Enigmatic Bliss: The Paradise Motif in Literature
ISBN: 9780820430027 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) What power has assured the continual fascination of writers with paradise? This book suggests that the answer lies in the complex, dynamic, and enigmatic roles offered by adopting paradise as a literary motif. Once it has shifted from myth to a flexible component of literary texts, it builds diverse significations and contexts into a recognizable literary construct and then plays these against each other in a fluid series of ambiguities and enigmas. This process encourages ever new contextualizations of paradise in response to changing cultural, technological, and social conditions.

John Barth and Postmodernism: Spatiality, Travel, Montage

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) John Barth s eminence as a postmodernist is indisputable. However, much of the criticism dealing with his work is prompted by his own theories of -exhaustion- and subsequent -replenishment, - leaving his writing relatively untouched by theories of postmodernism in general. This book changes that by focusing on the relationship between Barth s aesthetic and the ideology critique of the historical avant-gardes, which were the first to mobilize art against itself and its institutional practices and demands. Examining Barth s metafictional parodies in the light of theories of space and...

The Moral World of «Billy Budd»

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Moral World of Billy Budd sees the novel not as inviting us to choose between the testament of acceptance and the testament of resistance, those views that, respectively, support and critique Captain Vere but rather as challenging us to experience the difficulty of making decisions in the world. The first part is devoted to an intensive examination of the evolution of the two testaments, including analyses of the three book-length studies of the novel, climaxing with Wenke s argument that the Genetic Text shows the novel s active pursuit of ambiguity. The second part analyzes the...

Folklore in British Literature; Naming and Narrating in Women's Fiction, 1750-1880
ISBN: 9780820463407 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Folklore provides a metaphor for insecurity in British women s writing published between 1750 and 1880. When characters feel uneasy about separations between races, classes, or sexes, they speak of mermaids and -Cinderella- to make threatening women unreal and thus harmless. Because supernatural creatures change constantly, a name or story from folklore merely reinforces fears about empire, labor, and desire. To illustrate these fascinating rhetorical strategies, this book explores works by Sarah Fielding, Ann Radcliffe, Sydney Owenson, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Anne Thackeray, and Jean...

Rainer Maria Rilke: The Poet's Trajectory

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Influenced by Hegel and Nietzsche, and inspired by stays in Italy and France, as well as travels to Russia, Spain, and North Africa, Rainer Maria Rilke nevertheless sought desperately to be original. He rejected all -idees recues, - whether they were of God, reality, or literature, instead creating his own absolute. He searched for the -real, - re-formed German poetry, and revolutionized Western narrative prose with Malte Laurids Brigge. While Rilke s work is marked by two cesuras, after which it displays important advances in diction and the figuration of verbal icons, it becomes ever more...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Metamorphosis and the Emergence of the Feminine: A Motif of -Difference- in Women's Writing examines a motif of metamorphosis that follows the models of self-awareness proposed in several feminist theories.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The phantasmagoric short stories and satirical novellas of the Russian modernist Sigizmund Kr i anovskij (1887-1950) are a unique amalgam of verbal pyrotechnics, scientific erudition, and philosophical contemplation. This book examines how the raw materials of Russian byt are transformed through Kr i anovskij s ironic wit and rich imagination. Affinities with the theories of his Russian Formalist and Futurist contemporaries are revealed in Kr i anovskij s use of literary devices to generate the themes of his experimental prose. It demonstrates how paranomasia and other types of pun...
