Tricksters & Estates: On the Ideology of Restoration Comedy
ISBN: 9780813120126 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. If the Renaissance was the Golden Age of English comedy, the Restoration was the Silver. These comedies are full of tricksters attempting to gain estates, the emblem and the reality of power in late feudal England. The tricksters appear in a number of guises, such as heroines landing their men, younger brothers seeking estates, or Cavaliers threatened with dispossession. The hybrid nature of these plays has long posed problems for critics, and few studies have attempted to deal with their diversity in a comprehensive way. Now one of the leading scholars of Restoration drama offers a... If the Renaissance was the Golden Age of English comedy, the Restoration was the Silver.

Mavericks on the Border
ISBN: 9780813121802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century authors and filmmakers have created a pantheon of mavericks -- some macho, others angst-ridden -- who often cross a metaphorical boundary among the literal ones of Anglo, Native American, and Hispanic cultures. Douglas Canfield examines the concept of borders, defining them as the space between states and cultures and ideologies, and focuses on these border crossings as a key feature of novels and films about the region. Canfield begins in the Old Southwest of Faulkner's Mississippi, addressing the problem of slavery; travels west to North Texas and the infamous...

Heroes & States: On the Ideology of Restoration Tragedy
ISBN: 9780813121253 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. To understand the cultural history of England during the Restoration, one need look no further than the theater, which was attended by the gentry as well as by members of the middle and lower classes. The theater of this period embodied the values, meanings, and power relations of Restoration England. In Heroes and States, Douglas Canfield argues that drama not only represents but actually helps constitute the value and belief systems of an entire culture. Heroes and States completes Canfield's two-volume cultural history of Restoration drama, begun in Tricksters...

Word as Bond in English Literature from the Middle Ages to the Restoration
ISBN: 9780812281620 / Angielski / Twarda / 1989 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For centuries, the transmission of power in feudal European society depended on a code of fidelity, of political allegiance, and truth to one's word. The word as bond extended to include not only the pledge of allegiance between subject and king, but the troth-plight between lovers, the vow of friendship, and the judicial oath. Society was ultimately based upon a gentleman's or gentlewoman's word that was itself underwritten by the Word of God. J. Douglas Canfield argues that English literature of the feudal epoch placed this master trope of word as bond at the center of conflict....

Cultural Readings of Restoration and Eighteenth-Century English Theater
ISBN: 9780820337890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ranging in approach from feminist to historicist, the eleven essays in this collection share the culturalist premise that the drama of late Stuart and early Georgian England helped to constitute the dominant ideology of the period. The contributors' varied approaches allow for the reconsideration of libertinism, the politics of sexual desire, and other classic issues, as well as such newer concerns as the social construction of the first English actresses, empiricism as an emergent epistemological discourse, cultural anxiety about novelty and repetition, and shifting tropes of inherent...
