The Classic: Sainte-Beuve and the Nineteenth-Century Culture Wars
ISBN: 9780199215850 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Focusing on a moment and a source in nineteenth-century France, Christopher Prendergast takes up a big question that is still with us: What is a classic? The question is, by virtue of its insistent recurrence, itself a classic question. It returns to haunt us. It provided the title of a text for French critic Charles-Augustin Sainte-Beuve in 1850 ("Qu'est-ce qu'un classique?"), as it did in the twentieth century for T.S. Eliot and John Coetzee. Centring on Sainte-Beuve in his nineteenth-century context, Prendergast's inquiry takes us historically to many places (antiquity, the middle ages,...

The Order of Mimesis: Balzac, Stendhal, Nerval and Flaubert
ISBN: 9780521369770 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is a challenging investigation of the idea of literary mimesis in the light of contemporary literary theory. Drawing on a range of theoretical perspectives developed in and around the work of Barthes, Kristeva, Genette and Derrida, Dr Prendergast explores approaches to the concept of mimesis and relates these to a number of narrative texts produced in the period which literary history familiarly designates as the age of realism: Balzac's Illusions Perdues and Splendeurs et Miseres des Courtisanes, Stendhal's Le Rouge et le Noir, Nerval's Sylvie and Flaubert's L'Education...

For the People, by the People?: Eugene Sue's Les Mysteres de Paris - A Hypothesis in the Sociology of Literature
ISBN: 9781900755894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. EugEne Sue (1804-57), like his contemporary Alexandre Dumas pEre, was one of the most successful writers of his time. Les MystEres de Paris, the novel for which he is most remembered, became a publishing sensation. In its serial form, it took the public by storm -- readers fought for copies of the next instalment -- and in book form its print-run reached an unprecedented 60,000. Christopher Prendergast's study engages with the problematic of emerging forms of popular literature on the basis of a specific hypothesis: that Les MystEres de Paris, written and published in serial form, was,...

The Triangle of Representation
ISBN: 9780231120913 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Moving deftly among literary and visual arts, as well as the modern critical canon, Christopher Prendergast's book explores the meaning and value of representation as both a philosophical challenge (What does it mean to create an image that "stands for" something absent?) and a political issue (Who has the right to represent whom?). The Triangle of Representation raises a range of theoretical, historical, and aesthetic questions, and offers subtle readings of such cultural critics as Raymond Williams, Paul de Man, Edward Said, Walter Benjamin, and Helene Cixous, in addition to...

Mirages and Mad Beliefs: Proust the Skeptic
ISBN: 9780691155203 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Marcel Proust was long the object of a cult in which the main point of reading his great novel In Search of Lost Time was to find, with its narrator, a redemptive epiphany in a pastry and a cup of lime-blossom tea. We now live in less confident times, in ways that place great strain on the assumptions and beliefs that made those earlier readings possible. This has led to a new manner of reading Proust, against the grain. In Mirages and Mad Beliefs, Christopher Prendergast argues the case differently, with the grain, on the basis that Proust himself was prey to self-doubt and...

Sodom and Gomorrah: In Search of Lost Time, Volume 4 (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
ISBN: 9780143039310 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sodom and Gomorrah now in a superb translation by John Sturrock takes up the theme of homosexual love, male and female, and dwells on how destructive sexual jealousy can be for those who suffer it. Proust s novel is also an unforgiving analysis of both the decadent high society of Paris and the rise of a philistine bourgeoisie that is on the way to supplanting it. Characters who had lesser roles in earlier volumes now reappear in a different light and take center stage, notably Albertine, with whom the narrator believes he is in love, and the insanely haughty Baron de Charlus.

In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower
ISBN: 9780143039075 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 558 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower is Proust s spectacular dissection of male and female adolescence, charged with the narrator s memories of Paris and the Normandy seaside. At the heart of the story lie his relationships with his grandmother and with the Swann family. As a meditation on different forms of love, In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower has no equal. Here, Proust introduces some of his greatest comic inventions, from the magnificently dull M. de Norpois to the enchanting Robert de Saint-Loup. It is memorable as well for the first appearance of the two figures...

Debating World Literature
ISBN: 9781859844588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the continuing debates about the cultural dimensions of globalization the question of literature has been something of a poor relation. This volume seeks to redress the balance, with a starting point of Goethe's idea of Weltliteratur, from which it travels out to various parts of the globe at different historical junctures. The book's concerns include the legacy of Goethe's idea; variable understandings of the term literature itself; cross-cultural encounters (the contact of the oral and the written, the paradoxes of exoticism); the nature of small literatures and the cultural politics of...
