Quem tem medo de Hilda Hilst? O dado de provocação dessa pergunta ainda se faz presente, passados mais de dez anos de sua morte, em 2004. A escritora, poeta e teatróloga, nascida em Jaú, em 1930, ganha nestes últimos tempos uma nova leitura e um interesse crescente por sua obra. Em torno de Hilda Hilst é um livro que se situa no panorama da leitura atenta, sensível e curiosa da obra da autora, reunindo pesquisadores do Brasil e do exterior, amantes dessa chama inquieta que é o texto literário que a escritora paulista tão bem soube manter quente e acesa ao longo dos 47 anos de trabalho exclusivo com a literatura. Os leitores que enfrentam o jogo fornecido pela escritora não saem ilesos do ousado universo literário que ela tão bem explorou e que vai do sacro ao metafísico, passando pelo erótico e pelo campo do amoroso e sublime desejo da morte, sem deixar de se lançar ao combativo discurso político e social.

Metaphysics is usually associated with that part of the philosophical tradition which asks about 'last things', questions such as: How many substances are there in the world? Which is more fundamental, quantity or quality? Are events prior to things, or do they happen to those things? While he wasn't a philosopher, Shakespeare was obviously interested in 'ultimates' of this sort. Instead of probing these issues with argument, however, he did so with plays. Shakespearean Metaphysics argues for Shakespeare's inclusion within a metaphysical tradition that opposes empiricism and Cartesian dualism.

This study of the fictional themes and techniques of Michel Tournier reveals his profound radicalism as a social critic and novelist despite the seeming conventionality of his works. Guided by Tournier's essays and interviews, Petit examines his fiction in light of plot sources, philosophical and anthropological training, and his belief that fiction should change the world. Close study of Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, Le Roi des aulnes, Les Météores, Gaspard, Melchior et Balthazar, and La Goutte d'or, as well as the short fiction in Le Coq de bruyère and Le Médianoche amoureux, shows To

In this book, Professor Johnson demonstrates how Wordsworth employed geometrical patterns in the metrical construction of his verse and how the character of those patterns can be related to the poet's major philosophical values.

This book establishes the genealogy of a subgenre of crime fiction that Antoine Dechêne calls the metacognitive mystery tale. It delineates a corpus of texts presenting 'unreadable' mysteries which, under the deceptively monolithic appearance of subverting traditional detective story conventions, offer a multiplicity of motifs – the overwhelming presence of chance, the unfulfilled quest for knowledge, the urban stroller lost in a labyrinthine text – that generate a vast array of epistemological and ontological uncertainties. Analysing the works of a wide variety of authors, including Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, and Henry James, this book is vital reading for scholars of detective fiction. .
