What Is Pastoral?
ISBN: 9780226015170 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Poetry of the Faerie Queene
ISBN: 9780691622866 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Professor Alpers argues that Spenser's purpose in The Faerie Queene was not to create a fictional world or to imitate action, but to create and manipulate the reader's response.

Part I is an examination of the technical poetic devices Spenser used to develop the reader's response to the action of the poem. Part II concerns interpretation, iconography, and source material. Part III draws on the arguments and conclusions of the...
