The Mutable Glass: Mirror-Imagery in Titles and Texts of the Middle Ages and English Renaissance
ISBN: 9780521129923 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This 1982 book was the first major and comprehensive survey of mirror-imagery to be found in medieval book-titles and English literature from the thirteenth to the end of the seventeenth century. Working within the tradition of the historical study of metaphor as developed by E. R. Curtius, Professor Grabes not only traces the shifting historical usages of the mirror (as the metaphor's 'vehicle') but also studies the metaphor's structural function in individual works. At the same time, the author addresses himself to the aesthetic problem of originality in literature, and, by investigating...

Making Strange: Beauty, Sublimity, and the (Post) Modern ‘Third Aesthetic’
ISBN: 9789042024335 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This compact, indispensable overview answers a vexed question: Why do so many works of modern and postmodern literature and art seem designed to appear 'strange', and how can they still cause pleasure in the beholder? To help overcome the initial barrier caused by this 'strangeness', the general reader is given an initial, non-technical description of the 'aesthetic of the strange' as it is experienced in the reading or viewing process. There follows a broad survey of modern and postmodern trends, illustrating their staggering variety and making plain the manifold methods and strategies...

Writing the Early Modern English Nation: The Transformation of National Identity in Sixteenth- and Seventeenth-Century England
ISBN: 9789042015258 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 199 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While there is overwhelming evidence that nationalism reached its peak in the later nineteenth century, views about when precisely national thinking and sentiment became strong enough to override all other forms of collective unity differ considerably. When one looks for the historical moment when the concept of the nation became a serious - and subsequently victorious - competitor to the monarchic dynasty as the most effective principle of collective unity, one must, at least for England, go back as far as the sixteenth century. The decisive change occurred when a split between the dynastic...
