New Essays on the American
ISBN: 9780521314497 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The American (1877) was written the very year Henry James committed himself to making his way as an author outside of America. It thus formed part of the brief that James had to draw up both for and against his countrymen. This collection of original essays casts new light on this and other major aspects of the novel: the French literary influences on James as he gravitated between the genres of the romantic and the realistic novel; the many-layered French political scene that he incorporated into the novel; the complex gender roles of his characters; and the pervasive effect of capitalism...

One True Theory & the Quest for an American Aesthetic
ISBN: 9780300122978 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Martha Banta reaches across several disciplines to investigate America's early quest to shape an aesthetic equal to the nation's belief in its cultural worth. Marked by an unusually wide-ranging sweep, the book focuses on three major "testing grounds" where nineteenth-century Americans responded to Ralph Waldo Emerson's call to embrace "everything" in order to uncover the theoretical principles underlying "the idea of creation." The interactions of those who rose to this urgent challenge--artists, architects, writers, politicians, and the technocrats of scientific inquiry--brought about an...
