Knowledge and Indifference in English Romantic Prose
ISBN: 9780521810982 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This ambitious study sheds new light on the way the English Romantics dealt with the basic problems of knowledge. Kant complained that the failure of philosophy in the eighteenth-century to respond to empirical scepticism had produced a culture of "indifferentism." Tim Milnes explores the tension between this epistemic indifference and a perpetual compulsion to know. The tension is most clearly evident in the prose writing of the period, in works such as Wordsworth's Preface to Lyrical Ballads, Hazlitt's Essay on the Principles of Human Action, and Coleridge's Biographia Literaria.

Romantic Poets and the Culture of Posterity
ISBN: 9780521026895 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This 1999 book examines the way in which the Romantic period's culture of posterity inaugurates a tradition of writing which demands that the poet should write for an audience of the future: the true poet, a figure of neglected genius, can be properly appreciated only after death. Andrew Bennett argues that this involves a radical shift in the conceptualization of the poet and poetic reception, with wide-ranging implications for the poetry and poetics of the Romantic period. He surveys the contexts for this transformation of the relationship between poet and audience, engaging with issues...

Mary Wollstonecraft and the Feminist Imagination
ISBN: 9780521661447 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the two centuries since Mary Wollstonecraft published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), she has become western feminism's leading icon, a stature that has obscured her actual historic significance. Examining in detail Wollstonecraft's writings, Barbara Taylor provides an alternative reading of her as a writer steeped in the utopianism of Britain's radical Enlightenment. Her feminist principles are shown to have arisen within a revolutionary program for universal equality and moral perfection that reached its zenith during the political upheavals of the 1790s but had its roots in...

Rousseau, Robespierre and English Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521020398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book reopens the question of Rousseau's influence on the French Revolution and on English Romanticism, by examining the relationship between his confessional writings and his political theory. Gregory Dart argues that by looking at the way in which Rousseau's writings were mediated by the speeches and actions of Robespierre, we can gain a clearer and more concrete sense of the legacy he left to English writers. He shows how the writings of Godwin, Wollstonecraft, Wordsworth and Hazlitt rehearse and reflect upon the Jacobin tradition in the aftermath of the Terror.

Wordsworth and the Geologists
ISBN: 9780521020909 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Examination of the links between literary history and science provides valuable new insights for scholars across a range of disciplines. John Wyatt explores the unexpectedly close relationship between William Wordsworth and a group of scientists in the formative years of the new science of geology. Wyatt's study of this personal and intellectual friendship challenges the simplistic opposition between Romantic-literary and scientific-materialist cultures, and shows how discourses were affected by the network of influences between poetry and geology.

Shelley and the Revolutionary Sublime
ISBN: 9780521854009 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Offering a genuinely fresh set of perspectives on Shelley's texts and contexts, Cian Duffy argues that Shelley's engagement with the British and French discourse on the sublime had a profound influence on his writing about political change in that age of revolutionary crisis. Examining Shelley's extensive use of sublime imagery and metaphor, Duffy offers not only a substantial reassessment of Shelley's work but also a significant re-appraisal of the sublime's role in the cultural history of Britain during the Romantic period as well as Shelley's fascination with natural phenomena.

Lyric and Labour in the Romantic Tradition
ISBN: 9780521022965 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the legacy of Romantic poetics in the poetry produced in political movements during the nineteenth century. It argues that a communitarian tradition of poetry extending from the 1790s to William Morris in the 1890s learned from and incorporated elements of Romantic lyricism, and produced an ongoing and self-conscious tradition of radical poetics. The book includes new readings of familiar Romantic poets including Wordsworth and Shelley, and provides case studies of relatively unknown Chartist and Republican poets such as Ernest Jones and W.J. Linton.

Literary Magazines and British Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521032025 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this study, Mark Parker argues that magazines such as the London Magazine and Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work--indeed, magazines became one of the preeminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examining the dynamic relationship between literature and culture that evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concerns that give subtle inflection to its meaning.

British Romanticism and the Science of the Mind
ISBN: 9780521781916 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative and original study, Alan Richardson examines an entire range of intellectual, cultural, and ideological points of contact between British Romantic literary writing and the pioneering brain science of the time. Poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Keats, and novelists such as Jane Austen and Mary Shelley, are shown to have shared a surprising extent of common ground with pioneering brain scientists including Erasmus Darwin and F. J. Gall. It demonstrates the value for literary and cultural history of learning from recent work in neuroscience and cognitive science.

