«Will You Tell Me «Any Thing» about Yourself?»: Co-Memorative Essays on Herman Melville's «Bartleby the Scrivener»
ISBN: 9783631587058 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. There is no record of anything Herman Melville (1819 1891) may have thought or said about -Bartleby the Scrivener. A Story of Wall-Street-, his single most famous tale, published just over 150 years ago today. It is actually for a whole gamut of reasons that the text is unlikely to ever yield an interpretive consensus gentium, the insights of such magisterial figures as F.O. Matthiessen, Ralph Ellison, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, or Slavoj i ek notwithstanding. The volume adds to the nearly global Bartleby Industry with contributions by Andrzej Kopcewicz (Poznan), Joseph Kuhn (Poznan),...
