Poetry and the Realm of Politics: Shakespeare to Dryden
ISBN: 9780198117315 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a major study of the relation between poetry and politics in sixteenth and seventeenth-century English literature, focusing in particular on the works of Spenser, Shakespeare, Jonson, Milton, and Dryden. Taking issue with the traditional concept of the political poem and with recent New Historicist criticism, Erskine-Hill argues that the major tradition of political allusion is not, as has often been argued, that of the political allegory of Dryden's Absolom and Architophel and other overtly political poems, but rather a more shifting and less systematic practice, often involving...

Poetry of Opposition and Revolution: Dryden to Wordsworth
ISBN: 9780198121770 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a major study of the relation between poetry and politics from the 1688 Revolution to the early years of the nineteenth century, focusing in particular on the works of Dryden, Pope, Johnson, and Wordsworth. Building on his argument in Poetry and the Realm of Politics: Shakespeare to Dryden (also available from OUP), Erskine-Hill argues that the major tradition of political allusion is not, as has often been argued, that of political allegory and overtly political poems, but rather a more shifting and less systematic practice, often involving equivocal or multiple reference.

Presenting Poetry: Composition, Publication, Reception
ISBN: 9780521078924 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The presentation of poetry to auditor and reader involves a complex interaction of rhetorical, orthographical and visual mediating skills. At issue are the nature of "authority," the creation of a readership attuned to the writer's resonance, and a delicate negotiation between literary tradition and individual talent. Leading scholars focus on the presentation of major poetic texts from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, making comparisons across boundaries of generic form. The book includes consideration of the work of Spenser, Milton, Pope, Blake, Wordsworth, Browning, Yeats, and...

Alexander Pope: Selected Letters
ISBN: 9780198185659 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Pope's letters are fascinating documents, apart from his importance as a poet. Highly revealing of his remarkable character--ambitious, dangerous, trimming, ridiculous, intelligent, generous yet antagonistic--they also comprise a body of writing of extraordinary interest for an understanding of his times: its personalities, its plots, its tragedies and exiles, its loves, its scandals, the movement of its religious, political, and philosophical ideas, its sense of poetry, and its notions of poetic craft and genre. Moreover, Pope published a collection of his own letters: a selective and highly...

Finance Monsters: How Massive Unregulated Betting by a Small Group of Financiers Propelled the Mortgage Market Collapse Into a Global Fi
ISBN: 9781503012400 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What was the real reason for the worst financial crisis the world has seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s? Was the problem really subprime mortgages? Predatory lending? Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and government policy? Rating Agencies failing to do their job? Banks too big to fail? Or was it something else? Inside these pages, Howard B. Hill points to another reason why the financial gears of our global economy froze in 2008. As a Wall Street professional for over 25 years, Hill was one of the key individuals responsible for building the mortgage securitization market, and he...

A Game at Chess: Thomas Middleton (Revised)
ISBN: 9780719016349 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For many years Middleton's "A Game at Chess" was more notorious than read, considered rather a phenomenon of theatrical history than a pre-eminent piece of dramatic writing. "A Game at Chess" was a nine days' wonder, an exceptional play of King James' reign on account of its unprecedented representation of matters of state usually forbidden on the stage. The King's Men performed the play uninterruptedly between 5th and 14th August, 1624 at their Globe Theatre, attracting large audiences, before the Privy Council closed the theatre by the King's command. More recently, growing interest in the...

Shakespeare and Sir Thomas More: Essays on the Play and Its Shakespearian Interest
ISBN: 9780521123464 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Scholarly interest in The Book of Sir Thomas More has concentrated on the issue of Shakespeare's contribution to its revision. The play, which concerns the life of Sir Thomas More, was written in 1593 4, subjected to censorship by the Master of the Revels and revised by a group of playwrights which probably included Shakespeare. 148 lines have been claimed as Shakespeare's, and these were the focus of a collection of essays edited by A. W. Pollard in 1923. The range of topics in this volume is much wider than that of the 1923 collection, taking in the problems presented by the play as a...

Locke, Literary Criticism, and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521024747 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Walker's analysis of John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding offers a challenging and provocative assessment of Locke's importance as a thinker, bridging the gap between philosophical and literary-critical discussion of his work. He is revealed as a crucial figure for emerging modernity, less the familiar empiricist innovator and more a proto-Nietzschean thinker. Walker's reading of Locke is finely attentive to the text and resourceful in placing the Essay in its broadest philosophical and historical context.
