Produktinformationen zu „The Philistines (ePub)“
Arlo Bates's 'The Philistines' emerges as a compelling examination of the social mores and intricacies of the late 19th-century America. Through Bates's nuanced prose and adept characterizations, the novel delves into the lives of its protagonists amid the ever-evolving landscape of societal expectations and personal desires. Combining realism with a discerning critique of contemporary life, Bates situates the narrative within the literary context of works that challenge and reflect upon the status quo, thus immortalizing the subtleties of human interactions and the often unseen forces that govern them in his literary style. This republished edition by DigiCat Publishing allows modern readers to experience Bates's insightful narrative with the reverence it commands as an integral component of world literature. Arlo Bates, a literary figure of the late 19th century, crafted his works with the intent of dissecting the societal norms of his time. His own experiences and observations of the world around him no doubt influenced 'The Philistines.' The title itself-an allusion to individuals lacking in culture or refinement-hints at Bates's inclination to both explore and satirize the conventional attitudes of the emerging middle class and their interactions. Providing a mirror to his environment, Bates unravels the complexities of human behavior and societal pressure with a quietly resonant voice. Scholars and admirers of Bates's work, as well as new readers discovering DigiCat's faithfully reproduced edition, will find in 'The Philistines' a treasure trove of societal critique couched within a tale that still resonates today. It is a recommended read for those who relish in the study of human nature, the subtleties of social dynamics, and the unique perspectives of an era that set the groundwork for contemporary life. This novel promises not only a journey through the corridors of the past but also a reflection on themes that are timeless in their relevance.
Autoren-Porträt von Arlo Bates
Arlo Bates (1850-1918) was an American author, educator, and literary critic, whose body of work encapsulates the transitionary period of American literature from the genteel 19th century to the more realist early 20th century. Born in East Machias, Maine, Bates attended Bowdoin College where he cultivated his literary talent and subsequently embarked on his writing career. His novel 'The Philistines' (1888) illustrates his insightful exploration into social norms and personal struggle, characteristic of his keen interest in human sociology, a prevalent theme in his literary endeavors. Bates' writing is marked by its astute attention to character development and social dynamics, aligning him with the school of psychological realism, prominent in late 19th-century fiction. In addition to 'The Philistines', he authored several other novels, including 'The Pagans' (1884), 'The Puritans' (1899), and 'The Diary of a Saint' (1902), all contributing to his reputation as a significant, though not foremost, figure in American letters. Beyond fiction, Bates served as a professor of English at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his academic influence is discernible in his literary criticism, emphasizing the importance of style and precision in writing. Arlo Bates's contribution as a multifaceted figure in the literary landscape extends a legacy of blending narrative artistry with intellectual rigor.
