The Victorian Comic Spirit: New Perspectives
ISBN: 9781138701069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This title was first published in 2000: "Comedy" and "humour" are not words most associate with the Victorian period, yet their culture was rife with laughter and irony. The 12 essays in this volume reanimate this "comic spirit" by exploring the humour in its social context. While previous studies of humour in the period focus on the age's own ongoing interest in the old distinction in comic theory between wit and humour, this volume aims to show how inadequate this distinction is in accounting for the many types of Victorian comic representation. The essays turn from linguistic or...

Postmodern Utopias and Feminist Fictions
ISBN: 9781107038356 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study examines feminist speculative fiction from the late twentieth- and early twenty-first century, and finds within it a new vision for the future. Rejecting notions of postmodern utopia as exclusionary, Jennifer A. Wagner-Lawlor advances one defined in terms of hospitality, casting what she calls -imaginative sympathy- as the foundation of utopian desire. Tracing these themes through the works of Atwood, Butler, Lessing, and Winterson, as well as those of well-known Muslim feminists such as El Saadawi, Parsipur, and Mernissi, Wagner-Lawlor balances literary analysis with innovative...
