Chronicles: The Writing of History in Medieval England
ISBN: 9781852855833 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The priorities of medieval chroniclers and historians were not those of the modern historian, nor was the way that they gathered, arranged and presented evidence. Yet if we understand how they approached their task, and their assumption of God's immanence in the world, much that they wrote becomes clear. Many of them were men of high intelligence whose interpretation of events sheds clear light on what happened. Chris Given-Wilson is one of the leading authorities on medieval English historical writing. He examines how medieval writers such as William of Malmesbury and Adam of Usk treated...

The Gothic Cathedral: The Architecture of the Great Church 1130-1530
ISBN: 9780500276815 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hundreds of these great churches were built throughout Europe in a rich variety of styles between c. 1130 and c. 1530, all of them representing an investment of money and effort so immense that it is difficult to find a modern parallel. Christopher Wilson focuses here on the interaction between design and the requirements of patrons, following the creative processes of architects by reconstructing the problems and opportunities that they faced. He discusses chronology, structural techniques, and stylistic developments and then goes further, seeing the story as a sequence of choices from which...

Cop Knowledge: Police Power and Cultural Narrative in Twentieth-Century America
ISBN: 9780226901336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Whether they appear in mystery novels or headline news stories, on prime-time TV or the silver screen, few figures have maintained such an extraordinary hold on the American cultural imagination as modern police officers. Why are we so fascinated with the police and their power? What relation do these pervasive media representations bear to the actual history of modern policing?
Christopher P. Wilson explores these questions by examining narratives of police power in crime news, popular fiction, and film, showing how they both reflect and influence the real strategies of law enforcement...

A New Way of Making Fowre Parts in Counterpoint by Thomas Campion: And Rules How to Compose by Giovanni Coprario
ISBN: 9780754605157 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Regarded as one of the most important English music treatises in the 17th century, this work reveals progressive ideas about the latent theory of inversions, the fundamental bass, cadences and tonality, and the major-minor octave scale. In this modern edition of Campion's treatise, Christopher Wilson provides a fully annotated text and an introduction which highlights the historical significance of "A New Way" both in its close relationship with Coprario's "Rules how to Compose" (which is included as an appendix together with commentary and notes) and its unusual debt to German rather than...

White Collar Fictions
ISBN: 9780820336978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. At the turn of the twentieth century, representations of "white collar" Americans--the "middle" social strata H. L. Mencken ridiculed as boobus Americanus--took on an ever-greater prominence within American literature and popular culture. Magazines like the "Saturday Evening Post" idolized businessmen and "average Americans," while books like "Winesburg, Ohio and Babbitt" produced new portraits of "middle America." In "White Collar Fictions," Christopher P. Wilson explores how these white collar representations became part and parcel of a new social class coming to terms with its own power,...

In the three decades after 1885, a virtual explosion in the nation's print media--newspaper tabloids, inexpensive magazines, and best-selling books--vaulted the American writer to unprecedented heights of cultural and political influence.

Using the works and careers of Jack London, Upton Sinclair, David Graham Phillips, and Lincoln Steffens as case studies, Christopher P. Wilson measures the advantages and costs of the new professional literary role and captures the drama of this...
