"As Laura Ingalls Wilder anticipated, her widely loved stories of her prairie childhood have become much more than a nostalgic blend of myth, memories, and autobiography. As John Miller reveals, they have much to tell us about the historical realities of day-to-day living and attitudes in the nineteenth century." "History and literature are closely intertwined, Miller contends. Here he illustrates how Wilder''s novels enhance our understanding of history and how, simultaneously, a historical perspective framed Wilder''s fiction. He shows how Wilder interwove content and form to produce a sentimental and compelling yet nuanced and believable picture of family life on the agricultural frontier."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Fundado en una amplísima investigación y en una audaz reinterpretación del hombre y sus textos, el libro constituye una sorprendente mirada a uno de los más influyentes filósofos del siglo XX. Describe cada fase de la travesía individual e intelectual de Foucault, desde su inicial interés en los sueños hasta su preocupación final por la sexualidad y la naturaleza de la identidad personal. Nos sitúa en los días culminantes del estructuralismo en París y en el caos de la rebelión de mayo de 1968; relata, entre otros, los debates de Foucault con Sartre y Derrida y sus encuentros con Chomsky y Habermas. Y, con revelaciones que han conmovido a los lectores de todo el mundo, propone el primer relato de las obsesiones de Foucault con la muerte, el suicidio, las drogas y el erotismo sadomasoquista incluso ante la amenaza del Sida en los años ochenta. "James Miller puede perturbar a algunos lectores por la manera en que habla de sexos y filosofía, Nietzsche y Sida, teorías del conocimiento y sadomasoquismo, pero al margen de estos contrastes, reconstruye una vida heroica, una vida que ilustra la noción desarrollada por Foucault de que la vida de un filósofo debe ser ejemplar y de que él mismo debe ser un amante de la sabiduría y un infatigable buscador de la verdad."

Working on the assumptions that literature should be presented to students in ways that will help them to experience the literary work rather than merely to think about it and that the teaching of literature ought to grow out of the teacher''s and student''s reading of it, this book is divided into two sections. The first section describes the nature of literary experience and the kinds of approaches that different readers take to literature in order to attain that experience; and the second section applies this background to the teaching of specific works. Chapters in the first section examine literature as an event, an object, and a message; what constitutes good reading; and teaching methods that should be used to present literature aesthetically. Specific works discussed in the second section include Keats''s "To Autumn," Cather''s "Paul''s Case," Twain''s "Huckleberry Finn," and Shakespeare''s "Othello." (HOD)
