Language of Gender and Class: Transformation in the Victorian Novel
ISBN: 9780415082228 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work examines in detail the widely accepted critical cliche examining the representation of gender always involves investigating the representation of class. Using historical material about class, it re-examines six major Victorian novels. Focusing upon language, the text explores how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the social order. The author argues that none of the novelists considered, either male or female, completely accepts either the stereotyped figures or the authorized story. The figures of the angel and the whore are reassessed and modified...

Mary, Michael & Lucifer: Folk Catholicism in Central Mexico
ISBN: 9780292751101 / Angielski / Miękka / 1986 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The physical signs of Roman Catholicism pervade the Mexican countryside. Colonial churches and neighborhood chapels, wayside shrines, and mountaintop crosses dot the landscape. Catholicism also permeates the traditional cultures of rural communities, although this ideational influence is less immediately obvious. It is often couched in enigmatic idiom and imagery, and it is further obscured by the vestiges of pagan customs and the anticlerical attitudes of many villagers. These heterodox tendencies have even led some observers to conclude that Catholicism in rural Mexico is little more... The physical signs of Roman Catholicism pervade the Mexican countryside.

Language of Gender and Class: Transformation in the Victorian Novel
ISBN: 9780415082211 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Language of Gender and Class challenges widely-held assumptions about the study of the Victorian novel. Lucid, multilayered and cogently argued, this volume will provoke debate and encourage students and scholars to rethink their views on ninteenth-century literature.
Examining six novels, Patricia Ingham demonstrates that none of the writers, male or female, easily accept stereotypes of gender and class. The classic figures of Angel and Whore are reassessed and modified. And the result, argues Ingham, is that the treatment of gender by the late nineteenth century is released...

The Function of Physical Space in the Cuban Novel of the 1950s
ISBN: 9783846504253 / Angielski / Miękka / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Long overshadowed by the subsequent 1960s Boom , Cuban novels of the 1950s have been confined to the backwater of literary analysis, often grouped together and dismissed as mere social realism like their Spanish counterparts, or described as inferior. The spatial has been similarly overlooked in literary analysis in favour of a focus on stylistic experimentation, narrative structure, characterisation and the temporal. More recently, however, theorists have argued that literature has become increasingly spatial, and that a greater focus on the spatial is needed. Furthermore, conceptions of...
