ISBN: 9780231100298 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 185 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Kroeber argues that literary criticism needs to reestablish connections to a wide range of social activities, especially the thinking of contemporary scientists. This new kind of criticism, "ecological literary criticism," sets out to correct the abstractions of current theorizing about literature, and to make humanistic studies more socially responsible. Though applicable to any writer of any period, Kroeber points out that the proto-ecological tendencies of the English Romantic poets make them especially useful as a starting point for this approach. Since the Romantics believed that...

Creation Myths of Primitive America
ISBN: 9781576079393 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 297 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Native American mythology shows vestiges of religious concepts already old when the Egyptians evolved their form of worship. This volume offers an unusual collection of myths from two Native American cultures, the Wintu and Yana, recorded and translated in the 1880s by Jeremiah Curtin, one of the outstanding American linguists of the later 19th century. Because Curtin sought out storytellers who were not influenced by other cultures, his translations offer remarkably accurate accounts of the fundamental beliefs of Native Americans. In his introduction, Curtin explains the profound... Native American mythology shows vestiges of religious concepts already old when the Egyptians evolved their form of worship.
