Brooms and Shovels: Poems and Writings
ISBN: 9781535172097 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shaffer takes readers to the ends of a spectrum that runs from smart choppy essays on issues that he chooses to relate to in a very personal way to ambitious observations of the natural world, the material world and his comings and goings. No subjects are out of bounds; no themes or styles are imposed. Unable to avoid describing inanimate objects and situations with anthropomorphic humor and finesse, he plays with language that takes us on an imaginative trek to the sublime and the ridiculous stopping along the way at clever and curious.

This volume, first published in 1996, addresses literary theory and criticism, comparative studies in terms of theme, genre movement and influence, and interdisciplinary perspectives. Geoffrey Hartman, one of the major comparatists of this period, whose subtle phenomenological readings have transformed Romantic studies in English, gives a lapidary account of those poets of the Holocaust Paul Celan and Nelly Sachs, whose refusal of traditional imagery is a last fragile link with it. The twentieth anniversary of the founding of the British Comparative Literature Association in 1975 at Norwich...

ISBN: 9780521298070 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dr. Shaffer outlines the development of the 'mythological school' of European Biblical criticism, especially its German origins and its reception in England, and studies the influences of this movement in the work of specific writers: Coleridge, Holderlin, Browning, and George Eliot.
The 'higher criticism' treated sacred scripture as literature and as history, the product of its time, and the highest expression of a developing group consciousness; it challenged current views on the authorship and dating of the Pentateuch and the Gospels, on inspiration, prophecy, and canonicity, and...
