Middlebrow and Gender, 1890-1945
ISBN: 9789004313361 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Scholars of the middlebrow have demonstrated that the preferences and choices of both women writers and women readers have suffered considerably from the dismissive attitude of earlier critics. George Eliot's famous attack on 'Silly Novels by Lady Novelists' set the tone for the long tradition of gendered disputes over the literary merit of works of fiction - a controversy which eventually coalesced with a class-based hegemony of taste in the so-called Battle of the Brows. The new research presented in this volume demonstrates that this gendered inflection of the critical debate is not only...

Resistance and the City: Negotiating Urban Identities: Race, Class, and Gender
ISBN: 9789004369290 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The contributions collected in the second volume of Resistance and the City are devoted to the three markers of identity that cultural studies has recognised as paramount for our understanding of difference, inequality, and solidarity in modern societies: race, class, and gender. These categories, tightly linked to the mechanics of power, domination and subordination, have often played an eminent role in contemporary struggles and clashes in urban space. The confluence of people from diverse ethnic, social, and sexual backgrounds in the city has not only raised their awareness of a variety...

Imperial Middlebrow

The collection Imperial Middlebrow, edited by Christoph Ehland and Jana Gohrisch, takes middlebrow studies further in two ways.

Perspectives on Mobility
ISBN: 9789042037083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Literature as cultural discourse has always courted mobility. From the nomadic wanderings of the heroes of Homer and Virgil through the adventures of the medieval knight-errants to the travellers of modern times, movement and mobility have been constitutive elements of story-telling. Since writers have begun to explore the experiential dimension of movement their texts have embraced the essential changeability and instability of 'mobile worlds'. In this sense literature reflects and processes the transformative force of movement on the perception of the world and is part of the broader...
