Tropic of Venice
ISBN: 9780812239843 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Named one of the "Big Ten Outstanding Books from University Presses for 2006" by ForeWord magazine For Margaret Doody, Venice, poised between East and West, earth and sea, sacred and profane, occupies a place only its own. Appearances confound. Renaissance ladies achieved their blond beauty by crimping and dyeing their hair in urine. The richly ornamented facades of its buildings mask lighter structures based on wood pilings ultimately floating on clay and water. Marble is intimate with mud. In Doody's Venice, the holy is never far from the sensual, the earthy and carnal....

Jane Austen's Names: Riddles, Persons, Places
ISBN: 9780226419107 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Jane Austen's works, a name is never just a name. In fact, the names Austen gives her characters and places are as rich in subtle meaning as her prose itself. Wiltshire, for example, the home county of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey, is a clue that this heroine is not as stupid as she seems: according to legend, cunning Wiltshire residents caught hiding contraband in a pond capitalized on a reputation for ignorance by claiming they were digging up a "big cheese"--the moon's reflection on the water's surface. It worked. In Jane Austen's Names, Margaret Doody offers...

The True Story of the Novel
ISBN: 9780813524535 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 610 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Twentieth-century historians and critics defending the novel have emphasized its role as superseding something else, as a sort of legitimate usurper that deposed the Epic, a replacement of myth, or religious narrative. To say that the Age of Early Christianity was really also the Age of the Novel rumples such historical tidiness--but so it was. From the outset of her discussion, Doody rejects the conventional Anglo-Saxon distinction between Romance and Novel. This eighteenth-century distinction, she maintains, served both to keep the foreign--dark-skinned peoples, strange speakers,...

Treating Frances Burney (1752 1840) with the seriousness usually reserved for later novelists of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Margaret Anne Doody combines biographical narrative with informed literary criticism as she analyzes not only Burney's published novels, but her plays, fragments of novels, poems, and other works never published.

Eighteenth-Century Poetry and the Rise of the Novel Reconsidered
ISBN: 9781611487022 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Eighteenth-Century Poetry and the Rise of the Novel Reconsidered begins with the brute fact that poetry jostled up alongside novels in the bookstalls of eighteenth-century England. Indeed, by exploring unexpected collisions and collusions between poetry and novels, this volume of exciting, new essays offers a reconsideration of the literary and cultural history of the period. The novel poached from and featured poetry, and the "modern" subjects and objects privileged by "rise of the novel" scholarship are only one part of a world full of animate things and people with indistinct boundaries....

Since its publication in 1908, Anne of Green Gables has been a continuous international best-seller, enjoying successful television adaptations on PBS and The Disney Channel, and captivating children and adults alike with the irresistible charms of its remarkable heroine, Anne Shirley.
