Another Music: Polemics and Pleasures
ISBN: 9781412807937 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the essays in this book attest, in a time of specialization John McCormick chose diversification, a choice determined by a life spent in many occupations and many countries. After his five years in the U. S. Navy in the Second World War, the academy beckoned by way of the G. I. Bill, graduate training, and a career in teaching. Prosperity in the American university at the time meant setting up as a "Wordsworth man," a "Keats man," or a "Dr. Johnson man": all chilling to the author. He chose self-exile in which he disguised himself as an "Americanist" saleable in Europe, and lectured...

Bullfighting: Art, Technique and Spanish Society
ISBN: 9780765806574 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ernest Hemingway, best-known to layman and aficionado alike, in his fiction described bullfighting, or toreo, as a cross between romantic risk and a drunken party, or as an elaborate substitute for war, ending in wounds or death. Although his descriptions of the "beauty"in toreo are lyrical, they are short on imaginative creation of how such beauty, through techniques and discipline, comes about. Hemingway may have sculpted a personal mystique of toreo but, in the opinion of some, he ignored or slighted the full, unique nature of the subject. In...

Seagoing: Memoirs
ISBN: 9780765800213 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The great virtue of McCormick's memoirs is their blunt honesty. He writes with a persuasive directness about what happened to him and what he believes..."--Arts and Letters
The title of John McCormick's autobiographical book, may be taken both literally and symbolically. In a literal sense, going to sea was an early and powerful ambition, while seagoing is also a metaphor for the twists and turns in a rootless life, a long voyaging. This is not a conventional autobiography. It is personal only as necessary for continuity, and never confessional. The essays center upon...

Popular Puppet Theatre in Europe, 1800 1914
ISBN: 9780521616157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Banned, marginalised, tolerated or neglected, puppets were a major form of entertainment of the subordinate classes in the nineteenth century. Showmen travelled from one end of Europe to the other bringing everything from biblical plays to melodramas and variety to audiences who experienced them as their only form of dramatic entertainment. The first study of its kind in English, Popular Puppet Theatre in Europe is less a history than a comparative study, highlighting a significant aspect of social and cultural history from a national and transnational perspective. It examines the showmen,...

Fiction as Knowledge: Modern Post-Romantic Novel
ISBN: 9780765804808 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Critics of fiction have long been aware that the romantic movement in Europe and America gave a powerful impulse to the art of fiction. The exact nature of that impulse has resisted analysis like so much associated with romanticism. In Fiction as Knowledge John McCormick reaches for precision, proposing that much of the vitality of modern fiction derives from romantic conceptions of history which made available to fiction not merely historical subject matter, but new perceptions of reality, present and past, that pervade the work of many of the greatest writers of the post-romantic...

ISBN: 9780415846301 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Britain has an immense range of environmental law and the reputation for largely ignoring it. John McCormick describes the fascinating story of the political growth of that law, and the pressures, the compromises, the parliamentary and civil service opportunism that allowed the edifice to grow over the greater part of a century. He tells the story of the absolute change in political climate over the last ten years and deciphers the nature of Thatcher's "conversion" to greenery. He explains why everyone who cared about the environment became embattled and, above all, how the old methods of...
