Hong Kong: A Cultural History
ISBN: 9780195314960 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hong Kong is the epitome of the modern city and a crossroads between eastern and western cultures. Today the city is most famously characterized by its breathtaking skyscraper skyline, dominating its "fragrant" harbor. The hundred-year-old Star Ferry, which continues to ply the seven-minute route between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, enhances the nocturnal magic of this unique maritime city, composed of China's southernmost peninsula and an archipelago of over two hundred islands. Hong Kong has always been something of an anomaly, and an outpost of empire, whether British or...

Sovereign Fantasies: Arthurian Romance and the Making of Britain
ISBN: 9780812236002 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During and after the Hundred Years War, English rulers struggled with a host of dynastic difficulties, including problems of royal succession, volatile relations with their French cousins, and the consolidation of their colonial ambitions toward the areas of Wales and Scotland. Patricia Ingham brings these precarious historical positions to bear on readings of Arthurian literature in Sovereign Fantasies, a provocative work deeply engaged with postcolonial and gender theory. Ingham argues that late medieval English Arthurian romance has broad cultural ambitions, offering a fantasy of insular...

Language of Gender and Class: Transformation in the Victorian Novel
ISBN: 9780415082228 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work examines in detail the widely accepted critical cliche examining the representation of gender always involves investigating the representation of class. Using historical material about class, it re-examines six major Victorian novels. Focusing upon language, the text explores how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the social order. The author argues that none of the novelists considered, either male or female, completely accepts either the stereotyped figures or the authorized story. The figures of the angel and the whore are reassessed and modified...

The Function of Physical Space in the Cuban Novel of the 1950s
ISBN: 9783846504253 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Long overshadowed by the subsequent 1960s Boom , Cuban novels of the 1950s have been confined to the backwater of literary analysis, often grouped together and dismissed as mere social realism like their Spanish counterparts, or described as inferior. The spatial has been similarly overlooked in literary analysis in favour of a focus on stylistic experimentation, narrative structure, characterisation and the temporal. More recently, however, theorists have argued that literature has become increasingly spatial, and that a greater focus on the spatial is needed. Furthermore, conceptions of...
