Literature and Favoritism in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780521854054 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For writers in the early modern period, thinking about royal favorites inevitably meant thinking about the uneasy intersection of the personal and the public in a political system traditionally organized around patronage and intimacy. Depictions of favoritism - in a variety of texts including plays, poems, libels, and pamphlets - explore the most fundamental ideological questions concerning personal monarchy and the early modern public sphere, questions about the nature and limits of prerogative and about the enfranchisement or otherwise of subjects. In this study, Curtis Perry examines the...

The Making of Jacobean Culture
ISBN: 9780521574068 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It is a critical commonplace to note sharp cultural differences between Elizabethan and Jacobean England. But how and why did this transition take place? What kinds of decisions and assumptions were involved as writers responded to the new king? How did residual Elizabethan expectations and habits of mind shape the English response to James I, and what were the consequences? How much control did James have over his reception? This study examines these questions in detail by exploring a wide range of texts written during the first decade of his reign in England, from 1603 to 1613.

Singapore: Unlikely Power
ISBN: 9780190469504 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Singapore has gained a reputation for being one of the wealthiest and best-educated countries in the world and one of the brightest success stories for a colony-turned-sovereign state, but the country's path to success was anything but assured. Its strategic location and natural resources both allowed Singapore to profit from global commerce and also made the island an attractive conquest for the world's naval powers, resulting in centuries of stunting colonialization.

Jack the Ripper and the London Press
ISBN: 9780300088724 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Press coverage of the 1888 mutilation murders attributed to Jack the Ripper was of necessity filled with gaps and silences, for the killer remained unknown and Victorian journalists had little experience reporting serial murders and sex crimes. This engrossing book examines how fifteen London newspapers - dailies and weeklies, highbrow and lowbrow - presented the Ripper news, in the process revealing much about the social, political, and sexual anxieties of late Victorian Britain and the role of journalists in reinforcing social norms. L. Perry Curtis surveys the mass newspaper culture of the...

Shakespeare and the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780199558179 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Shakespeare and the Middle Ages brings together a distinguished, multidisciplinary group of scholars to rethink the medieval origins of modernity. Shakespeare provides them with the perfect focus, since his works turn back to the Middle Ages as decisively as they anticipate the modern world: almost all of the histories depict events during the Hundred Years War, and King John glances even further back to the thirteenth-century Angevins; several of the comedies, tragedies, and romances rest on medieval sources; and there are important medieval antecedents for some of the poetic modes in which...
