The Invention of the Countryside: Hunting, Walking and Ecology in English Literature, 1671-1831
ISBN: 9780333961544 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Today's hunting debate began in the eighteenth century, when the idea of the countryside was being invented through the imaginative displacement of agricultural production in favour of country sports and landscape tourism. Between the Game Act of 1671 and its repeal in 1831, writers on walking and hunting often held opposed views, but contributed equally to the origins of modern ecology, while sharing a commitment to trespass that preserved common rights in an era of growing privatization.

The Muses of Resistance: Laboring-Class Women's Poetry in Britain, 1739 1796
ISBN: 9780521374125 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Poets such as the washerwoman Mary Collier, the milkwoman Ann Yearsley, the domestic servants Mary Leapor and Elizabeth Hands, the dairywoman Jane Little, and the slave Phillis Wheatley can be seen employing various methods to adapt the conventions of polite verse for the purposes of social criticism. Historically important, technically...
