Oscar Wilde Prefigured: Queer Fashioning and British Caricature, 1750-1900
ISBN: 9780226358642 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "I do not say you are it, but you look it, and you pose at it, which is just as bad," Lord Queensbury challenged Oscar Wilde in the courtroom--which erupted in laughter--accusing Wilde of posing as a sodomite. What was so terrible about posing as a sodomite, and why was Queensbury's horror greeted with such amusement? In Oscar Wilde Prefigured, Dominic Janes suggests that what divided the two sides in this case was not so much the question of whether Wilde was or was not a sodomite, but whether or not it mattered that people could appear to be sodomites. For many,...

Martyrdom and Terrorism: Pre-Modern to Contemporary Perspectives
ISBN: 9780199959877 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent years, terrorism has become closely associated with martyrdom in the minds of many terrorists and in the view of nations around the world. In Islam, martyrdom is mostly conceived as "bearing witness" to faith and God. Martyrdom is also central to the Christian tradition, not only in the form of Christ's Passion or saints faced with persecution and death, but in the duty to lead a good and charitable life. In both religions, the association of religious martyrdom with political terror has a long and difficult history. The essays of this volume illuminate this history--following, for...

Victorian Reformation: The Fight Over Idolatry in the Church of England, 1840-1860
ISBN: 9780195378511 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In early Victorian England there was intense interest in understanding the early Church as an inspiration for contemporary sanctity. This was manifested in a surge in archaeological inquiry and also in the construction of new churches using medieval models. Some Anglicans began to use a much more complicated form of ritual involving vestments, candles, and incense. This "Anglo-Catholic" movement was vehemently opposed by evangelicals and dissenters, who saw this as the vanguard of full-blown "popery." The disputed buildings, objects, and art works were regarded by one side as idolatrous and...

Picturing the Closet: Male Secrecy and Homosexual Visibility in Britain
ISBN: 9780190205638 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. To what extent did people think they could identify an 'obvious' sodomite before the construction of the homosexual as a type of person during the latter part of the nineteenth century? What role did secrecy and denial play in relation to the visual expression of same-sex desire before the term 'the closet' came into widespread use in the latter part of the twentieth century? And what, therefore, did sodomites/homosexuals/gays/queers look like in Britain in 1700, 1800, 1900 and 2000? Could they be spotted mincing down the street? Or were such as these just the flamboyant few whose presence...

Shopping for Jesus: Faith in Marketing in the USA
ISBN: 9780980081435 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This volume explores the connections between faith, the presentation of belief and the processes by which it is sold and consumed. The contributors have all been researching the way in which religion operates in a market culture and the degree to which one can use the notions of branding, advertising and marketing to understand missionary and revival activities. Conversely, one might ask whether religious methods of self-promotion underlay the development of some of the techniques of private enterprise. The contributors come from theology, history, art history, literature and business studies...

God and Gold in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780521158749 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study explains the rise of the Christian grandeur of great churches in late antiquity and the Middle Ages. From the fourth century churches were paid for in gold--and were often decorated with it--in apparent contradiction to Christ's message of poverty and simplicity. Previous books have focused either on art historical imagery or on theological disputes. This pioneering study employs modern theories concerning imagery and allegory to enable us to understand the ancient and medieval world view and the textual and artistic legacy of that age.

Visions of Queer Martyrdom from John Henry Newman to Derek Jarman
ISBN: 9780226250618 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With all the heated debates around religion and homosexuality today, it might be hard to see the two as anything but antagonistic. But in this book, Dominic Janes reveals the opposite: Catholic forms of Christianity, he explains, played a key role in the evolution of the culture and visual expression of homosexuality and male same-sex desire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He explores this relationship through the idea of queer martyrdom--closeted queer servitude to Christ--a concept that allowed a certain degree of latitude for the development of same-sex desire.

Walsingham in Literature and Culture from the Middle Ages to Modernity
ISBN: 9781138382787 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Walsingham was medieval England's most important shrine to the Virgin Mary and a popular pilgrimage site. Following its modern revival it is also well known today. For nearly a thousand years, it has been the subject of, or referred to in, music, poetry and novels (by for instance Langland, Erasmus, Sidney, Shakespeare, Hopkins, Eliot and Lowell). But only in the last twenty years or so has it received serious scholarly attention. This volume represents the first collection of multi-disciplinary essays on Walsingham's broader cultural significance. Contributors to this book focus on the...
