Absence In The Sound And Fury By Faulkner
1,467 words
Absence in The Sound and Fury by Faulkner The
Sound and the Fury is considered to be Faulkner's
greatest work, although its controversial nature
resulted in many critics disclaiming Faulkner's
novel, as too modernist. It is not a secret that
Faulkner was a proponent of this literature style,
which used to be fashionable, at the beginning of
twentieth century. It could not escape people's
attention that the fundamental lack of
completeness characterizes The Sound and the Fury,
as whole. The reade...

20 Th Century Thomas Pynchon
1,322 words
Pynchon and Ginsberg (1) The American literature
is known to have been affected by the stylistic
experimentation, since the last half of 19 th
century. There are many socio-political and purely
artistic reasons that explain it. The most
important of them, in my opinion, is the fact that
Marxist theory used to be very popular among
left-wing intellectuals, prior to the outbreak of
Second World War. After being ideologically
suppressed during fifties, Marxism was able to
reemerge at the beginning ...

our life without modern conveniences and new
technological invention. They do not surprise us;

20 Th Century George Willard

George Willard It is not by sheer accident that
Sherwood Anderson referred to his critically
acclaimed novel Winesburg, Ohio as the book of
grotesque. The stories of Winesburg's residents
cannot be described as having anything in common,
except for the fact that they are being related to
Winesburg Eagle reporter George Willard. By
adopting a very loose approach to connecting the
chapters of his book, Anderson wanted to emphasize
the absurdist nature of living in American small
towns, at the begi...

MATERIALISM AND IDEALISM IN THE GREAT GATSBY (1)
The history shows that the only the reason, which

cultural prominence, was the fact that the
nation's founders were being driven by the
idealism alone. This rule applies to the ancient
Greece and Rome, to the Western civilization,
which sprung out of the spirit of antiquity and
also to the United States, which became a magnet

The Crucifixion By Cranach Elder

The Crucifixion by Cranach, the Elder The
Crucifixion by Cranach the Elder is a fine example
of symbolical painting, where even seemingly
irrelevant details represent a certain semantic
meaning. It is being criticized for failing to
include the spirit of Renaissance, like the
paintings of Cranach's Italian contemporaries, who
were promoting the ideas of intellect and physical
beauty, while exploiting Christian fable. But,
although the artistic value of Cranach's work
falls short behind the Renai...

World War One 20 Th Century

The U. S. rise to power from 1904 to 1919 is truly
remarkable. Within comparatively short historical
time, America was able to significantly increase
its political and economical influence on world's
affairs. But the foundation, upon which American
geopolitical success in the first part of
twentieth century is based, has clearly a
speculative nature. Let us explain this thesis at

The extremes of cultural revolution put an end to

its restoration. Today Buddhism in China is a
historical object of the past, an ancient
tombstone that has been ravaged and vandalized by
the clash of classes and ideological ideas. It is
really uneasy to say how long it would take for
the cycle of Dhamma to get back its supremacy and
whether it would ever occur at all. (Trevor, 94)
