Browning's Hatreds
ISBN: 9780198112297 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The bitter and twisted monk of "Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister" is Browning's best-known hater, but hatred was a topic to which he returned again and again in both letters and poems. Daniel Karlin has written a sensitive and original study of Browning's hatreds, and their influence on his poetry. Tracing the subtlest windings and branchings of Browning's idea of hatred through detailed discussion of key poems, the author shows how Browning's work displays an unequalled grasp of hatred as a personal emotion, as an intellectual principle, and as a source of artistic creativity. Particular...

Proust's English
ISBN: 9780199256891 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. English is the 'second language' of A la recherche du temps perdu. Although much has been written about Proust's debt to English literature, especially Ruskin, Daniel Karlin is the first critic to focus on his knowledge of the language itself - on vocabulary, idiom, and etymology. He uncovers an 'English world' in Proust's work, a world whose social comedy and artistic values reveal surprising connections to some of the novel's central preoccupations with sexuality and art. Anglomanie- the fashion for all things English - has been as powerful a presence in French culture as hostility to...

The Figure of the Singer
ISBN: 9780199213986 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why did poets continue to call themselves singers, and their poems songs, long after the formal link between poetry and music had been severed? Daniel Karlin explores the origin and meaning of the "figure of the singer," tracing its roots in classical mythology and in the Bible, and following its rise from the 'adventurous song' of Milton's Paradise Lost to its apotheosis in the nineteenth century--by which time it had also become an oppressive cliche. Poets might embrace, or resist, this dominant figure of their art, but could not ignore it. Shadowing the metaphor is another figure, that of...

Rudyard Kipling is a supreme master of the short story in English and a poet of brilliant gifts.

The Penguin Book of Victorian Verse
ISBN: 9780140445787 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 928 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901
Giving pride of place to Tennyson, Robert Browning, and Christina Rossetti, this volume offers generous selections from other major poets such as Arnold, Emily Bronte, Hardy and Hopkins, and makes room for several poem-sequences in their entirety. It is wonderful, too, in its discovery and inclusion of eccentric, dissenting, un-Victorian voices, poets who squarely refuse to "represent" their period. It also includes the work of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, George Meredith, James Thomson and... A selection of poetry written and published during the reign of Queen Victoria, 1837-1901
