Seeking a Felicitous Space on the Frontier. The Progression of the Modern American Woman in O. E. Rolvaag, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Willa Cather
ISBN: 9783898215350 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2010 / 126 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych.

A selection of canonical...

ISBN: 9783898215671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Paola Baseottos important study stresses deaths ubiquity as a concept in Spensers works, always present in intimate relation to life, whether in the recurring, disturbing, figures of deathwishers, characters who seem to belong as much to the dead as the living, or as a perspective, challenging both characters and readers, to reassess their own apprehension of death and the way in which it shapes our lives. Baseottos analyses of Spensers deathwishers and living dead focus our attention on some of the most compelling and distinctive images in Spensers work, illuminating our understanding of...
