Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Paradox and Perspicacity: Horizons of Knowledge in the Literary Text enters into a dialogue with recent scholarship on a number of fronts. Taking into full account the role played by esotericism in shaping the thought of Leibniz, Cardano, and the Helmonts, Robert Eisenhauer elaborates Lessing s -cybernetic- view of historical evolution.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Weimar and Work: Labor, Literature, and Industrial Modernity on the Weimar Left analyzes writing about work that was published in communist and anarchist newspapers during the Weimar Republic. By discussing texts that have been almost completely neglected, this book s approach departs from existing scholarship on Weimar in two significant ways. First, it analyzes these texts in the context of the period s dominant theories, practices, psychologies, and utopian ideas concerning labor. Due to the proximity of artistic and industrial -production, - particularly in the minds and practices...

Rainer Maria Rilke: The Poet's Trajectory
ISBN: 9780820474014 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) 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...

The Moral World of «Billy Budd»

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Moral World of Billy Budd sees the novel not as inviting us to choose between the testament of acceptance and the testament of resistance, those views that, respectively, support and critique Captain Vere but rather as challenging us to experience the difficulty of making decisions in the world. The first part is devoted to an intensive examination of the evolution of the two testaments, including analyses of the three book-length studies of the novel, climaxing with Wenke s argument that the Genetic Text shows the novel s active pursuit of ambiguity. The second part analyzes the...

Folklore in British Literature; Naming and Narrating in Women's Fiction, 1750-1880
ISBN: 9780820463407 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Folklore provides a metaphor for insecurity in British women s writing published between 1750 and 1880. When characters feel uneasy about separations between races, classes, or sexes, they speak of mermaids and -Cinderella- to make threatening women unreal and thus harmless. Because supernatural creatures change constantly, a name or story from folklore merely reinforces fears about empire, labor, and desire. To illustrate these fascinating rhetorical strategies, this book explores works by Sarah Fielding, Ann Radcliffe, Sydney Owenson, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Anne Thackeray, and Jean...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The phantasmagoric short stories and satirical novellas of the Russian modernist Sigizmund Kr i anovskij (1887-1950) are a unique amalgam of verbal pyrotechnics, scientific erudition, and philosophical contemplation.

The use of the motif by these writers, separated by both...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Aftermyths investigates fault-lines in literary and visual representation from 1870 to the early twentieth century as they range from a faux essentialism, often with ethnic overtones, to a -cadence of decadence- reflecting the dissensions of modernity. Reading Henry James and Mark Twain with side-glances to the cartoon revolution of Rudolf Dirks and Richard Felton Outcault, Robert Eisenhauer delves into the archive of frontier or histrionic -decadence, - -Americanness, - and -Germanness.- Pastoral idiom and foreign words, -incomprehensible to us as so many dead languages, - reflect...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Fanny Lewald: Between Rebellion and Renunciation provides the first comprehensive account in English of the life and work of Fanny Lewald (1811-1889), tracing the way she positioned herself sometimes precariously between rebellion and renunciation.
