Partial Histories: A Reappraisal of Colley Cibber
ISBN: 9781349669042 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book explores the multiple portrayals of the actor and theatre manager Colley Cibber, king of the dunces, professional fop, defacer of Shakespeare and the cruel and unforgiving father of Charlotte Charke. But these portraits of Cibber are doubly partial, exposing even as they paper over gaps and biases in the archive while reflecting back modern desires and methodologies. The Colley Cibber `everybody knows' has been variously constructed through the rise of English literature as both a cultural enterprise and an academic discipline, a process which made Shakespeare the `nation's...

Heroic Mode and Political Crisis, 1660-1745
ISBN: 9781611491067 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 245 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores a cultural language, the heroic, that remained consistently powerful through the social, political, and dynastic turbulence of the long eighteenth century. The heroic provided an accessible and vivid shorthand for the ongoing ideological debates over the nature of authority and power, the construction of an ideal masculinity, and the shape of a new, British-rather than English-national identity. An analysis of this cultural language and its different valence over time not only unpacks the overlap between aesthetic and political debate in the late seventeenth and early...

Stage Mothers: Women, Work, and the Theater, 1660-1830
ISBN: 9781611486056 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Stage Mothers explores the connections between motherhood and the theater both on and off stage throughout the long eighteenth century. Although the realities of eighteenth-century motherhood and representations of maternity have recently been investigated in relation to the novel, social history, and political economy, the idea of motherhood and its connection to the theatre as a professional, material, literary, and cultural site has received little critical attention. The essays in this volume, spanning the period from the Restoration to Regency, address these forgotten maternal...
