Passions Between Women
ISBN: 9781447279464 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Passions Between Women looks at stories of lesbian desires, acts and identities from the Restoration to the beginning of the nineteenth century. Far from being invisible, the figure of the woman who felt passion for women in this period was a subject of confusion and contradiction: she could be put in a freak show as a 'hermaphrodite', denounced as a 'tribade' or 'lesbian', revered as a 'romantic friend', jailed as a 'female husband' or gossiped about as a 'woman-lover', 'tommy' or 'Sapphist'. Through an examination of a wealth of new medical, legal and erotic source material, together with...

Jonathan Swift: A Critical Introduction
ISBN: 9780521141352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this concise critical survey, Professor Donoghue looks at Swift's whole output, and expresses a fresh sense of his literary character. In particular, he questions the widespread view that Swift is to be understood in terms of irony, persona or mask. He points out, for instance, that Swift's irony is not continuous, and that his sense of form is not ours. We should not see him as producing elaborate artistic structures, but as meeting particular needs which forced themselves upon him. We need also to identify the 'gestures' through which Swift revealed his characteristic mental attitudes,...

Among These Winters
ISBN: 9781904556701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mary O'Donoghue was born in 1975 and grew up in Co. Clare. Her first poetry collection Tulle was published in 2001, and her poems have appeared widely in Irish and international periodicals and anthologies, including The New Irish Poets (Bloodaxe, 2004). She is an assistant professor of English at Babson College, Massachusetts, and she lives in Boston. Among These Winters opens with an epigraph from Rilke on the heartbreak of parting, and stays mindful of this theme... Yet a striking good humor suffuses the collection, and nowhere more so than in poems like "The Stylist" and "Leading the Apes...

Astray

A mother searches for her baby girl, sent away on a train headed west. A teenage soldier wrestles with his conscience far from home.
The fascinating characters who roam the pages of Emma Donoghue's stories have all gone astray. They are emigrants, runaways, drifters, gold miners and counterfeiters, attorneys and slaves. They cross countless borders. They travel for love or money, incognito or under duress. The celebrated author of Room transports us from Puritan Massachusetts to Revolutionary-era New...

The Fame Machine: Book Reviewing and Eighteenth-Century Literary Careers
ISBN: 9780804725637 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This text explores how the concept of the literary career was reshaped by the commodification of writing in the 18th century, a period between an age of substantial sponsorship by the nobility and the fully developed literary market of the 19th century. It argues that, as the conditions of literary production shifted from a patronage system to an open market, the traditional means by which authors measured their success and acquired their credentials changed as well. The book shows how critical periodicals assumed the role of official arbiters of literary merit. In tracing this process, the...

Ma ślady używania - otwierania i kartkowania, rysy, zabrudzenia. Wygląda jak książka, którą wypożyczasz w bibliotece.
"On Eloquence" questions the common assumption that eloquence is merely a subset of rhetoric, a means toward a rhetorical end. Denis Donoghue, an eminent and prolific critic of the English language, holds that this assumption is erroneous. While rhetoric is the use of language to persuade people to do one thing rather than another, Donoghue maintains that eloquence is...

The Last Professors: The Corporate University and the Fate of the Humanities, with a New Introduction
ISBN: 9780823228607 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "What makes the modern university different from any other corporation?" asked Columbia's Andrew Delbanco recently in the New York Times. "There is more and more reason to think: less and less," he answered. In this provocative book, Frank Donoghue shows how this growing corporate culture of higher education threatens its most fundamental values by erasing one of its defining features: the tenured professor. Taking a clear-eyed look at American higher education over the last twenty years, Donoghue outlines a web of forces--social, political, and institutional--dismantling the professoriate....

Forest Community Connections: Implications for Research, Management, and Governance
ISBN: 9781933115689 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The connections between communities and forests are complex and evolving, presenting challenges to forest managers, researchers, and communities themselves. Dependency on timber extraction and timber-related industries is no longer a universal characteristic of the forest community. Remoteness is also a less common feature, as technology, workforce mobility, tourism, and 'amenity migrants' increasingly connect rural to urban places. Forest Community Connections explores the responses of forest communities to a changing economy, changing federal policy, and concerns about forest health from...
