Romanticism and Animal Rights
ISBN: 9780521829410 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Demonstrating how English Romantic writing took up issues of what we now call animal rights, this study joins the growing number of studies that seek precedents or affinities in English Romanticism for ecological concerns. An unprecedented amount of writing advocated kindness to animals in England during the second half of the eighteenth century. This theme was carried through many genres, from sermons to encyclopedias, scientific works to literature for children, and to the poetry of Cowper, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Clare and others.

Religion, Toleration, and British Writing, 1790-1830
ISBN: 9780521021586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mark Canuel examines the way that Romantic poets, novelists and political writers criticized the traditional religious conformity of British political unity. Canuel reveals how writers (including Jeremy Bentham, Ann Radcliffe, Maria Edgeworth and Lord Byron) undermined the validity of religion in the British state, and envisioned a tolerant and more organized mode of social inclusion and protection. He asserts that these writers considered their works to be political and literary commentaries on religious toleration.

Romantic Poets and the Culture of Posterity
ISBN: 9780521026895 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This 1999 book examines the way in which the Romantic period's culture of posterity inaugurates a tradition of writing which demands that the poet should write for an audience of the future: the true poet, a figure of neglected genius, can be properly appreciated only after death. Andrew Bennett argues that this involves a radical shift in the conceptualization of the poet and poetic reception, with wide-ranging implications for the poetry and poetics of the Romantic period. He surveys the contexts for this transformation of the relationship between poet and audience, engaging with issues...

Rousseau, Robespierre and English Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521020398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reopens the question of Rousseau's influence on the French Revolution and on English Romanticism, by examining the relationship between his confessional writings and his political theory. Gregory Dart argues that by looking at the way in which Rousseau's writings were mediated by the speeches and actions of Robespierre, we can gain a clearer and more concrete sense of the legacy he left to English writers. He shows how the writings of Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Wordsworth and Hazlitt rehearse and reflect upon the Jacobin tradition in the aftermath of the Terror.

Fatal Women of Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521816687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Incarnations of fatal women, or femmes fatales, recur throughout the works of women writers in the Romantic period. Adriana Craciun demonstrates how portrayals of femmes fatales played an important role in the development of Romantic women's poetic identities and affected their exploration of issues surrounding the body, sexuality and politics. Craciun covers a wide range of writers and genres from the 1790s through the 1830s and discusses the work of such well-known figures as Mary Wollstonecraft, as well as lesser-known writers like Anne Bannerman. This examination of women writers' fatal...

Wordsworth and the Geologists
ISBN: 9780521020909 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Examination of the links between literary history and science provides valuable new insights for scholars across a range of disciplines. John Wyatt explores the unexpectedly close relationship between William Wordsworth and a group of scientists in the formative years of the new science of geology. Wyatt's study of this personal and intellectual friendship challenges the simplistic opposition between Romantic-literary and scientific-materialist cultures, and shows how discourses were affected by the network of influences between poetry and geology.

Lyric and Labour in the Romantic Tradition
ISBN: 9780521022965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the legacy of Romantic poetics in the poetry produced in political movements during the nineteenth century. It argues that a communitarian tradition of poetry extending from the 1790s to William Morris in the 1890s learned from and incorporated elements of Romantic lyricism, and produced an ongoing and self-conscious tradition of radical poetics. The book includes new readings of familiar Romantic poets including Wordsworth and Shelley, and provides case studies of relatively unknown Chartist and Republican poets such as Ernest Jones and W.J. Linton.

ISBN: 9780521812412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jane Stabler presents this examination of Byron's poetic form in relationship to historical debates of his time. Responding to recent studies in the Romantic period, Stabler asserts that Byron's poetics developed in response to contemporary cultural history and his reception by the English reading public. Drawing on new research, she traces the complexity of the intertextual dialogues that run through his work.

