Medievalist Traditions in Nineteenth-Century British Culture: Celebrating the Calendar Year
ISBN: 9781843846826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. A survey of the rituals of the year in Victorian England, showing the influence of the Middle Ages. What does a maypole represent? Why eat hot cross buns? Did Dick Whittington have a cat? All these questions are related to a larger one that nineteenth-century Britons asked themselves: which was more fun: living in their own time, or living in the Middle Ages? While Britain was becoming the most industrially-advanced nation in the world, many vaunted the superiority of the present to the past-yet others felt that if shadows of past ways of life haunted the present, they were friendly ghosts. ...

Medievalism and the Quest for the Real Middle Ages
ISBN: 9781138878167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Medievalism, the later reception of the Middle Ages, has been used by many writers, not just during the Victorian period but from the Renaissance to the present, as a means of commenting on their own societies and systems of values.

Eyes Across the Channel
ISBN: 9781032130446 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book, first published in 2000, uses interpretations of the French Revolution as a model to ask what history meant to Victorian Britain, how events became enshrined with the authority of history, and how such cultural assumptions might help us to read nineteenth-century British literature. By examining reactions to French revolution in a broad selection of texts, this book explores how the Victorians responded to developments in France in historical terms, repeatedly comparing new events to the touchstone of the first French Revolution, yet always with the goal of finding ways to...
