The Palgrave Handbook of Gothic Origins
ISBN: 9783030845643 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 618 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This handbook provides a comprehensive overview of research on the Gothic Revival. The Gothic Revival was based on emotion rather than reason and when Horace Walpole created Strawberry Hill House, a gleaming white castle on the banks of the Thames, he had to create new words to describe the experience of gothic lifestyle. Nevertheless, Walpole’s house produced nightmares and his bookThe Castle of Otrantowas the first truly gothic novel, with supernatural, sensational and Shakespearean elements challenging the emergent fiction of social relationships.

ISBN: 9781138177123 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. British culture has changed almost beyond recognition since 1956.

American Poetry: The Modernist Ideal
ISBN: 9780333532898 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Tracing its origins back to Walt Whitman, the Modernist tradition in American poetry is driven by the same concern to engage with the world in revolutionary terms, inspired by the concept of democracy vital to the American dream. But this tradition is not confined to a few writers at the beginning of the century: instead it has been an enduring force, extending from coast to coast and of varying hues: Imagist, Objectivist, Beat. International in flavour but shaped by the language and conditions of America, this poetry continues to speak to us today. This collection of specially commissioned...