Romanticism and Animal Rights
ISBN: 9780521829410 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Demonstrating how English Romantic writing took up issues of what we now call animal rights, this study joins the growing number of studies that seek precedents or affinities in English Romanticism for ecological concerns. An unprecedented amount of writing advocated kindness to animals in England during the second half of the eighteenth century. This theme was carried through many genres, from sermons to encyclopedias, scientific works to literature for children, and to the poetry of Cowper, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Clare and others.

Byron, Poetics and History
ISBN: 9780521812412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jane Stabler presents this examination of Byron's poetic form in relationship to historical debates of his time. Responding to recent studies in the Romantic period, Stabler asserts that Byron's poetics developed in response to contemporary cultural history and his reception by the English reading public. Drawing on new research, she traces the complexity of the intertextual dialogues that run through his work.

Napoleon and English Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521024129 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Napoleon Bonaparte occupied a central place in the consciousness of many British writers of the Romantic period. In this first full-length study of Romantic writers' obsession with Napoleon, Simon Bainbridge focuses on the writings of Wordsworth, Coleridge, Southey, Byron and Hazlitt. Combining detailed textual analysis with historical and theoretical approaches, and illustrating his argument with contemporary cartoons, Bainbridge shows how Romantic writers constructed and contested different Napoleons as part of their partisan engagement in political and cultural debate.

Sexual Politics and the Romantic Author
ISBN: 9780521027700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sonia Hofkosh explores the role of gender in early nineteenth-century British literary culture, especially in terms of the simultaneous commercialization and feminization of literature. Examining a wide range of texts, she shows how the development of a female reading audience aroused anxieties in the male writers of the period. The author also considers the ways in which three women writers (Mary Shelley, Sarah Hazlitt and Jane Austen) attempted to negotiate the minefields of a male-dominated literary discourse that rendered the female "invisible."

Religion, Toleration, and British Writing, 1790-1830
ISBN: 9780521021586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mark Canuel examines the way that Romantic poets, novelists and political writers criticized the traditional religious conformity of British political unity. Canuel reveals how writers (including Jeremy Bentham, Ann Radcliffe, Maria Edgeworth and Lord Byron) undermined the validity of religion in the British state, and envisioned a tolerant and more organized mode of social inclusion and protection. He asserts that these writers considered their works to be political and literary commentaries on religious toleration.

Fatal Women of Romanticism
ISBN: 9780521816687 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Incarnations of fatal women, or femmes fatales, recur throughout the works of women writers in the Romantic period. Adriana Craciun demonstrates how portrayals of femmes fatales played an important role in the development of Romantic women's poetic identities and affected their exploration of issues surrounding the body, sexuality and politics. Craciun covers a wide range of writers and genres from the 1790s through the 1830s and discusses the work of such well-known figures as Mary Wollstonecraft, as well as lesser-known writers like Anne Bannerman. This examination of women writers' fatal...

The Rise of Supernatural Fiction, 1762-1800
ISBN: 9780521664585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A genre of supernatural fiction was among the more improbable products of the Age of Enlightenment. This book questions the historical reasons for its growing popularity in the late eighteenth century. Beginning with the notorious case of the Cock Lane ghost, a performing poltergeist who became a major attraction in London in 1762, and with Garrick's spellbinding and paradigmatic performance as the ghost-seeing Hamlet, it moves on to look at the Gothic novels of Horace Walpole, Ann Radcliffe, M. G. Lewis, and others, in unexpected new lights, drawing out the connection between fictions of the...

Women Travel Writers and the Language of Aesthetics, 1716-1818
ISBN: 9780521607100 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. British readers of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries eagerly consumed books of travel in an age of imperial expansion that was also the formative period of modern aesthetics. Beauty, sublimity, sensuous surfaces, and scenic views became conventions of travel writing as Britons applied familiar terms to unfamiliar places around the globe. The social logic of aesthetics, argues Elizabeth Bohls, constructed women, the labouring classes, and non-Europeans as foils against which to define the 'man of taste' as an educated, property-owning gentleman. Women writers from Mary Wortley...
