Poetry and the Realm of Politics: Shakespeare to Dryden
ISBN: 9780198117315 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a major study of the relation between poetry and politics in sixteenth and seventeenth-century English literature, focusing in particular on the works of Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, Milton, and Dryden. Taking issue with the traditional concept of the political poem and with recent New Historicist criticism, Erskine-Hill argues that the major tradition of political allusion is not, as has often been argued, that of the political allegory of Dryden's Absolom and Architophel and other overtly political poems, but rather a more shifting and less systematic practice, often involving...

Poetry of Opposition and Revolution: Dryden to Wordsworth
ISBN: 9780198121770 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a major study of the relation between poetry and politics from the 1688 Revolution to the early years of the nineteenth century, focusing in particular on the works of Dryden, Pope, Johnson, and Wordsworth. Building on his argument in Poetry and the Realm of Politics: Shakespeare to Dryden (also available from OUP), Erskine-Hill argues that the major tradition of political allusion is not, as has often been argued, that of political allegory and overtly political poems, but rather a more shifting and less systematic practice, often involving equivocal or multiple reference.

Presenting Poetry: Composition, Publication, Reception
ISBN: 9780521473606 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The presentation of poetry to auditor and reader involves a complex interaction of rhetorical, orthographical and visual mediating skills. At issue are the nature of "authority," the creation of a readership attuned to the writer's resonance, and a delicate negotiation between literary tradition and individual talent. Leading scholars focus on the presentation of major poetic texts from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, making comparisons across boundaries of generic form. The book includes consideration of the work of Spenser, Milton, Pope, Blake, Wordsworth, Browning, Yeats, and...

Alexander Pope: Selected Letters
ISBN: 9780198185659 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Pope's letters are fascinating documents, apart from his importance as a poet. Highly revealing of his remarkable character--ambitious, dangerous, trimming, ridiculous, intelligent, generous yet antagonistic--they also comprise a body of writing of extraordinary interest for an understanding of his times: its personalities, its plots, its tragedies and exiles, its loves, its scandals, the movement of its religious, political, and philosophical ideas, its sense of poetry, and its notions of poetic craft and genre. Moreover, Pope published a collection of his own letters: a selective and highly...

Locke, Literary Criticism, and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521024747 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Walker's analysis of John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding offers a challenging and provocative assessment of Locke's importance as a thinker, bridging the gap between philosophical and literary-critical discussion of his work. He is revealed as a crucial figure for emerging modernity, less the familiar empiricist innovator and more a proto-Nietzschean thinker. Walker's reading of Locke is finely attentive to the text and resourceful in placing the Essay in its broadest philosophical and historical context.

the2000words Writing Is Easy
ISBN: 9781291685596 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Rather than whinge about lack of time, paucity of ideas, or a deficit of talent, these authors set about writing their first book via the mechanism of a stupid game. Titles were set, turn about, and stories of about 2000 words were produced to fit each title. Some old bits of tat were used to bulk things out. Finally an extensive summer of fish pun texting was repurposed as the final sections. If you wish to argue with any of the fish puns then please join the Chub quarrel set.

Vanished Cities of Arabia
ISBN: 9780710309846 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 404 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Anyone coming from Europe with so much interest centring in the Middle Ages has to accustom the eyes to a new focus. It is as if he were to come from a well-kept garden to life in mid-ocean, stretching the eyes over a waste of waters. Everything is so old in the East; and being so old, is apt to be fragmentary. Civilizations come and go; nations have their rise, their period of prosperity, and then they disappear...
