Sweatsuits and the apocalypse, the demands of a sofa, a life recalled through window frames, whale watching through cancer, the serendipity of geographical names ... in Feelings of Structure, these are just some of the spaces and places, memories, and experiences addressed by the authors in writings that are multilevel explorations of the tangled-up nature of feeling and structure. Inspired by Raymond Williams's classic essay "Structures of Feeling" and influenced by the current discussion of affect studies, this collection inverts Williams's influential concept to explore the ephemerality of feeling as working in concert with the grounding forces of materiality and history. Feelings of Structure is a collection of twelve original texts that explores the weight of diverse encounters with a variety of configurations, be they institutional, spatial, historical, or fantastical. Featuring writers from a range of disciplines, this book aims for textual evocation in subject matter and approach, with essays that encompass multiple methodologies, writing styles, and tones. Experimental in nature, Feelings of Structure balances the need for concrete and specific observation with the ephemerality of experience.
Having been by turns a milliner's apprentice, assistant in a beauty parlor, and cashier in a business men's restaurant, Truletta Burrows had acquired a certain chicness enabling her to twist a remnant of chiffon or straw into a creation and wear it in impressive contrast with her baby-blue eyes and Titian-red hair. In the majority of cases where a girl has neither family nor finances she must seek a business situation in order to win a husband. Trudy went after her game in no hesitating manner. And now she admires the businessman Steve O'Valley even though he is engaged to "the gorgeous girl" Beatrice Constantine...
In 'The Red Badge of Courage & Other Tales from the Civil War' by Stephen Crane, readers are immersed in the rawness and intensity of the American Civil War through a collection of short stories. Crane's realistic and gritty depiction of war conveys the harsh realities faced by soldiers on the battlefield, showcasing the psychological effects of violence and fear. The author's use of vivid imagery and stream-of-consciousness narrative style adds depth to the characters and the overall atmosphere of the tales, making them both engaging and thought-provoking. Set within the literary context of American Realism, Crane's work explores themes of courage, masculinity, and the brutal nature of conflict. His stories provide a powerful insight into the human experience during a turbulent period in American history. Stephen Crane's firsthand experience as a war correspondent during the Spanish-American War gave him a unique perspective on the horrors of battle, which he draws upon in this collection. His personal encounters with soldiers and their stories influenced the authentic portrayal of war in 'The Red Badge of Courage & Other Tales from the Civil War'. I highly recommend this book to readers who are interested in exploring the complexities of war and its impact on individuals, as well as those who appreciate realistic storytelling and historical fiction.
