War, the Hero and the Will: Hardy, Tolstoy and the Napoleonic Wars
ISBN: 9781845199043 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Thomas Hardy's The Dynasts and Leo Tolstoy's War & Peace are both works which defy attempts to assign them to a particular genre, but might seem to have little else in common apart from being set in the same period of history. This study argues that there are important similarities between these two works and examines the close correspondence between Hardy's and Tolstoy's thinking on themes relating to war, ideas of the heroic, and the concept of free will. Although coming from very different backgrounds, both writers were influenced by their experiences of war, Tolstoy directly by...

Myth of the Modern Hero: Changing Perceptions of Heroism
ISBN: 9781845199029 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The idea of the hero originates in myths from the distant past and has been applied to many different concepts in different societies, cultures and historical time periods. As a mythical signifier the meaning of the word 'hero' changes according to the intentions of the user, and this study examines some of the ways in which heroic myths have been created, either to justify the actions of those in power or to produce an imaginary ideal to which the majority can aspire. The warrior heroes of Greek legend fighting for individual glory and honour have little in common with the soldiers fighting...

Thomas Hardy and Empire: The Representation of Imperial Themes in the Work of Thomas Hardy
ISBN: 9781409440826 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Thomas Hardy is not generally recognized as an imperial writer, even though he wrote during a period of major expansion of the British Empire and in spite of the many allusions to the Roman Empire and Napoleonic Wars in his writing. Jane L. Bownas examines the context of these references, proposing that Hardy was a writer who not only posed a challenge to the whole of established society, but one whose writings bring into question the very notion of empire. Bownas argues that Hardy takes up ideas of the primitive and civilized that were central to Western...
