Saving Civilization: Yeats, Eliot, and Auden Between the Wars
ISBN: 9780521269308 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 'Saving civilization' was the grandiloquent cry of the 1920s and 1930s, This is a study of the various answers these three great modern British poets - Yeats, Eliot and Auden - gave to the question of how a 'mere writer' could affect the world of his audience. The author concentrates on the years between the wars, a time when the pressure to save civilization was felt by poets and political leaders alike. The book avoids the typical political labels associated with these poets, such as 'reactionary' or 'leftist'. Rather, it analyses the conflict the three felt between a civic urge to become...

Auden's Apologies for Poetry
ISBN: 9780691633060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Common wisdom has it that when Auden left England for New York in January 1939, he had already written his best poems. He left behind (most critics believe) all the idealisms of the 1930s and all serious concerns to become an unserious poet, a writer of ingenious, agreeable, minor lyrics. Lucy McDiarmid argues that such readers, spoiled by the simple intensities of apocalypse, distort and misjudge Auden's greatest work. She shows that once Auden was freed from the obligation to criticize and reform the society of his native country, he devoted his imaginative energies to commentary on art....

Irish Art of Controversy
ISBN: 9780801443534 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Controversies are high drama: in them people speak lines as colorful and passionate as any recited on stage. In the years before the 1916 Rising, public battles were fought in Ireland over French paintings, a maverick priest, Dublin slum children, and theatrical censorship. Controversy was "popular," wrote George Moore, especially "when accompanied with the breaking of chairs."In her new book, Lucy McDiarmid offers a witty and illuminating account of these and other controversies, antagonistic exchanges with no single or no obvious high ground. They merit attention, in her view, not because...
