1 y separately published work icon A. D. Hope Robert Darling , New York (City) : Twayne , 1997 Z342920 1997 single work criticism Arguing that Hope's achievements have been neglected in the United States largely because of the poet's defiance of modernist and post-modernist trends, Darling explores the principal themes in Hope's poetry, noting that many of the issues of concern to today's younger poets - a return to narrative, the discursive mode, and traditional form, for instance - have long been apparent in Hope's poetry and criticism. In an illuminating introduction, Darling provides a biographical sketch of his subject, treating Hope's years at Oxford (where he studied under C. L. Wrenn, J. R. R. Tolkien, and C. S. Lewis), his criticism of the Jindyworobak and pseudo-modernist movements, being mentored by the poet James McAuley (then Hope's student), and his encounters with Australia's harsh antiobscenity laws.
1 y separately published work icon Peter Weir : When Cultures Collide Marek Haltof , New York (City) : Twayne , 1996 Z1856945 1996 single work criticism During the course of his twenty-odd-year filmmaking career, Peter Weir has accomplished what so many of his protagonists have failed to do: he has become an accepted, integral part of an unfamiliar culture. At the core of most of his films and at the least peripheral to all of them is the idea of the outsider trying - and ultimately failing - to come to terms with a culture vastly different from his own. Weir, a native of Australia whose name was synonymous with Australian cinema in the 1970s, turned to American filmmaking in the 1980s and never looked back. In Peter Weir: When Cultures Collide, Marek Haltof traces Weir's journey from intensely Australian filmmaker to successful Hollywood director, along the way finding surprisingly consistent evidence of Weir's thematic and visual interests despite dramatic changes in his choices of story and locale.
