ISBN: 9780742542679 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Is theology responsible to tradition or new insight? Institutional church or humanity at large? Spiritual or everyday existence? Revelation or scientific findings? In his new bookScience of God: Truth in the Age of Science, Kevin Sharpe proposes a method for doing theology which does not divorce it from the practical applications of science.

Science and theology can each share the same empirical method: when...

Writing Lives: Biography and Textuality, Identity and Representation in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780199698233 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Biography appears to thrive as never before; and there clearly remains a broad readership for literary biography. But the methods and approaches of recent criticism which have contributed rich insights and asked new questions about the ways in which we interrogate and appreciate literature have scarcely influenced biography. Biography as a form has been largely unaffected by either new critical or historical perspectives. For early-modern scholars the biographical model, fashioned as a stable form in the eighteenth century, has been, in some respects, a distorting lens onto early-modern...

Criticism and Compliment: The Politics of Literature in the England of Charles I
ISBN: 9780521386616 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Criticism and Compliment examines the poems, plays and masques of the three figures who succeeded Ben Jonson as authors of court entertainments in the England of Charles I. The courtly literature of Caroline England has been dismissed by critics and characterised by historians as propaganda for Charles I's absolutism penned by sycophantic hirelings. Kevin Sharpe questions the assumptions on which these evaluations have been based. Challenging the traditional argument for a polarity between court and country cultures in early Stuart England, he re-reads the plays, poems and masques as primary...

Rebranding Rule: The Restoration and Revolution Monarchy, 1660-1714
ISBN: 9780300162011 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 849 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the climactic part of his three-book series exploring the importance of public image in the Tudor and Stuart monarchies, Kevin Sharpe employs a remarkable interdisciplinary approach that draws on literary studies and art history as well as political, cultural, and social history to show how this preoccupation with public representation met the challenge of dealing with the aftermath of Cromwell's interregnum and Charles II's restoration, and how the irrevocably changed cultural landscape was navigated by the sometimes astute yet equally fallible Stuart monarchs and their successors.

Image Wars: Promoting Kings & Commonwealths in England 1603-1660
ISBN: 9780300240290 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Spin doctors, photo opportunities and 'managing the news' may appear to have emerged only recently on the political scene, but in fact image and its manipulation have always been vital to the authority of rulers. This book, the second in Kevin Sharpe's trilogy exploring image, power and communication in early modern England, examines their importance during the turbulent seventeenth century. From the crowning of James I to the end of Cromwell's Protectorate, Sharpe considers how kings and, increasingly, monarchy's opponents sought to manage their public image in order to enhance their...

ISBN: 9780674030404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This brief book takes readers to the very heart of what it is that philosophy can do well. Completed shortly before Donald Davidson's death at 85, Truth and Predication brings full circle a journey moving from the insights of Plato and Aristotle to the problems of contemporary philosophy. In particular, Davidson, countering many of his contemporaries, argues that the concept of truth is not ambiguous, and that we need an effective theory of truth in order to live well. Davidson begins by harking back to an early interest in the classics, and an even earlier engagement with the...
