Marie 606 $aPlutonium 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPlutonium. 676 $a546.434 22 700 $aBernstein$b Jeremy$f1929-$044845 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910139181103321 996 $aPlutonium$92104471 997 $aUNINA
