Politics and Literature at the Dawn of World War II
ISBN: 9781350324954 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mining the borderlands where history meets literature in Britain and Europe as well as America, this book shows how the imminence and outbreak of World War II ignited the imaginations of writers ranging from Ernest Hemingway, W.H. Auden, and James Joyce to Bertolt Brecht, Evelyn Waugh, Henry Green, and Irène Némirovsky. Taking its cue from Percy Shelley’s dictum that great writers are to some extent created by the age in which they live, this book shows how much the politics and warfare of the years from 1939 to 1941 drove the literature of this period. Its novels, poems, and plays...

Representing the French Revolution
ISBN: 9780874515862 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Why is the anniversary of the French Revolution celebrated on July 14, the day the Bastille was stormed, rather than on August 26, the day the Declaration of the Rights of Man was signed? Why don't the French do as the Americans, who see their revolution epitomized by the signing of the Declaration of Independence? "There is surely something to be learned from contemplating the difference between these two ways of representing a revolution," writes James Heffernan. In this volume, he and 13 other distinguished scholars consider representations of the French Revolution in literature,...

Cultivating Picturacy: Visual Art and Verbal Interventions
ISBN: 9781932792416 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 437 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Though English has no word for the visual counterpart to literacy, Heffernan argues that the capacity to interpret pictures must be cultivated and deserves a name: picturacy. Using examples such as the pre-historic cave paintings of Lascaux, film versions of Frankenstein, the provocative photographs of Sally Mann, and the abstract canvases of Gerhard Richter, the volume illustrates how learning to decode the language of pictures resembles the process of learning to read. While words typically frame and regulate our experience of art, the study also explains how pictures can contest...

Hospitality and Treachery in Western Literature
ISBN: 9780300195583 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In works of Western literature ranging from Homer's Odyssey to Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? the giving and taking of hospitality is sometimes pleasurable, but more often perilous. Heffernan traces this leitmotiv through the history of our greatest writings, including Christ's Last Supper, Macbeth's murder of his royal guest, and Camus's short story on French colonialism in Arab Algeria. By means of such examples and many more, this book considers what literary hosts, hostesses, and guests do to as well as for each other. In doing so, it shows how often...

Museum of Words: The Poetics of Ekphrasis from Homer to Ashbery
ISBN: 9780226323145 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Ekphrasis is the art of describing works of art, the verbal representation of visual representation. Profoundly ambivalent, ekphrastic poetry celebrates the power of the silent image even as it tries to circumscribe that power with the authority of the word. Over the ages its practitioners have created a museum of words about real and imaginary paintings and sculptures.
In the first book ever to explore this museum, James Heffernan argues that ekphrasis stages a battle for mastery between the image and the word. Moving from the epics of Homer, Virgil, and Dante to contemporary American... Ekphrasis is the art of describing works of art, the verbal representation of visual representation.
