This is the first study devoted to the story of Troilus and Cressida as it has developed through the ages and in various literatures.

They trace the story in its mythical form as it passed from the Greeks, Etruscans, and Romans into the hands of artists such as Benoit de Sainte Maure, Boccaccio, Chaucer, Henryson, Shakespeare, and Dryden, and as it was finally resurrected in the 20th century in America, England, and Germany. Analyzing the changes, both...

The Gospel according to Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780268022358 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this slim, poetically powerful volume, Piero Boitani develops his earlier work in The Bible and Its Rewritings, focusing on Shakespeare's "rescripturing" of the Gospels. Boitani persuasively urges that Shakespeare read the New Testament with great care and an overall sense of affirmation and participation, and that many of his plays constitute their own original testament, insofar as they translate the good news into human terms. In Hamlet and King Lear, he suggests, Shakespeare's "New Testament" is merely hinted at, and faith, salvation, and peace are only glimpsed from far away. But in...

ISBN: 9780859911627 / Angielski / Twarda / 1984 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. lThe House/of/Fame/l> is one of Chaucer's most intellectually challenging poems, drawing on diverse traditions such as dream poetry and mythology, but unified by the central concept of Fame. It is this concept, and the imaginary world' which surrounds it, which Professor Boitani explores in this volume in the Chaucer Studies series. He begins with a brief outline and discussion of the poem, showing what problems it poses, and then turns to explore the history and meaning of the idea of Fame, such as Chaucer might have received from tradition', a quest which leads him into Biblical, classical...

The Genius to Improve an Invention: Literary Transitions
ISBN: 9780268029517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

In five elegant essays he examines a wide range of...

It is a book that spans the millennia, the adventures of Ulysses in Homer and God’s mysterious appearance to Abraham in Genesis, down not only to Joyce’s Ulysses and Thomas Mann’s Joseph and his Brothers, but also to Dumas’ Count of Montecristo, Borges’s ‘The Immortal’, and Walcott's Omeros. ‘Anagnorisis’ means ‘recognition’.
