The Other Henry James
ISBN: 9780822321286 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "The Other Henry James," John Carlos Rowe offers a new vision of Henry James as a social critic whose later works can now be read as rich with homoerotic suggestiveness. Drawing from recent work in queer and feminist theory, Rowe argues that the most fruitful approach to James today is one that ignores the elitist portrait of the formalist master in favor of the writer as a vulnerable critic of his own confused and repressive historical moment.

Post-Nationalist American Studies seeks to revise the cultural nationalism and celebratory American exceptionalism that tended to dominate American Studies in the Cold War era.

New Essays on the Education of Henry Adams
ISBN: 9780521445733 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume addresses the established reputation of the Education of Henry Adams as a classic work of American autobiography and a canonical work of American literature.

This is a remarkably coherent volume that explains in original ways the continuing importance of the Education of Henry Adams as literature and history.
