Wordsworth's Ethics
ISBN: 9781421417028 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why read Wordsworth's poetry--indeed, why read poetry at all?

He responded in rich and varied ways, in verse and in prose, in both well-known and more obscure writings. Wordsworth's Ethics is a comprehensive examination of the Romantic poet's work, delving into his desire to understand the source and scope of our ethical obligations. Adam Potkay finds that Wordsworth consistently rejects the kind of impersonal... Why read Wordsworth's poetry--indeed, why read poetry at all?

Choice"Potkay sees in Hume and in the period, a deep ambivalence toward eloquence. . . .

Potkay's] work is ambitious, capacious, and erudite by any standard; as a first book it is astonishingly so." Studies in English Literature"

Hope: A Literary History
ISBN: 9781316513705 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hope for us has a positive connotation. Yet it was criticized in classical antiquity as a distraction from the present moment, as the occasion for irrational and self-destructive thinking, and as a presumption against the gods. To what extent do arguments against hope today remain useful? If hope sounds to us like a good thing, that reaction stems from a progressive political tradition grounded in the French Revolution, aspects of Romantic literature and the influence of the Abrahamic faiths. Ranging both wide and deep, Adam Potkay examines the cases for and against hope found in literature...
