ISBN: 9780226041506 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. In Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Lewis Carroll created fantastic worlds that continue to delight and trouble readers of all ages today. Few consider, however, that Carroll conceived his Alice books during the 1860s, a moment of intense intellectual upheaval, as new scientific, linguistic, educational, and mathematical ideas flourished around him and far beyond. Alice in Space reveals the contexts within which the Alice books first lived, bringing back the zest to jokes lost over time and poignancy to hidden references. Gillian Beer...

'Interdisciplinarity' has dynamized the Modern Humanities like no other recent academic trend. Yet, this presents serious challenges involving both translation and affect: how can we transmit facts and interpretations between disciplines, between different artistic media, between cultures, between the private and the public sphere? Some of the most distinctive voices in criticism from literature, music, the visual arts, psychoanalysis and philosophy, amongst others, show here their commitment to comparative thinking.

Literature, Technology and Magical Thinking, 1880-1920
ISBN: 9780521022439 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Thurschwell examines the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-siè cle. She argues that as new technologies, such as the telegraph and the telephone, began suffusing the public imagination from the mid-nineteenth century on, they seemed to support the claims of spiritualist mediums. Making unexpected connections between, for instance, speaking on the telephone and speaking to the dead, she examines how psychical research is reflected in the work of Henry James, George DuMaurier and Oscar Wilde among others.

Voice and the Victorian Storyteller
ISBN: 9780521851930 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The nineteenth-century novel has always been regarded as a literary form pre-eminently occupied with the written word, but Ivan Kreilkamp shows it was deeply marked by and engaged with vocal performances and the preservation and representation of speech. He offers a detailed account of the many ways Victorian literature and culture represented the human voice, from political speeches, governesses' tales, shorthand manuals, and staged authorial performances in the early- and mid-century, to mechanically reproducible voice at the end of the century. Through readings of Charlotte Bronte,...

Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry
ISBN: 9780521604222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Matthew Campbell explores the work of four Victorian poets--Tennyson, Browning, Hopkins and Hardy--in the context of their concern with questions of human agency and will. Through close study of meter, rhyme and rhythm, Campbell reveals how closely, for these poets, questions of poetics are related to issues of psychology, ethics and social change. He goes on to discuss more general questions of poetics, from Milton through Romanticism and into contemporary critical debate, making a major contribution to the current renewal of interest in formalist readings of poetry.

Dickens, Novel Reading, and the Victorian Popular Theatre
ISBN: 9780521026888 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this study Deborah Vlock shows that characters, dialogue, and plots from many of Charles Dickens' novels can be traced to the Victorian stage, and that contemporary readers and writers of fiction were strongly influenced by what they saw at the theater. Through an examination of theatrical and popular-cultural sources--including accounts of noted actors and actresses, and of popular theatrical characters of the time--Vlock uncovers unexpected precursors for some popular Dickensian characters, and throws new light on the conditions in which Dickens' novels were initially received.

ISBN: 9780521025348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines the representation of a variety of arts--primarily painting, theater, and music--within the work of major nineteenth-century novelists. It charts a historical progression, from Romantic poetry, through mid-century Realism, to Aestheticism, showing how authors used references to other forms of art to illuminate their own aesthetic ideals. Examining the aesthetic theory and cultural practice of different arts, Alison Byerly demonstrates the importance of artistic representation to the development of Victorian Realism.
