The Influence of Text Type on Word Order of Old Germanic Languages: A Corpus-Based Contrastive Study of Old English and Old High German
ISBN: 9783631613153 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book examines the word order of two Old Germanic languages, Old English and Old High German, using a corpus containing samples of three text types: poetry, original prose and translated prose.

The book...

The Beginnings of Standardization: Language and Culture in Fourteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9783631551066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Developing a written standard is one of the most fundamental institutional achievements of a society. On the threshold to the Modern Era the vernaculars massively gained ground in writing throughout Western Europe. They soon underwent regularization and eventually standardization. In England, however, the situation was quite different from that of the continent: well into the 14th century the literate space was filled mainly by Latin and French. For a long time Chaucer has been regarded as having brought about the victory of English. But recent research calls for a broader perspective...

ISBN: 9783631550571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Since Jeffrey Jerome Cohen edited The Postcolonial Middle Ages in 2000, some scholars have applied postcolonial criticism to the study of the Middle Ages.

Using postcolonial theory, the author explores how Chaucer represents non-European women, his Others both in gender and in culture. Her examination of non-European women in his work from a non-Westerner s point of view reveals that his representation is complicated and ambivalent, showing diverse views. The...

Robert Lowell: Uncomfortable Epigone of the Grands Maîtres

The author finds in it a sustained, if erratic, effort to move beyond the high-modernist paradigm. The book begins by exploring the aesthetic and ethical dilemmas the poet was confronted with at the start of his career, dilemmas which were only temporarily resolved in the deceptive mode of confessionalism. Incorporating some material from the poet s unpublished manuscripts, the author argues that the late Lowell seeks a poetic mode that would be both more public and...
