G. W. M. Reynolds and His Fiction: The Man Who Outsold Dickens
ISBN: 9781138579842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. George Reynolds is arguably the most prolific of all nineteenth-century English novelists, reaching an enormous audience through his thirty-six novels. Often selling in very large numbers in weekly one-penny installments, his works were known as by the most popular English novelist ever. Yet today, he remains almost unknown in the canon of English Literature.
A serious radical, strongly pro-woman, and a leading Chartist seeking the vote for all men, Reynolds’ vigorous heroines differ notably from the Victorian novelists’ timid norm. He was strongly pro-Jewish and pro-Gypsy, very...

Robin Hood: An Anthology of Scholarship and Criticism
ISBN: 9780859915250 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 495 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

This book is the first to bring together major studies of aspects of the tradition. The thirty-one studies take a variety of approaches, from archival exploration in quest of a real Robin Hood, to a political angle seeking the social meaning of the texts across time, to literary scholars concerned with origin, structures and generic...
