Overview
Response to Failure provides a significant contribution to the existing body of literary scholarship on Gerard Manley Hopkins, Francis Thompson, Lionel Johnson, and Dylan Thomas. The author explored the texture of autobiographical experiences of "failure" that inform the poems and the poets' responses within the intellectual, cultural, religions, and political climates of their times. Unique comparative and cross-disciplinary approaches have been employed, including reader-response interpretation of the poems, as well as gender- and culture-centered theories of literary criticism and culture studies.Editorials

A US citizen born in India, Parekh demonstrates how authors traditionally studied as part of the Eurocentric literary canon, and therefore shunned by multiculturalists, can be interpreted from such perspectives as third-world feminism and post-colonial criticism. One of her major interests is developing a methodology that allows exchange and interchange between cultural regions often considered The Center and The Margin. Substantially revised and updated from a doctoral dissertation for Louisiana State University; no date noted. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
