Performing Oaths in Classical Greek Drama
ISBN: 9781107525832 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Oaths were ubiquitous rituals in ancient Athenian legal, commercial, civic and international spheres. Their importance is reflected by the fact that much of surviving Greek drama features a formal oath sworn before the audience. This is the first comprehensive study of that phenomenon. The book explores how the oath can mark or structure a dramatic plot, at times compelling characters like Euripides' Hippolytus to act contrary to their best interests. It demonstrates how dramatic oaths resonate with oath rituals familiar to the Athenian audiences. Aristophanes' Lysistrata and her accomplices,...

Virginity Revisited: Configurations of the Unpossessed Body
ISBN: 9780802090133 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Classical Antiquity to the present, virginity has been closely allied with power: as someone who chooses a life of celibacy retains mastery over his or her body. Sexual potency withheld becomes an energy-reservoir that can ensure independence and enhance self-esteem, but it can also be harnessed by public institutions and redirected for the common good. This was the founding principle of the Vestal Virgins of Rome and later in the monastic orders of the middle ages. Mythical accounts of goddesses and heroines who possessed the ability to recover their virginity after sexual experience...

Prayer Book and People in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England
ISBN: 9780521793872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the culture of conformity to the Church of England and its liturgy in the period after the Reformation and before the outbreak of the Civil War. It provides a necessary corrective to our view of religion in that period through a serious exploration of the laypeople who conformed, out of conviction, to the Book of Common Prayer. These "prayer book Protestants" formed a significant part of the spectrum of society in Tudor and Stuart England, yet until now they have remained an almost completely uninvestigated group.
