ISBN: 9780521112604 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. New plays and operas have often tried to upset the status quo or disturb the assumptions of theatre audiences. Yet, as this study explores, the reactions of the audience or of the authorities are often more extreme than the creators had envisaged, to include outrage, riots, protests or censorship. Scandal on Stage looks at ten famous theater scandals of the past two centuries in Germany and France as symptoms of contemporary social, political, ethical, and aesthetic upheavals. The writers and composers concerned, including Schiller, Stravinsky, Strauss, Brecht and Weil, portrayed new artistic...

The Sin of Knowledge: Ancient Themes and Modern Variations
ISBN: 9780691050652 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Adam, Prometheus, and Faust--their stories were central to the formation of Western consciousness and continue to be timely cautionary tales in an age driven by information and technology. Here Theodore Ziolkowski explores how each myth represents a response on the part of ancient Hebrew, ancient Greek, and sixteenth-century Christian culture to the problem of knowledge, particularly humankind's powerful, perennial, and sometimes unethical desire for it. This book exposes for the first time the similarities underlying these myths as well as their origins in earlier trickster legends, and...

ISBN: 9780801442025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "It is not sufficiently appreciated, I believe, how profoundly Clio, the muse of history, permeated every aspect of thought during the Romantic era: philosophy, theology, law, natural science, medicine, and all other fields of intellectual endeavor. . . . Thoughtful students of the period well understand that 'Romanticism' is not merely a literary or aesthetic movement but, rather, a general climate of opinion." from the IntroductionIn a book certain to be of interest to readers in many disciplines, the distinguished scholar Theodore Ziolkowski shows how a strong impulse toward historical...

Hagiography and Modern Russian Literature
ISBN: 9780691633701 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The heritage of medieval hagiography, the diverse and voluminous literature devoted to saints, was much more important in nineteenth-century Russia than is often recognized. Although scholars have treated examples of the influence of hagiographic writing on a few prominent Russian writers, Margaret Ziolkowski is the first to describe the vast extent of its impact. Some of the authors she discusses are Kondratii Ryleev, Aleksandr Bestuzhev-Marlinskii, Fedor Dostoevsky, Leo Tolstoy, Nikolai Leskov, Gleb Uspenskii, Dmitrii Merezhkovskii, and Maksimilian Voloshin. Such writers were often... The heritage of medieval hagiography, the diverse and voluminous literature devoted to saints, was much more important in nineteenth-century Russia... |

Soviet Heroic Poetry in Context: Folklore or Fakelore
ISBN: 9781611496512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Soviet Heroic Poetry in Context discusses key issues surrounding the composition and recording of folklore as well as its often intensely political aspect and its preoccupation with chimerical cultural authority. These issues are dramatically displayed in Soviet epic compositions of the 1930s and 1940s, the so-called noviny (-new songs-), which took their formal inspiration largely from traditional Russian epic songs, byliny (-songs of the past-), and their narrative content from contemporary, political, and other events in Stalinist Russia. The story of the noviny is at once complex and...

ISBN: 9781555409050 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reexamines the meaning and significance of the first World's Parliament of Religions and its impact on the development of the academic study of religion. Held in Chicago in 1893, the Parliament attracted the participation of religious leaders from different faiths and a smaller number of academics who studied religion from what they called "scientific" perspectives. Following an introduction by the editor, the essays are organized into three sections. Part I reissues six papers on comparative religion from the Parliament's original proceedings. Part II contains two articles, both...

Evil Children in Religion, Literature, and Art
ISBN: 9780333918951 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Evil Children in Religion, Literature and Art explores the genesis, development, and religious significance of a literary and iconographic motif, involving a gang of urchins, usually male, who mock or assault a holy or eccentric person, typically an adult. Originating in the biblical tale of Elisha's mockery (2 Kings 2.23-24), this motif recurs in literature, hagiography, and art, from antiquity up to our own time, strikingly defying the conventional Judeo-Christian and Romantic image of the child as a symbol of innocence.
