The Lady's Trial: By John Ford
ISBN: 9780719078958 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. John Ford is best known as the author of the controversial 'Tis Pity She's a Whore', but his other plays are also full of interest. The Lady's Trial, his last play, encapsulates the final development of his own unique theatrical aesthetic whilst looking back to the drama of his youth, most notably Othello, whose story is here rewritten.
In Ford's version, the supposedly wronged husband, the victorious general Auria, does not simply take the word of his friend, the well-intentioned but overly suspicious Aurelio, that his wife, Spinella, is unfaithful: instead he does what Othello...

Ocular Proof and the Spectacled Detective in British Crime Fiction
ISBN: 9783031298486 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. From Sherlock Holmes onwards, fictional detectives use lenses:Ocular Proof and the Spectacled Detective in British Crime Fictionargues that these visual aids are metaphors for ways of seeing, and that they help us to understand not only individual detectives’ methods but also the kinds of cultural work detective fiction may do. It is sometimes regarded as a socially conservative form, and certainly the enduring popularity of ‘Golden Age’ writers such as Christie, Sayers, Allingham and Marsh implies a strong element of nostalgia in the appeal of the genre. The emphasis on visual...

The Female Hero in English Renaissance Tragedy
ISBN: 9780333987919 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 229 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book focuses on female tragic heroes in England from c.1610 to c.1645. Their sudden appearance can be linked to changing ideas about the relationships between bodies and souls; men's bodies and women's; marriage and mothering; the law; and religion. Though the vast majority of these characters are closer to villianesses than heroines, these plays, by showing how misogyny affected the lives of their central characters, did not merely reflect their culture, but also changed it.
