The dialogues suggest that Percy Shelley was right when he claimed ?We are all Greeks,? and yet what have we learned about the initiatives of culture and literature since our classical predecessors? Begam and Soderholm?s ten dialogues function as a series of dual-meditations that take Plato as an intellectual godfather while presenting a new form of dialogic knowledge based on the friction and frisson of two minds contending, inventing and improvising. The authors discuss not only what is healthy and vigorous about Western culture but also consider where that culture is in retreat, as they seek to understand the legacy of the Enlightenment and its relation to the contemporary moment. Platonic Occasionsis an experiment in criticism that enjoins the reader to imagine what the dialogic imagination can do when inspired by Platonic inquiry, but not bound by a single master and the singular mind. Beyond Socratic maieutics and Cartesian meditation is a form of intellectual interplay where it is impossible not to be of two minds. 410 0$aStockholm English studies ;$v1. 606 $aCriticism (Philosophy) 606 $aArt$xPhilosophy 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPhilosophical literature 606 $aImaginary conversations 606 $aDialogues, English 608 $bElectronic books. 615 0$aCriticism (Philosophy) 615 0$aArt$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPhilosophical literature. 615 0$aImaginary conversations. 615 0$aDialogues, English. 676 $a111.85 676 $a801.95 700 $aBegam$b Richard$f1950-,$0803354 702 $aSoderholm$b James$f1957-, 801 0$bPQKB 912 $a9910131151503321 996 $aPlatonic occasions$91975753 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03168nam 22005895 450 001 9910484397903321 005 20240923201555.0 010 $a9783030041342 010 $a3030041344 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-030-04134-2 035 $a(CKB)4100000007389710 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-030-04134-2 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5629321 035 $a(Perlego)3493740 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007389710 100 $a20190104d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurnn|008mamaa 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aTopographies of Caribbean Writing, Race, and the British Countryside /$fby Joanna Johnson 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Palgrave Macmillan,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (XI, 190 p. 1 illus.) 225 1 $aGeocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies,$x2634-5188 311 08$a9783030041335 311 08$a3030041336 327 $aChapter 1 Introduction: Constructing the Countryside -- Chapter 2 Remembrance Rocks -- Chapter 3 Befitting the Landscape -- Chapter 4 Topography Rules -- Chapter 5 Reframing the Landscape -- Chapter 6.

In Topographies of Caribbean Writing, Race, and the British Countryside, Joanna Johnson shows how writers like Derek Walcott, V.S. Naipaul, Jean Rhys, Grace Nichols, Andrea Levy, and Caryl Phillips have very different and unexpected responses to this rural space. Johnson demonstrates how Caribbean writing shows greater complexity and wider significance than accounts and understandings of the British countryside have traditionally admitted; at the same time, close examination of these works illustrates that complexity and ambiguity remain an essential part of these authors' relationships with the British countrysides of their colonial or postcolonial imaginations. This study examines accepted norms and raises questions about urgent issues of belonging, Britishness, and Commonwealth identity. 410 0$aGeocriticism and Spatial Literary Studies,$x2634-5188 606 $aLatin American literature 606 $aEuropean literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aLatin American/Caribbean Literature 606 $aEuropean Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 615 0$aLatin American literature. 615 0$aEuropean literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 14$aLatin American/Caribbean Literature. 615 24$aEuropean Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 676 $a800.098 676 $a820.99729 700 $aJohnson$b Joanna$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224867 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484397903321 996 $aTopographies of Caribbean Writing, Race, and the British Countryside$92844041 997 $aUNINA
