Romance is a novel co-authored by Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford. It was the second of their three collaborations. Romance was eventually published by George Bell and Sons in London and by McClure, Phillips in New York, in March 1904. According to Max Saunders, Conrad, in his quest to obtain a literary collaborator had been recommended several literary figures to be a possible co-worker. W. E. Henley pointed to Ford as a suitable choice for Conrad. Literary collaboration was not particularly uncommon when Conrad proposed it to Ford, but neither was it considered the proper way for serious novelists, as Ford was aware: "The critics of our favoured land do not believe in collaboration.".
Defining Literary Criticism: Scholarship, Authority and the Possession of Literary Knowledge, 1880-2002
Outlining the controversies that have surrounded the academic discipline of English Literature since its institutionalization in the late nineteenth century, this important book draws on a range of archival sources.
Acts of Literature, compiled in close association with Jacques Derrida, brings together for the first time a number of Derrida's writings on literary texts. The essays discuss literary figures such as Rousseau, Mallarmé, Joyce, Shakespeare, and Kafka, and comprise pieces spanning Derrida's career.
This collection of essays provides students of literary critical theory with an introduction to Freudian methods of interpretation, and shows how those methods have been transformed by recent developments in French psychoanalysis, particularly by the influence of Jacques Lacan.
PITMAN'S Commercial Correspondence and Commercial English
There is gratifying evidence of an awakened feeling that Commercial English has hitherto been on wrong lines, having developed a jargon of its own even worse than journalese and very distressing to every educated person whose misfortune it is to have to read letters expressed in it. The University of London must be given the credit of largely stimulating that feeling when it gave a literary character to its papers set in English for Matriculation. This change which was made some eighteen years ago, has undoubtedly borne good fruit.
