Literary Names: Personal Names in English Literature
ISBN: 9780199592227 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why do authors use pseudonyms and pen-names, or ingeniously hide names in their work with acrostics and anagrams? How has the range of permissible given names changed and how is this reflected in literature? Why do some characters remain mysteriously nameless? In this rich and learned book, Alastair Fowler explores the use of names in literature of all periods - primarily English but also Latin, Greek, French, and Italian - casting an unusual and rewarding light on the work of literature itself. He traces the history of names through Homer, Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, Thackeray, Dickens,...

Renaissance Realism: Narrative Images in Literature and Art
ISBN: 9780199259588 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Early narratives have tended to be critiqued as novels, an approach that misses their distinctive Renaissance realism. Alastair Fowler surveys picturing and perspective from the fifteenth century to the eighteenth, drawing analogies between literature and visual art. The book is based on the history of the narrative imagination after single-point perspective. The habit of an older, multi-point perspective long continued, accounting for "anachronism," discontinuous realism, "double time-schemes," and depiction of different moments as simultaneous.

Time's Purpled Masquers
ISBN: 9780198183402 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Alastair Fowler's fascinating study explores the extraordinary prominence of astronomical imagery in Renaissance literature. He describes the forgotten Renaissance beliefs about stellification, an afterlife in the stars through metamorphosis into stellar or angelic substance. The new astronomy of Copernicus and Brahe, far from working against religious beliefs, encouraged hopes of access to the uncorrupted spheres. Fowler's many-faceted book scrutinizes these ideas--both sacred and scientific--as they manifested in literature, masques, architecture, and the pursuit of fame.

Triumphal Forms: Structural Patterns in Elizabethan Poetry
ISBN: 9780521128964 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A study of numerology in Elizabethan poetry, with some background studies which base the subject in classical learning, the works of Dante and Petrarch, and the esoteric traditions of the humanists. The central assumption of numerological criticism is that there exist works written in this tradition which show a correspondence between structure and meaning on a numerical plane; that is, one in which the number of the constituent parts (lines, stanzas, sonnets in a sequence) expresses a major aspect of the meaning. For instance parts of the whole can be arranged to represent months of the year...

Spenser's Images of Life
ISBN: 9781107691131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book was compiled by Alastair Fowler from notes left by C. S. Lewis at his death. It is Lewis's longest piece of literary criticism, as distinct from literary history. It approaches The Faerie Queene as a majestic pageant of the universe and nature, celebrating God as 'the glad creator', and argues that conventional views of epic and allegory must be modified if the poem is to be fully enjoyed and understood.
