Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Mary Shelleys third published novel, The Last Man, is a disillusioned vision of the end of civilization, set in the twenty-first century. The book offers a sweeping account of war, plague, love, and desolation. It is the sort of apocalyptic vision that was widespread at the time, though Shelleys treatment of the theme goes beyond the conventional; it is extraordinarily interesting and deeply moving.If The Last Man is in some sense a conventional text of the period, it is also intensely personal in its origin; Shelley refers in her journal to the last man as her alter ego, the last relic of a beloved race, my companions extinct before me. The novel thus develops out of and contributes to a network of story and idea in which fantasy, allusion, convention, and autobiography are densely interwoven.This new version of the first edition (1826) sets out to provide not only a thoroughly annotated text, but also contextual materials to help the reader acquire knowledge of the intellectual and literary milieu out of which the novel emerged. Appendices include material on the last man as early nineteenth-century hero, texts from the debate initiated by Malthus in 1798 about the adequacy of food supply to sustain human population, various accounts of outbreaks of plague, and Shelleys poems representing her feelings after the death of her husband. Anne McWhirs edition of The Last Man is first rate! Charles E. Robinson, University of Delaware Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
