Shakespeare's Last Plays
ISBN: 9781472510402 / Angielski / Twarda / 85 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's Last Plays was the first of E. M. W. Tilyard's influential works on Shakespeare. In it, Dr Tilyard argues that the last plays - Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest - develop patterns found in the earlier works. He shows how Shakespeare intertwines reconciliation (the final phase of the tragedies) with an awareness of possible worlds (where the 'natural' and supernatural have equal status), and concludes that The Tempest, by subordinating his tragic pattern, is his greatest achievement. Shakespeare's Last Plays was the first of E. M. W. Tilyard's influential works on Shakespeare. In it, Dr Tilyard argues that the last plays - Cymbe... |

The Novels of Thomas Hardy: Illusion and Reality
ISBN: 9781472510761 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What he himself characteristically called 'his idiosyncratic mode of regard' is a factor few readers of Hardy's novels can overlook and one with which all serious students of his fiction must come to terms. The fact that there is nevertheless little final agreement about the nature of his achievement has prompted Miss Vigar to make a fresh study of Hardy's own notes and essays on the art of the novel and to analyse his fictional technique in the light of these unduly neglected observations. Her approach centres on Hardy's pervasive theme of the contrast between appearance and reality and...

The re-emergence into critical esteem of the literature of the English mid-nineteenth century has been one of the post-war excitements for students and general readers. Mid-nineteenth century literature is not simply the best body of literature the English have produced. It happens also to be literature that has a practical interest for ourselves. We live so plainly in its wake. The problems being faced a hundred years ago are the problems still facing ourselves, such as the continued supremacy of science and its methods and the consequently progressive disappearance of what was called the...

Boswell and Johnson: Their Companions and Contemporaries
ISBN: 9781472514509 / Angielski / Twarda / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Boswell and Johnson are two names that may well be placed together: a great artist and his great subject; indeed the name of the one ever recalls that of the other. If Boswell owes all the permanency of his fame to Johnson, Johnson owes not a little of his to Boswell. The finest and the wisest table-talk that English literature possesses has been preserved by the faithfullest and ablest of chroniclers. This volume attempts no new life of either. The author's aim has been to accomplish a pleasant and instructive picture of the great man of the Eighteenth Century - of his mind, his manners,...

Love, Mystery and Misery: Feeling in Gothic Fiction
ISBN: 9781472509666 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The current Gothic revival in literature and film encourages us to look again to the earliest Gothic novels written beween 1790 and 1820, when Gothic was the most popular kind of fiction in England. Dr. Howells proposes a radical reassessment of these novels to emphasize their importance as experiments in imaginative writing. Her object, the study of feeling, is central to Gothic, for its spell consists in the feelings it arouses and exercises. As pseudo-historical fantasy, Gothic fiction embodies contemporary neuroses, especially sexual fears and repressions, which run right through it...

Aesthetic and Critical Theory of John Ruskin
ISBN: 9780691647418 / Angielski / Twarda / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book traces the sources and development of Ruskin's aesthetic and critical theories. In his attempt to skirt the danger of excessive emotion and association in art, Ruskin's struggle with the sublime but not the picturesque, is, along with the pathetic fallacy, examined. These concepts, too, are considered in light of Ruskin's continuing religious and intellectual development. Finally, Ruskin's loss of faith is analyzed in relation to the problem of allegory in art. Ruskin argued for an unchanging standard of beauty, though the psychological nature of the artist is related to his art...

George Orwell Now!: Preface by Richard Blair, Son of George Orwell
ISBN: 9781433129834 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. George Orwell remains an iconic figure today even though he died in 1950.

The word -Orwellian- is constantly in the media used either as a pejorative adjective to evoke totalitarian terror or as a complimentary adjective to mean -displaying outspoken intellectual honesty-. Interest in Orwell s life and writings globally continues...
