Shakespeare, Dissent, and the Cold War
ISBN: 9781137438942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 265 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Shakespeare, Dissent and the Cold War is the first book to read Shakespeare's drama through the lens of Cold War politics. Rather than simply exploring how Shakespeare's plays were appropriated for political purposes in Communist Central and Eastern Europe, the book uses the Cold War experience of dissenting artists in theatre and film to highlight the coded religio-political subtexts in Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth and The Winter's Tale.
Combining close readings of these plays with their adaptations by dissenting artists in the twentieth century, the study reveals the deep ideological...

Anne's Bohemia: Czech Literature and Society, 1310-1420 Volume 13
ISBN: 9780816630547 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The first book in English on medieval Czech literature.
Anne's Bohemia is the first book in English to introduce the little-known riches of medieval Bohemian culture. Alfred Thomas considers the development of Czech literature and society from the coronation of Count John of Luxembourg as king of Bohemia in 1310 to the year 1420, when the papacy declared a Catholic crusade against the Hussite reformers. This period is of particular relevance to the study of medieval England because of Richard II's marriage to Anne of Bohemia, the figure around whom this book is conceived. Anne's Bohemia...

Reading Women in Late Medieval Europe: Anne of Bohemia and Chaucer's Female Audience
ISBN: 9781137544193 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Geoffrey Chaucer has traditionally been seen as indebted to the great male writers of medieval Europe: Dante, Boccaccio, Petrarch and Guillaume de Machaut. However, little has been written about the European woman who was Queen of England and his possible patron: Anne of Bohemia, daughter of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV and wife of Richard II. Although Chaucer explicitly compliments the Queen in his work, scholars have been reluctant or unable to engage seriously with the question of her role in Chaucer's oeuvre. This book shows that Anne came from a long line of highly educated and...

Prague Palimpsest: Writing, Memory, and the City
ISBN: 9780226795409 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A city of immense literary mystique, Prague has inspired writers across the centuries with its beauty, cosmopolitanism, and tragic history. Envisioning the ancient city in central Europe as a multilayered text, or palimpsest, that has been constantly revised and rewritten--from the medieval and Renaissance chroniclers who legitimized the city's foundational origins to the modernists of the early twentieth century who established its reputation as the new capital of the avant-garde--Alfred Thomas argues that Prague has become a paradoxical site of inscription and effacement, of memory and...

Writing Plague: Language and Violence from the Black Death to COVID-19
ISBN: 9783030948528 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Writing Plague: Language and Violence from the Black Death to COVID-19brings a holistic and comparative perspective to “plague writing” from the later Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. It argues that while the human “hardware” has changed enormously between the medieval past and the present (urbanization, technology, mass warfare, and advances in medical science), the human “software” (emotional and psychological reactions to the shock of pandemic) has remained remarkably similar across time. Through close readings of works by medieval writers like Guillaume de Machaut,...

A Blessed Shore: England and Bohemia from Chaucer to Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780801445682 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Winter's Tale, Antigonus announces that his ship has washed up on the shores of Bohemia. How and why landlocked Bohemia? Did Shakespeare not know his geography, or is something else at work here? Alfred Thomas answers these questions by exploring cross-cultural interactions between England and Bohemia from the fourteenth to the early seventeenth century. He is interested less in the diplomacy and politics of this history than in the images the shifting blends of fact and fiction that each of the two cultures nourished about the other. Although Thomas gives original readings of famous...

ISBN: 9781365188756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 56 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This volume shows the common held beliefs about demons during and just after the Reformation period started by Martin Luther. These beliefs are mainly shown through the use of fiction present at the time especially through the plays of the master of theatre himself, William Shakespeare. The author relies heavily on these examples but it is effective since so many people held ideas about demons that were not particularly sanctioned by the church.
