The Rise and Fall of Meter: Poetry and English National Culture, 1860--1930
ISBN: 9780691155128 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why do we often teach English poetic meter by the Greek terms iamb and trochee? How is our understanding of English meter influenced by the history of England's sense of itself in the nineteenth century? Not an old-fashioned approach to poetry, but a dynamic, contested, and inherently nontraditional field, "English meter" concerned issues of personal and national identity, class, education, patriotism, militarism, and the development of English literature as a discipline. The Rise and Fall of Meter tells the unknown story of English meter from the late eighteenth century until just... Why do we often teach English poetic meter by the Greek terms iamb and trochee?

ISBN: 9781586486419 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Southern Africa was once regarded as a worthless jumble of British colonies, Boer republics, and African chiefdoms, a troublesome region of little interest to the outside world. But then prospectors chanced upon the world s richest deposits of diamonds and gold, setting off a titanic struggle between the British and the Boers for control of the land. The result was the costliest, bloodiest, and most humiliating war that Britain had waged in nearly a century, and the devastation of the Boer republics. The New Yorker calls this magisterial account of those years an] astute history....

The Fortunes of Africa: A 5000-Year History of Wealth, Greed, and Endeavor

The Romans relied on their colonies in northern Africa for vital grain shipments to feed the population of Rome. Arab invaders followed in their wake, eventually colonizing the entire region.

Dead at Last, at Last No More Air
ISBN: 9781783191451 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Foreword by Diana Damian Martin
Werner Schwab's final work, also known as a theatre-extinction comedy, is a brutal, irreverent and bizarrely comical piece about what happens when an emerging stage production is sabotaged by outsiders. Following a dispute with the cast, the director replaces all the actors with pensioners from a nearby home for the elderly. At first compliant and polite, the 'forgotten and dispossessed' gradually start to question the director's authority, leading to a 'coup d'etat' where the theatre's cleaning lady is selected as the group's leader. Not everybody... Foreword by Diana Damian Martin
