Pretty Creatures: Children and Fiction in the English Renaissance
ISBN: 9780801443992 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Children had surprisingly central roles in many of the public performances of the English Renaissance, whether in entertainments civic pageants, children's theaters, Shakespearean drama or in more grim religious and legal settings, as when children were "possessed by demons" or testified as witnesses in witchcraft trials.

Shakespearean Metaphysics
ISBN: 9780826490445 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Metaphysics is usually associated with that part of the philosophical tradition which asks about 'last things', questions such as: How many substances are there in the world? Which is more fundamental, quantity or quality? Are events prior to things, or do they happen to those things? While he wasn't a philosopher, Shakespeare was obviously interested in 'ultimates' of this sort. Instead of probing these issues with argument, however, he did so with plays. Shakespearean Metaphysics argues for Shakespeare's inclusion within a metaphysical tradition that opposes empiricism and Cartesian...

Landscapes of the Passing Strange: Reflections from Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780393339482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Purcell has pioneered the technique of capturing reflections in antique mercury glass apothecary jars, resulting in haunting images that seem to move with the liquid quickness of ideas. These images are an attempt to capture Shakespeare's expansive imagination in action--what Coleridge called his "myriad-mindedness": they take a visceral journey into the world of his plays. Witmore has paired each photograph with a short passage from Shakespeare's plays with an uncanny sense of the playwright's intent.
