Colonial Voices
ISBN: 9781952799242 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Ever since the nineteenth-century the imperial romance has been understood, on some level, not merely as a self-evident genre of adventure capable of producing an aesthetic experience but as a political construction of ideological identifications and exclusions.

John Trevena
ISBN: 9781952799419 / Francuski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Ernest George Henham (1870-1948), writing both under his own name and with the pseudonym of "John Trevena," has until now been a "lost" writer, yet of remarkable achievement; indeed, he is a writer of greater range and power than any other West Country author with the possible exception of the more celebrated Thomas Hardy-who remains very much in print. Nevertheless, Henham/ Trevena also is surely a masterful English language novelist and a cultural figure of courage and vision, responding to social, political, and religious change with insight and contestation. As the first book-length...
