AMERICAN WRITERS, Supplement VII
Supplement VII is mostly about contemporary writers, many of whom have received little sustained attention from critics. For example, Julia Alvarez, Tobias Wolff, Sandra Cisneros, Annie Proulx, Jamaica Kincaid, Carol Shields, Richard Bausch, Andre Dubus, and Barbara Kingsolver have been written about in the review pages of newspapers and magazines, and their fiction has acquired a substantial following, but their work has yet to attract significant scholarship.
Featuring 18 exciting projects presented with detailed step-by-step photography, color variations, and practical illustrations, this fresh approach to seed bead jewelry teaches crafters how to combine materials, techniques, colors, inspiration, and design ideas for jewelry with a contemporary edge. Inspired by a wide range of sources—from Indian Punjabi folk costumes to Native American beading—the designs in this inventive resource fuse materials such as silver, copper wire, seed beads, Czech glass, and crystals into these traditional arts in order to achieve a unique outcome.
The Turkish Language Reform: A Catastrophic Success
This is the first account of the transformation of the Turkish language in the years following 1930--probably the most extensive piece of language engineering ever attempted. The book is important both for the study of linguistic change and for the light it throws on twentieth-century Turkish politics and society.
This is a monograph analysing a number of modern British women writers and the way in which the canon of post-war British writing has been formed. With the increasing number of books on contemporary fiction, there is a need for a work that examines whom we value, and why. These questions lie at the heart of this book which, by focusing on four novelists, literary and popular, interrogates the canon over the last fifty years.
