Turning Points and Transformations: Essays on Language, Literature and Culture
ISBN: 9781443831772 / Twarda / 2011 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the Irish Cailleach and other shape-shifters of folk legends to modern movie “transformers”; from Ovid’s Metamorphoses to the moment when Gregor Samsa woke up one morning to find himself transformed into an insect in Kafka’s novella; from conversion narratives to slave narratives, turning points and transformations have always been central to literary works and to cultural developments.

Class in Turn-Of-The-Century Novels of Gissing, James, Hardy and Wells
ISBN: 9781138675919 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 2005, this book argues that, due to political and ideological shifts in the last decades of the nineteenth century a new depiction of social class was possible in the English novel. Late-century writers such as Gissing, James, Hardy and Wells question the middle-class Victorian views of class that had dominated the novel for decades through the disruption of traditional novelistic conventions. With reference to relevant maps, journalism, artwork, photography and specific historical events, this book contextualizes novels by these writers within their historical moment....

Nineteenth-Century British Travelers in the New World
ISBN: 9781138249783 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. With cheaper publishing costs and the explosion of periodical publishing, the influence of New World travel narratives was greater during the nineteenth century than ever before, as they offered an understanding not only of America through British eyes, but also a lens though which nineteenth-century Britain could view itself. Despite the differences in purpose and method, the writers and artists discussed in Nineteenth-Century British Travelers in the New World-from Fanny Wright arriving in America in 1818 to the return of Henry James in 1904, and including Charles Dickens, Frances Trollope,...

North and South: Essays on Gender, Race and Region
ISBN: 9781443840880 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. North and South is a multi-dimensional look at a prevailing theme in current discourse on the concept of borders. This collection of essays invites us to cross historical, regional, and disciplinary boundaries. The contributors consider a range of primary texts, use a number of critical approaches, and make some surprising connections. The borders created by the concepts of north and south provoke us to ask if the terms continue to represent real divisions, or if usage and habit have drained them of any real meaning. And how have literary texts sought to represent and elucidate the divisions...
