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...

Presenting Poetry: Composition, Publication, Reception
ISBN: 9780521473606 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...

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.

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...

Locke, Literary Criticism, and Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521024747 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 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.

The Atterbury Plot
ISBN: 9781349391196 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Robert Walpole foiled the Atterbury Plot by preventive arrests and holding those he suspected illegally without bail or trial. When Parliament met and the Habeas Corpus Act was suspended, he used show trials, decided by votes along party lines and depending on forged evidence, to curb the Tory party, to reuinted the Whig party and to consolidate his hold on power. Rich in new material, this book unravels for the first time the scale and international dimension of a plot which posed the most serious challenge to the Hanoverian regime before the '45 rebellion.

Richardson's 'Clarissa' and the Eighteenth-Century Reader
ISBN: 9780521604406 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Written as a collection of letters in which very different accounts of the action are unsupervised by sustained authorial comment, Richardson's novel Clarissa offers an extreme example of the capacity of narrative to give the reader final responsibility for resolving or construing meaning. It is paradoxical then that its author was a writer committed to avowedly didactic goals. Tom Keymer counters the tendency of recent critics to suggest that Clarissa's textual indeterminacy defeats these goals by arguing that Richardson pursues subtler and more generous means of educating his readers by...

Defoe and the New Sciences
ISBN: 9780521024365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In his long career as a writer Daniel Defoe never tired of advocating the value of personal observation and experience; and he never wavered in his conviction that it is man's God-given duty to explore and make productive use of nature. In this first major study of Bacon's legacy to Defoe Ilse Vickers shows that the ideas and concepts of Baconian science were a significant influence on Defoe's way of thinking and writing. She outlines the seventeenth-century intellectual milieu, and discusses the prominence of Defoe's teacher Charles Morton among major Baconian thinkers of the century. She...

Swift's Parody
ISBN: 9780521024778 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Jonathan Swift's prose has been discussed extensively as satire, but its major structural element, parody, has not received the attention it deserves. Focusing mainly on works before 1714, and especially on A Tale of a Tub, this study explores Swift's writing primarily as parody. Robert Phiddian follows the constructions and deconstructions of textual authority through the texts on cultural-historical, biographical, and literary-theoretical levels. The historical interest lies in the occasions of the parodies: in their relations with the texts and discourses which they quote and distort, and...

The Rhetoric of Berkeley's Philosophy
ISBN: 9780521028035 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Whereas previous studies have made George Berkeley (1685-1753) the object of philosophical study, Peter Walmsley assesses Berkeley as a writer, offering rhetorical and literary analyses of Berkeley's four major philosophical texts, A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge, Three Dialogues Between Hylas and Philonous, Alciphron, and Siris. Berkeley emerges from this study as an accomplished stylist who builds structures of affective imagery, creates dramatic voices in his texts, and masters the range of philosophical genres--the treatise, the dialogue, and the essay.
