I learned that the diary was not as clear-cut as I thought. Her father edited it and part was from another account she wrote. It's still a powerful witness of the Holocaust. ( ) The first section of this book looks at the life of Anne Frank. In part two, Prose takes a critical look at Frank as a writer and addresses the reception history of Frank’s diary. In part three, Prose examines the way that the diary has been taught at levels from elementary school through university. Prose concludes with her own experience teaching a seminar on Anne Frank at Bard College. The controversy over the play and film versions of the diary was new to me. Prose does a thorough job of analyzing the controversy and the personalities involved. This book belongs in all libraries that own a copy of Anne Frank’s diary. It should be background reading for instructors preparing to teach students of any level about Anne Frank and her diary. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2421391.html Has a lot of useful detail on how the Diary came to be written and published, and also some unedifying details about the creation of the Broadway play, the movie, and its use by revisionists, but I recommend it as a book anyway.
Prose’s summaries and explanations of dialogue and plot can, inevitably, sometimes read like CliffsNotes, but she makes a persuasive argument for Anne Frank’s literary genius. This is a Grade A example of what a smart, precise and impassioned teacher can do. In the absence of new material, those who write about her must either endlessly rehearse what's already known, reconstitute her for a modern audience or analyse those "new" Anne Franks. Francine Prose tries to do all three and fails much of the time. For, if Anne Frank has in some sense become a sign, then the task of analysing her book's afterlife requires the skills of a semiotician rather than a novelist.
Francine Prose argues that the diary of Anne Frank is as much a deliberate work of art as it is an historical record, noting its literary merits and thoroughly investigating the diary's unique afterlife as one of the world's most read, and banned, books. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
