New York: The Free Press, 1977. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. First edition. No jacket. A very nice copy. 1977 Hard Cover. x, 420 pp. "In sociology, action theory is the theory of social action presented by the American theorist Talcott Parsons. Parsons established action theory to integrate the study of social order with the structural and voluntaristic aspects of macro and micro factors. In other words, he was trying to maintain the scientific rigour of positivism, while acknowledging the necessity of the "subjective dimension" of human action incorporated in hermeneutic types of sociological theorizing. Parsons sees motives as part of our actions. Therefore, he thought that social science must consider ends, purposes and ideals when looking at actions. Parsons placed his discussion within a higher epistemological and explanatory context of systems theory and cybernetics."--Wikipedia, The Free Press, 1977, Atlantic Publishers & Distributors (P) Ltd, 2000. Hardcover. New. This book is a pioneer study in objective criticism of the novels of Anita Desai. An electro-cardiogram records the vibrations of the heart, stylistics does the same for literary texts. Words are the symbols of the vibrations of a writer’s thought. Modern criticism acknowledges that form and idea in any literary text are inseparable. This study successfully proves that the objective and the subjective merge into one another to make a complete whole. The detailed textual analysis of the beginnings of the eight novels of Anita Desai is both revealing and enjoyable because the findings are objectively based and are in concord with the opinion of other critics on the subject. The chapters on Form and Structure and the Rhetoric of the novels including Fictional Sequencing, Discourse and Discourse Situation, Types of Narration, The Narrative Voice, Tone, Speech and Thought Presentation, and Point of View, are equally penetrating and illuminating. The book has much to offer to professionals and non-professionals alike as it combines sound scientific approach with keen critical and aesthetic judgement in literary art.