Literary Magazines and British Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521032025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this study, Mark Parker argues that magazines such as the London Magazine and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work--indeed, magazines became one of the preeminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examining the dynamic relationship between literature and culture that evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concerns that give subtle inflection to its meaning.

Mary Wollstonecraft and the Feminist Imagination
ISBN: 9780521661447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the two centuries since Mary Wollstonecraft published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), she has become western feminism's leading icon, a stature that has obscured her actual historic significance. Examining in detail Wollstonecraft's writings, Barbara Taylor provides an alternative reading of her as a writer steeped in the utopianism of Britain's radical Enlightenment. Her feminist principles are shown to have arisen within a revolutionary program for universal equality and moral perfection that reached its zenith during the political upheavals of the 1790s but had its roots in...

The Rise of Supernatural Fiction, 1762-1800
ISBN: 9780521664585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A genre of supernatural fiction was among the more improbable products of the Age of Enlightenment. This book questions the historical reasons for its growing popularity in the late eighteenth century. Beginning with the notorious case of the Cock Lane ghost, a performing poltergeist who became a major attraction in London in 1762, and with Garrick's spellbinding and paradigmatic performance as the ghost-seeing Hamlet, it moves on to look at the Gothic novels of Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, M. G. Lewis, and others, in unexpected new lights, drawing out the connection between fictions of the...

Women Travel Writers and the Language of Aesthetics, 1716-1818
ISBN: 9780521607100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. British readers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries eagerly consumed books of travel in an age of imperial expansion that was also the formative period of modern aesthetics. Beauty, sublimity, sensuous surfaces, and scenic views became conventions of travel writing as Britons applied familiar terms to unfamiliar places around the globe. The social logic of aesthetics, argues Elizabeth Bohls, constructed women, the labouring classes, and non-Europeans as foils against which to define the 'man of taste' as an educated, property-owning gentleman. Women writers from Mary Wortley...

British Fiction and the Production of Social Order, 1740-1830
ISBN: 9780521023337 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In British Fiction and the Production of Social Order, Miranda Burgess examines what Romantic-period writers called "romance." Reading a broad range of fictional and nonfictional works published between 1740 and 1830, Burgess places authors such as Richardson, Scott, Austen and Wollstonecraft in a new economic, social, and cultural context. She argues that the romance held a key role in remaking the national order of a Britain dependent on ideologies of human nature for justification of its social, economic, and political systems.

Reinventing Allegory
ISBN: 9780521432078 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Reinventing Allegory asks how and why allegory has survived as a literary mode from the late Renaissance to the postmodern present. Three chapters on Romanticism, including one on the painter J.M.W. Turner, present this era as the pivotal moment in allegory's modern survival, while other chapters describe larger historical and philosophical contexts, from classical rhetoric to recent theory and metafiction. Using a series of key historical moments to define the special character of modern allegory, this study assesses allegory's role in comtemporary literary culture.

Poetry as an Occupation and an Art in Britain, 1760-1830
ISBN: 9780521020862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Peter Murphy's book examines the tension between the material, economic pressures motivating poetry as an occupation, and traditional notions of the forces of literary history defining poetry as an art. It focuses on five writers in the Romantic period: James MacPherson, Robert Burns, James Hogg, Walter Scott, and William Wordsworth. The first four are Scottish; the economic and linguistic status of Scotland during the period makes its writers especially interesting as examples of poetic ambition. Murphy's study then crosses the border into England, offering a new perspective on Wordsworth's...

Romanticism, Aesthetics, and Nationalism
ISBN: 9780521022682 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This ambitious and original study explores the connections between aesthetic theory and political theory from the era of Romanticism to the twentieth century. David Kaiser traces these ideas through Schiller and Coleridge, Arnold, Mill and Ruskin, to Adorno and Habermas. He analyzes the problems that contemporary literary theory faces in attempting to connect the aesthetic and political spheres, and suggests that we rethink the aesthetic sphere in order to regain that connection.
