Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The fame of nineteenth-century Russian folklorist Aleksandr Afanas'ev is primarily based upon his work as a collector and editor of Russian folk tales.

It dedicates particular attention to one pagan Slavic deity of paramount importance Perun,...

This book the first full-length study of De mulieribus claris in English argues that it is essential to take into account the ideological complexities of early humanism confronted with the -woman question-. It seeks to unravel the difficulties of the text, looking at its genesis, sources, relations to other writings...

Hero-Ego in Search of Self: A Jungian Reading of Beowulf
ISBN: 9780820431154 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 123 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In Hero-Ego in Search of Self, Judy Anne White offers a perceptive explanation for continued interest in the Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf. Building upon the earlier work of Jeffery Helterman and John Miles Foley, she argues that the sum of all confrontations between hero and monster in Beowulf equals the process of individual psychological development identified by Carl Jung as individuation. Dr. White s study proposes that the hero s struggle is the universal struggle towards self-knowledge and that Beowulf thus resonates for the contemporary reader as it did for the poet s...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Beautiful ladies, dashing "chevaliers," injuries, and death; how were these part of the literary tournament?

Prophet Margins: The Medieval Vatic Impulse and Social Stability
ISBN: 9780820471075 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) While poets have traditionally inhabited cultural margins, prophets have brought poetic language to the center of cultural debate, not foretelling the future so much as diagnosing the present. This exciting collection of nine essays examines the range of social and political implications that inflects poetic discourse, from the Old English and Latin texts of the Anglo-Saxon world to the Scotland and England of the Renaissance. Whether saints lives, Germanic heroic epics, chronicles, or satiric poems, the works discussed in this book retain their verbal power, if not their political influence,...
