Auden, and James Joyce to Bertolt Brecht, Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green, and Irène Némirovsky. Taking its cue from Percy Shelley’s dictum that great writers are to some extent created by the age in which they live, this boo…

  • Hospitality and Treachery in Western Literature

    James A W HeffernanBOOKHospitality and Treachery in…2014

    In works of Western literature ranging from Homer's Odyssey to Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, the giving and taking of hospitality is sometimes pleasurable, but more often perilous.

  • Self-Representation in Byron and Turner

    James A W HeffernanARTICLEPoetics Today1989

    In his widely noted Structuralist Poetics, which first appeared fourteen years ago, Jonathan Culler (1975) reaffirmed a traditional assumption about the difference between pictures and texts by firmly placing icons outside the domain of semiotics.
