Creation, Sin and Reconciliation: Reading Primordial and Patriarchal Narrative in the Book of Genesis
ISBN: 9781443880565 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

The English Novel, 1660-1700: An Annotated Bibliography
ISBN: 9780313303685 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Restoration was a period surprisingly rich in fiction, and the period between 1660 and 1700 witnessed the decline of the epic and the birth of the English novel. Literature of the period became increasingly secular in response to advancements in science, philosophy, and exploration. With growing recognition of the power of print, literary works became increasingly targeted to the masses, rather than just to the educated members of the upper class. John Bunyan's classic tale of salvation, DEGREESIThe Pilgrim's Progress DEGREESR, became one of the most widely read works of the last few...

The English Novel, 1700-1740: An Annotated Bibliography
ISBN: 9780313317460 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 659 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The English novel written between 1700 and 1740 remains a comparatively neglected area. In addition to Daniel Defoe, whose "Robinson Crusoe" and "Moll Flanders" are landmarks in the history of English fiction, many other authors were at work. These included such women as Penelope Aubin, Jane Barker, Mary Davys, and Eliza Haywood, who made a considerable contribution to widening the range of emotional responses in fiction. These authors, and many others, continued writing in the genres inherited from the previous century, such as criminal biographies, the Utopian novel, the science...
