Virginia Woolf: The Common Ground : Essays by Gillian Beer
ISBN: 9780748608140 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 183 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) A collection of essays on the writings of Virginia Woolf, this study demonstrates how Woolf's conceptualizations of history and narrative are intimately bound up with her ways of thinking about women, writing and social and sexual relations. The author's approach has been to steer Woolf studies towards feminist historical concerns. This is demonstrated by precise, detailed configurations, setting Woolf texts alongside texts both contemporary and distant, scientific and literary, illuminating her writing in unexpected contexts.

ISBN: 9780226041506 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.

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...

In(ter)Discipline: New Languages for Criticism
ISBN: 9781905981137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) '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.

Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry
ISBN: 9780521604222 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.

Literature, Technology and Magical Thinking, 1880-1920
ISBN: 9780521801683 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Thurschwell examines the intersection of literary culture, the occult and new technology at the fin-de-siecle. 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.

Physiognomy and the Meaning of Expression in Nineteenth-Century Culture
ISBN: 9780521022422 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In Physiognomy and the Meaning of Expression in Nineteenth-Century Culture, Lucy Hartley examines the emergence of physiognomy as a form of popular science. Physiognomy posited an understanding of the inner meaning of human character from observations of physical appearances, usually facial expressions. Taking the physiognomical teachings of Johann Caspar Lavater as a starting-point, Hartley considers the extent to which attempts to read the mind and judge the character through expression can provide descriptions of human nature.

ISBN: 9780521025348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.

Testimony and Advocacy in Victorian Law, Literature, and Theology
ISBN: 9780521026352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This original and wide-ranging study shows how changing attitudes to evidence, trial and revelation in law and theology had a profound impact on literary narrative in the nineteenth century. Jan-Melissa Schramm, who is both a lawyer and a literary critic, argues that authors of fiction created a style of literary advocacy that both imitated, and reacted against, the example of their story-telling counterparts of the criminal Bar, and traces the ongoing debate over rules of evidence, eye-witness testimony and codes of ethical conduct that helped shape Victorian realism as a narrative form.
