C. Day-Lewis: The Golden Bridle: Selected Prose
ISBN: 9780198766117 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. C. Day-Lewis was a major figure in British poetry and culture from the 1930s until his death in 1972. The Golden Bridle: Selected Prose takes its title from the myth of Bellerophon and the golden bridle of Pegasus, which Day-Lewis invoked on several occasions as a metaphor for the creative process. Day-Lewis as poet is, then, the organizing idea of this anthology, and the selections indicate the scope and range of his vital engagement with English life and letters. Organised into four parts, the volume illustrates Day-Lewis's reflections on the role and function of poetry in...

Peirce and Theology: Essays in the Authentication of Doctrine
ISBN: 9780761819776 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The author of this study invokes Peirce's logic in order to clarify the operational procedures of dialectic, foundational, and doctrinal theology. He argues that Peirce's theory of the normative sciences casts light on three forms of conversion: affective, intellectual, and moral conversion. From a normative account of the dynamics of five forms of conversion, he derives specific criteria for authenticating and calling into question both doctrinal statements about the content of religious faith and different theories of theological method. The third and final chapter tests the adequacy of the...

Paying the Human Costs of War: American Public Opinion and Casualties in Military Conflicts
ISBN: 9780691139081 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. From the Korean War to the current conflict in Iraq, Paying the Human Costs of War examines the ways in which the American public decides whether to support the use of military force. Contrary to the conventional view, the authors demonstrate that the public does not respond reflexively and solely to the number of casualties in a conflict. Instead, the book argues that the public makes reasoned and reasonable cost-benefit calculations for their continued support of a war based on the justifications for it and the likelihood it will succeed, along with the costs that have been...

ISBN: 9780521345330 / Angielski / Twarda / 1988 / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book Professor Gelpi traces the emergence of American Modernist poetry as a reaction to, and outgrowth of, the Romantic ideology of the nineteenth century. He focuses on the remarkable generation of poets who came to maturity in the years of the First World War and whose works constitute the principal body of poetic Modernism in English. This large historical argument is developed through monographic chapters on the poets which include close readings of their major poems. Comprehensive in scope and subtle in its analysis, Gelpi's book promises to be one of the major studies of...

The Power of Legitimacy: Assessing the Role of Norms in Crisis Bargaining
ISBN: 9780691146713 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. A major departure from mainstream security studies, this book mounts a thoughtful challenge to realist theories of crisis bargaining. It tests the proposition that normative standards of behavior influence state actions in security-related conflicts. Specifically, it examines the construction of bilateral norms as the settlements of security-related disputes and the effects these settlements have on subsequent interactions over the same issue. Drawing on institutionalist arguments about the informational impact of norms, Christopher Gelpi contends that norms act as signals that give...

The Tenth Muse: The Psyche of the American Poet
ISBN: 9780521424011 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In The Tenth Muse, Albert Gelpi asks the hard questions about how poetry can take on for itself the problems of shaping American identities and argues that the conditions of American life and culture have pushed our major poets into a debate between intellect and passion. Gelpi provides thorough readings of major American poets from Bradstreet and Taylor up to the modernists, often using contemporary poets (Rich, Ginsberg, Duncan) as frames for those predecessors. Originally published in 1975 in hardcover only by Harvard University Press

American Poetry After Modernism: The Power of the Word
ISBN: 9781107025240 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Albert Gelpi's American Poetry after Modernism is a study of major poets of the postwar period from Robert Lowell and Adrienne Rich through the Language poets. He argues that what distinguishes American poetry from the British tradition is, paradoxically, the lack of a tradition; as a result, each poet has to ask fundamental questions about the role of the poet and the nature of the medium, has to invent a language and form for his or her purposes. Exploring this paradox through detailed critical readings of the work of fourteen poets, Gelpi presents an original and insightful argument about...

Living in Time: The Poetry of C. Day Lewis
ISBN: 9780195098631 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Oxford poets of the 1930s--W. H. Auden, C. Day Lewis, Stephen Spender, and Louis MacNeice--represented the first concerted British challenge to the domination of twentieth-century poetry by the innovations of American modernists such as Ezra Pound and William Carlos Williams. Known for their radical politics and aesthetic conservatism, the "Auden Generation" has come to loom large in our map of twentieth century literary history. Yet Auden's voluble domination of the group in its brief period of association, and Auden's sway with critics ever since, has made it difficult to hear the...
