Imagining the King's Death: Figurative Treason, Fantasies of Regicide, 1793-1796
ISBN: 9780198112921 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 760 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is high treason in British law to imagine the king's death. But after the execution of Louis XVI in 1793, everyone in Britain must have found themselves imagining that the same fate might befall George III. How easy was it to distinguish between fantasising about the death of George and imagining it, in the legal sense of intending or designing? John Barrell examines this question in the context of the political trials of the mid-1790s and the controversies they generated. He shows how the law of treason was adapted in the years following Louis's death to punish what was acknowledged to be...

The Dark Side of the Landscape: The Rural Poor in English Painting 1730-1840
ISBN: 9780521276559 / Angielski / Miękka / 1983 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The eighteenth-century saw a radical change in the depiction of country life in English painting: feeling less constrained by the conventions of classical or theatrical pastoral, landscape painters attempted to offer a portrayal of what life was really like, or was thought to be like, in England; and this inevitably involved a distinct approach to the depiction of the rural poor. John Barrell's influential 1980 study shows why the poor began to be of such interest to painters, and examines the ways in which they could be represented so as to be an acceptable part of the decor of the salons of...

The Spirit of Despotism: Invasions of Privacy in the 1790s
ISBN: 9780199281206 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How was the social and cultural life of Britain affected by the fear that the French Revolution would spread across the channel? In this brilliant, engagingly written, and profusely illustrated book, John Barrell, well-known for his studies of the history, literature, and art of the period, argues that the conflict between the ancien regime in Britain and the emerging democratic movement was so fundamental that it could not be contained within what had previously been thought of as the "normal" arena of politics. Activities and spaces which had previously been regarded as "outside" politics...

The Infection of Thomas de Quincey: A Psychopathology of Imperialism
ISBN: 9780300049329 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas De Quincey, best known for his book Confessions of an English Opium Eater, was a journalist and propagandist of Empire, of oriental aggression, and of racial paranoia. The greater part of the fourteen volumes of his collected writings concerns the history, the colonial development, and increasingly the threat presented by the Orient in all its manifestations--human, animal, and microbiological. This remarkable book, which is an account of De Quincey's fears of all things oriental, is also an extraordinary analysis of the psychopathology of mid-Victorian imperialist culture....

The Idea of Landscape and the Sense of Place 1730-1840: An Approach to the Poetry of John Clare
ISBN: 9780521181327 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is generally agreed that in the early eighteenth century people began to be interested in landscape as something to have a 'taste' for; that they saw landscape through the eyes of the great painters, and that later pictures, poetry and landscape gardening all reflect that taste. Dr Barrell examines this interest, showing how the taste for landscape affected the poetry in detail. John Clare, who lived most of his life in rural Northamptonshire, whose landscape was being transformed by enclosure, is then taken as the focus of these different attitudes. Clare's truthfulness to the individual...

Representation, Heterodoxy, and Aesthetics: Essays in Honor of Ronald Paulson
ISBN: 9781611495348 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The chapters constituting this book are different in subject and method, striking testimony to the range of Paulson's interests and the versatility of his critical powers. In his prolific career he has produced extensive analysis of art, poetry, fiction, and aesthetics produced in England between 1650 and 1830. Paulson's unique contribution has to do with his understanding of "seeing" and "reading" as closely related enterprises, and "popular" forms in art and literature as intimately connected--connections illustrated by literary critics and art historians here. Every essay shares some of...
