This book explains the origins and nature of terrorism in Pakistan and examines the social, political and economic factors that have contributed to the rise of political violence there.

'Slight Return': Paul Muldoon's Poetics of Place
ISBN: 9783034319867 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume examines the relationship between poetic language and place in the work of Paul Muldoon.

In particular, it demonstrates how various forms of repetition and return, in language and memory, are crucial to Muldoon's approach to place and landscape. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the poet's... This volume examines the relationship between poetic language and place in the work of Paul Muldoon.

ISBN: 9783034302791 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The central theme of landscape has long been associated with the construction and expression of Irish national identity, particularly in relation to rural Ireland, which traditionally has been regarded as an important source of national heritage and culture. Associated with this preoccupation is the rural/urban divide that has characterised traditional representations of Ireland, especially since the end of the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw dramatic changes to both rural and urban Ireland. The Celtic Tiger economy and the post-Tiger context have also seen momentous...

New Voices, Inherited Lines: Literary and Cultural Representations of the Irish Family
ISBN: 9783034307994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Irish writers have always been fascinated by the family, sometimes depicting it as a traditional space under threat from external influences, sometimes highlighting the dangers lurking within. More recently, families have been represented as a type of safe haven from a bewildering postmodern world. At the heart of these constructions are questions of power and agency, as well as issues of class, gender, ethnicities and sexualities.

Voyages Between France and Ireland: Culture, Tourism and Sport
ISBN: 9783034322645 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The voyage - the quest, the odyssey, the expedition - is one of the driving forces of civilisation. From ancient times to the present day, human beings have travelled through necessity (wars, persecutions, economic and political pressures), by vocation (religious and humanitarian) and for pleasure (tourism, culture and sport). A voyage intensifies our perception of self, leading us to define and redefine our identity in the liminal space where we are confronted with the Other. This often leads to a change of perspective in our attitudes to culture, identity and politics. The sea is an...

Envisioning Ireland: W. B. Yeats's Occult Nationalism
ISBN: 9783039118823 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Although W. B. Yeats is one of the most over-theorised authors in the Irish canon, little attempt has been made to situate his occult works in the political context of early twentieth-century Ireland. By evaluating the two versions of A Vision, published in 1925 and 1937, this book provides a methodology for understanding the political and cultural impulses that informed Yeats s engagement with the otherworld. The author suggests that the Yeatsian occult operates very firmly within the political parameters of Irish nationalism, often as a critique of the new Free State, or as an...

Breaking the Mould: Literary Representations of Irish Catholicism
ISBN: 9783034302326 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Catholicism has played a central role in Irish society for centuries. It is sometimes perceived in a negative light, being associated with repression, antiquated morality and a warped view of sexuality. However, there are also the positive aspects that Catholicism brought to bear on Irish culture, such as the beauty of its rituals, education and health care, or concern for the poor and the underprivileged. Whatever their experience of Catholicism, writers of a certain generation could not escape its impact on their lives, an impact which is pervasive in the literature they produced.
