What Was Literary Impressionism?
Author: Michael Fried
Publisher: Harvard University Press
ISBN: 0674984951
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
“My task which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel—it is, before all, to make you see. That—and no more, and it is every-thing.” So wrote Joseph Conrad in the best-known account of literary impressionism, the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century movement featuring narratives that paint pictures in readers’ minds. If literary impressionism is anything, it is the project to turn prose into vision. But vision of what? Michael Fried demonstrates that the impressionists sought to compel readers not only to see what was described and narrated but also to see writing itself. Fried reads Conrad, Stephen Crane, Frank Norris, W. H. Hudson, Ford Madox Ford, H. G. Wells, Jack London, Rudyard Kipling, Erskine Childers, R. B. Cunninghame Graham, and Edgar Rice Burroughs as avatars of the scene of writing. The upward-facing page, pen and ink, the look of written script, and the act of inscription are central to their work. These authors confront us with the sheer materiality of writing, albeit disguised and displaced so as to allow their narratives to proceed to their ostensible ends. What Was Literary Impressionism? radically reframes a large body of important writing. One of the major art historians and art critics of his generation, Fried turns to the novel and produces a rare work of insight and erudition that transforms our understanding of some of the most challenging fiction in the English language.

War is Kind" is a collection of poems written by Stephen Crane, an American poet and novelist. The collection was first published in 1899.

The poem suggests that, despite the tragic and brutal nature of war, people often find ways to romanticize and idealize it. "War is Kind" reflects Crane's anti-romantic and anti-heroic stance on war, challenging prevailing sentiments about the glory of conflict and offering a more somber and critical perspective.
