The Modern Scottish Novel: Narrative and the National Imagination
ISBN: 9780748608935 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the last quarter century, Scottish novelists from Muriel Spark, Alasdair Gray and Allan Massie to James Kelman, Janice Galloway, A.L. Kennedy and Irvine Welsh have achieved significant international success. In The Modern Scottish Novel Cairns Craig shows how the work of such writers is constructed by a powerful national tradition in the novel, formed in the first decades of the century by writers such as John Buchan, Nan Shepherd, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and Neil Gunn, a tradition whose distinctive thematic and formal concerns have shaped a unique contribution to the novel in English....

ISBN: 9780748637133 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Laing, some of the most significant challenges to Freudian psychology. Craig uses this Scottish tradition to...

ISBN: 9780748609123 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Associationism and the Literary Imagination traces the influence of empirical philosophy and associationist psychology on theories of literary creativity and on the experience of reading literature. It runs from David Hume's Treatise of Human Nature in 1739 to the works of major literary critics of the twentieth century, such as I.A. Richards, W.K. Wimsatt and Northrop Frye. Cairns Craig explores the ways in which associationist conceptions of literature gave rise to some of the key transformations in British writing between the romantic and modernist periods. In particular, he analyses the...

The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion
ISBN: 9781841954325 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 944 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The authoritative 1890 edition with an introduction by Cairns Craig and Frazer's own afterword. Published originally in two volumes in 1890, this extraordinary study of primitive myth and magic led Scottish anthropologist J.G. Frazer to identify parallel patterns of ritual, symbols, and belief across many centuries and many different cultures. His observations on the mysteries of fertility and death, and the rites of the sacrificial king who must die to save his people, overturned much of contemporary intellectual thinking, not least because of the enlightening or "heretical" parallels it...

Yeats, Eliot, Pound and the Politics of Poetry: Richest to the Richest
ISBN: 9781138999374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It has long been recognised that there is an apparently paradoxical relationship between the revolutionary poetic style developed by Yeats, Eliot and Pound in the period during and after the First World War, and the reactionary politics with which they were associated in the 1920s and 1930s. Concentrating on their writings in the period up to the 1930s, this study, first published in 1982, helps to resolve the paradox and also provides a much needed reappraisal of the factors influencing their poetic and political development. The work of these poets has usually been seen as...
