Description: Reflections On Exile by Edward W. Said Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description A compilation of 35 years worth of critical essays from one of the boldest and most articulate cultural theorists of our time. Publisher Description With their powerful blend of political and aesthetic concerns, Edward W. Saids writings have transformed the field of literary studies. As in the title essay, the widely admired Reflections on Exile, the fact of his own exile and the fate of the Palestinians have given both form and the force of intimacy to the questions Said has pursued. Taken together, these essays--from the famous to those that will surprise even Saids most assiduous followers - afford rare insight into the formation of a critic and the development of an intellectual vocation. Saids topics are many and diverse, from the movie heroics of Tarzan to the machismo of Ernest Hemingway to the shades of difference that divide Alexandria and Cairo. He offers major reconsiderations of writers and artists such as George Orwell, Giambattista Vico, Georg Lukacs, R. P. Blackmur, E. M. Cioran, Naguib Mahfouz, Herman Melville, Joseph Conrad, Walter Lippman, Samuel Huntington, Antonio Gramsci, and Raymond Williams. Invigorating, edifying, acutely attentive to the vying pressures of personal and historical experience, his book is a source of immeasurable intellectual delight. Author Biography Edward Said (1935-2003) was one of the worlds most influential literary and cultural critics. Professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, he was the author of twenty-two books, including Orientalism, Culture and Imperialism and Beginnings. He was also a music critic, opera scholar, pianist and the most eloquent spokesman for the Palestinian cause in the West.
