ISBN: 9781433132278 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 155 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The modernist movement, in literature as well as in criticism, provides a very instructive case of iconoclastic canon-change and subsequent canon-formation, and modern British literary criticism has been remarkably canon-forming in its basic tendency.

George Orwell is a figure in the history of British cultural criticism who links the pre-war and the post-war generations of modernist writers and critics. Raymond Williams...

John Barth and Postmodernism: Spatiality, Travel, Montage
ISBN: 9780820463858 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. John Barth s eminence as a postmodernist is indisputable. However, much of the criticism dealing with his work is prompted by his own theories of -exhaustion- and subsequent -replenishment, - leaving his writing relatively untouched by theories of postmodernism in general. This book changes that by focusing on the relationship between Barth s aesthetic and the ideology critique of the historical avant-gardes, which were the first to mobilize art against itself and its institutional practices and demands. Examining Barth s metafictional parodies in the light of theories of space and...

Rainer Maria Rilke: The Poet's Trajectory
ISBN: 9780820474014 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Influenced by Hegel and Nietzsche, and inspired by stays in Italy and France, as well as travels to Russia, Spain, and North Africa, Rainer Maria Rilke nevertheless sought desperately to be original. He rejected all -idees recues, - whether they were of God, reality, or literature, instead creating his own absolute. He searched for the -real, - re-formed German poetry, and revolutionized Western narrative prose with Malte Laurids Brigge. While Rilke s work is marked by two cesuras, after which it displays important advances in diction and the figuration of verbal icons, it becomes ever more...
