Indian Angles: English Verse in Colonial India from Jones to Tagore
ISBN: 9780821425213 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A new historical approach to Indian English literature Mary Ellis Gibson shows that poetry, not fiction, was the dominant literary genre of Indian writing in English until 1860 and that poetry written in colonial situations can tell us as much or even more about figuration, multilingual literacies, and histories of nationalism than novels can. Gibson re-creates the historical webs of affiliation and resistance that were experienced by writers in colonial India—writers of British, Indian, and mixed ethnicities. Advancing new theoretical and historical paradigms for reading colonial...

Cinematic Techniques in the Prose Fiction of Beatriz Guido
ISBN: 9781581120585 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Has 20th century literary technique been influenced by the cinema?

The Narrative of the Good Death: The Evangelical Deathbed in Victorian England
ISBN: 9781472446961 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
