The Intellectuals and the Masses: Pride and Prejudice Among the Literary Intelligensia, 1880-1939
ISBN: 9780897335072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this landmark study, John Carey analyzes the elitest views of some of the most highly respected literary icons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book, as defined in his preface, "is about the response of the English literary intelligentsia to the new phenomenon of mass culture." Readers may be shocked to learn that H.G. Wells liked to think that this newly emerged "mass" would be eliminated by plague and atomic bombs; that Yeats wished them to perish in an apocalyptic war against the educated classes and that D.H. Lawrence visualized a huge lethal chamber in which they could...

What Good Are the Arts?
ISBN: 9780195305548 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hailed as "exhilarating and suggestive" (Spectator), "thought-provoking and entertaining" (David Lodge, Sunday Times), and "incisive and inspirational" (Guardian), What Good are the Arts? offers a delightfully skeptical look at the nature of art. John Carey--one of Britain's most respected literary critics--here cuts through the cant surrounding the fine arts, debunking claims that the arts make us better people or that judgments about art are anything more than personal opinion. But Carey does argue strongly for the value of art as an activity and for the superiority of one art in...

The End and Beyond
ISBN: 9781891271205 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 964 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What awaits us beyond the grave is perhaps the fundamental human mystery. Visionary accounts of the afterlife are attested long before the Common Era, and loomed large in the imaginative universe of early Christianity. The medieval Irish inherited and further transformed this tradition, producing vivid eschatological narratives which had a profound impact throughout Europe as well as being works of remarkable literary and spiritual power in their own right. Under the headings Soul and Body', The Seven Heavens', The Next World', and The Judgement and its Signs', this book presents critical...

ISBN: 9780571310937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. 'Among the wealthy elders, my views gave some offence. Two or three people walked out of my lecture in Hamburg. At a dinner in Oldenburg I was seated next to a senior academic who berated me for my leftist leanings - not what he expected of an Oxford professor...' John Carey, best known for his provocative stance on the arts and the academic establishment, looks back on his journey from an ordinary background to Oxford's oldest literary professorship. Books formed the backbone of his life: from Biggles in his boyhood home to G. K. Chesterton in his West London grammar school to rigorous...
