Aimé Césaire
ISBN: 9780521390729 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aime Cesaire is the best known poet in the French Caribbean. In this study Gregson Davis examines Cesaire's extraordinary dual career as writer and elected politician. As one of the most profound critics of colonialism, Cesaire, the acknowledged inventor of the famous term "negritude," has been a hugely influential figure in shaping the contemporary discourse on the postcolonial predicament. Gregson Davis' account of Cesaire's intellectual growth is grounded in a careful reading of the poetry, prose and drama that illustrates the full range and depth of his literary achievement.

Parthenope, the Interplay of Ideas in Vergilian Bucolic
ISBN: 9789004233089 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

In the bucolic dystopia...

ISBN: 9780520070776 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 293 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Horace's Odes have a surface translucency that belies their rhetorical sophistication. Gregson Davis brings together recent trends in the study of Augustan poetry and critical theory and deftly applies them to individual poems.
