Russian Grotesque Realism: The Great Reforms and the Gentry Decline
ISBN: 9780814254684 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Russian Grotesque Realism: The Great Reforms and the Gentry Decline offers a comprehensive reevaluation of the Russian realist novel and proposes that a composite style, "grotesque realism," developed in response to social upheaval during the post-Reform era. In this compelling new study, Ani Kokobobo argues that if the realism of pre-Reform Russia could not depict socioeconomic change directly, the grotesque provided an indirect means for Russian writers to capture the instability of the times and the decline of the gentry. While realism historically represented the psychological...

Lucretius: De Rerum NaturaBook III
ISBN: 9780521173896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The third book of Lucretius' great poem on the workings of the universe is devoted entirely to expounding the implications of Epicurus' dictum that death does not matter, 'is nothing to us'. The soul is not immortal: it no more exists after the dissolution of the body than it had done before its birth. Only if this fact is accepted can men rid themselves of irrational fears and achieve the state of ataraxia, freedom from mental disturbance, on which the Epicurean definition of pleasure was based. To present this case Lucretius deploys the full range of poetic and rhetorical registers, soberly...

Ben Jonson and Possessive Authorship
ISBN: 9780521038188 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Writing before the institution of copyright, Renaissance authors were not recognized as owning their works. Yet, in an environment in which the written word could be variously marketed by printers or by acting companies, and in which authors could be held uncomfortably responsible for their writings, we can discover complex stirrings of possessiveness among such writers as Bacon, Heywood, Daniel, Shakespeare, Wither, and--most powerfully and interestingly--Ben Jonson. This book probes the literary and institutional history, the politics, and the psychology of possessive authorship.
