Future History: Global Fantasies in Seventeenth-Century American and British Writings
ISBN: 9780190665135 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Future History traces the ways that English and American writers oriented themselves along an East-West axis to fantasize their place in the world. The book builds on new transoceanic scholarship and recent calls to approach early American studies from a global perspective. Such scholarship has largely focused on the early national period; Bross's work begins earlier and considers the intertwined identities of America, other English colonial sites and metropolitan England during a period before nation-state identities were hardened into the forms we know them today, when an English...

Dry Bones and Indian Sermons: Praying Indians in Colonial America
ISBN: 9780801489389 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Native converts to Christianity, dubbed "praying Indians" by seventeenth-century English missionaries, have long been imagined as benign cultural intermediaries between English settlers and "savages." More recently, praying Indians have been dismissed as virtual inventions of the colonists: "good" Indians used to justify mistreatment of "bad" ones.

A History of American Puritan Literature
ISBN: 9781108840033 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

This History challenges the usual understanding of American puritans, offering new ways of reading their history and their literary culture. Together, an international team of authors make clear that puritan America cannot be thought of apart from Native America, and that its literature is also grounded in Britain, Europe, North...
