Shakespeare Among the Moderns: Toward a Mechanics of Modernist Fiction
ISBN: 9780801484186 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Modernist writers, critics, and artists sparked a fresh and distinctive interpretation of Shakespeare's plays which has proved remarkably tenacious, as Richard Halpern explains in this lively and provocative book. The preoccupations of such high modernists as T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and James Joyce set the tone for the critical reception of Shakespeare in the twentieth century. Halpern contends their habits of thought continue to dominate "postmodern" schools of criticism that claim to have broken with the modernist legacy.

Language & Human Nature
ISBN: 9781412808255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Language and Human Nature" exposes a century's worth of flawed thinking about language, to exhibit some of the dangers it presents, and to suggest a path to recovery. It begins by examining the causes of changes in the English vocabulary. These sometimes take the form of new words, but more often that of new senses for old words. In the course of this examination, Halpern discusses a wide variety of verbal solecisms, vulgarisms, and infelicities generally. His objective is not to deplore such things, but to expose the reasons for their existence, the human traits that generate them.A large...

Shakespeare's Perfume: Sodomy and Sublimity in the Sonnets, Wilde, Freud, and Lacan
ISBN: 9780812236613 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Starting with St. Paul's argument that the Greeks were afflicted with homosexuality to punish their excessive love of statues, Richard Halpern uncovers a tradition in which aesthetic experience gives birth to the sexual--and thus reverses the Freudian thesis that erotic desire is sublimated into art. Rather, Halpern argues, sodomy was implicated with aesthetic categories from the very start, as he traces a connection between sodomy and the unrepresentable that runs from Shakespeare's Sonnets to Oscar Wilde's novella The Portrait of Mr. W.H., Freud's famous essay on Leonardo da Vinci,...
