Ben Jonson: A Life
ISBN: 9780674066267 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ben Jonson's contemporaries admired him above all other playwrights and poets of the English Renaissance. He was the "great refiner" who alchemized the bleakest aspects of everyday life into brilliant images of folly and deceit. He was also a celebrated reprobate and an ambitious entrepreneur. David Riggs illuminates every facet of this extraordinary career, giving us the first major biography of Jonson in over sixty years. The story of Jonson's life provides a broad view of the literary procession in early modern England and the milieu in which Elizabethan drama was produced....

The World of Christopher Marlowe
ISBN: 9780571221608 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. David Riggs evokes the atmosphere and texture of Marlowe's life, from the stench and poverty of a childhood spent near Canterbury's abattoirs to the fanatical pursuit of classical learning at school. Marlowe won a place at Cambridge University, where he entered its world of 18-hour working days, religious intrigue and twilight homosexuality, tolerated but unspoken. The gifted student was not immune to the passions and fears of the wider society, and Riggs describes the mood of England in those years when Elizabeth's crown was anything but secure, and Spain and the Papacy were determined to...

Sailing Toward Freedom: Early American Merchant Mariners at Work and In Protest
ISBN: 9781505228380 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Sailing Toward Freedom is about work and political protest in the decades leading up to the American Revolution. Specifically, I explore the work performed by merchant seamen and try to uncover why so many of them participated so often in the protests of the 1760s and 1770s. Early American merchant mariners viewed themselves as a breed apart. Of course, so did the wigged elites and the people who wrote the histories. It is just that their view of mariners as the dregs of society was in direct opposition to mariners' view of themselves. Mariners understood liberty and freedom in unique ways...
