Westerns: Making the Man in Fiction and Film
ISBN: 9780226532356 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Ranging from the novels of James Fenimore Cooper to Louis L'Amour, and from classic films like Stagecoach to spaghetti Westerns like A Fistful of Dollars, Mitchell shows how Westerns helped assuage a series of crises in American culture. This landmark study shows that the Western owes its perennial appeal not to unchanging conventions but to the deftness with which it responds to the obsessions and fears of its audience. And no obsession, Lee Mitchell argues, has figured more prominently in the Western than what it means to be a man.

ISBN: 9781496201966 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Lee Clark Mitchell takes a position against those critics looking to attach ""post"" to the all-too-familiar genre. For though the frontier disappeared long ago, though men on horseback have become commonplace, and though films of all sorts have always, necessarily defied generic patterns, the Western continues to enthrall audiences.

American Cheeses: The Best Regional, Artisan, and Farmhouse Cheeses,
ISBN: 9781451687903 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1976, Clark Wolf ran a little cheese shop at the base of Nob Hill in San Francisco; in 1980 he became the manager of the San Francisco branch of the legendary Oakville Grocery. While the rest of America was on the verge of a decade of a morbid fear of butterfat, Wolf was looking for a source of local fresh mozzarella and newly devoted to the joys of rice flour-rubbed teleme and four-year-old Wisconsin cheddar. Today, we are all knee-deep in bocconcini and fresh goat cheese, and Wolf is a restaurant and food consultant. But glorious cheese, particularly American cheese, is still his...

Mere Reading: The Poetics of Wonder in Modern American Novels
ISBN: 9781501329654 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Mere Reading argues for a return to the foundations of literary study established nearly a century ago. Following a recent period dominated by symptomatic analyses of fictional texts (new historicist, Marxist, feminist, identity-political), Lee Clark Mitchell joins a burgeoning neo-formalist movement in challenging readers to embrace a rationale for literary criticism that has too long been ignored-a neglect that corresponds, perhaps not coincidentally, to a flight from literature courses themselves. In close readings of six American novels spread over the past century-Willa... Mere Reading argues for a return to the foundations of literary study established nearly a century ago.

First published in 1895, The Red Badge of Courage found immediate success and brought its author immediate fame. In his introduction to this volume, Lee Clark Mitchell discusses how Crane broke with the conventions of both fiction and journalism to create a uniquely ???disruptive??? prose style. The five essays that follow each explore different aspects of the novel. One studies the problem of establishing the authentic text; another examines it as a war novel; a third considers it as a critique of the rising mood of militant imperialism in the 1890s; a fourth focuses on the double...

Ceterus Paribus Laws
ISBN: 9789048161737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Natural and social sciences seem very often, though usually only implicitly, to hedge their laws by ceteris paribus clauses - a practice which is philosophically very hard to understand because such clauses seem to render the laws trivial and unfalsifiable. After early worries the issue is vigorously discussed in the philosophy of science and the philosophy of mind since ca. 15 years.
This volume collects the most prominent philosophers of science in the field and presents a lively, controversial, but well-integrated, highly original and up-to-date discussion of the...
