Shakespeare and the Modern Poet
ISBN: 9780521199827 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shakespeare is a major influence on poets writing in English, but the dynamics of that influence in the twentieth century have never been as closely analysed as they are in this important study. More than an account of the ways in which Shakespeare is figured in both the poetry and the critical prose of modern poets, this book presents a provocative new view of poetic interrelationship. Focusing on W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot, W. H. Auden, Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, Neil Corcoran uncovers the relationships combative as well as sympathetic between these poets themselves as they are intertwined...

After Yeats and Joyce: Reading Modern Irish Literature
ISBN: 9780192892317 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Irish literature after Yeats and Joyce, from the 1920s onwards, includes texts that have been the subject of much contention. For a start, how should Irish literature be defined: as works which have been written in Irish or as works written in English by the Irish? It is a period in which ideas of Ireland--of people, community, and nation--have been both created and reflected, and in which conceptions of a distinct Irish identity have been articulated, defended, and challenged; a period which has its origins in a time of intense political turmoil. Corcoran focuses his chapters on various...

Elizabeth Bowen: The Enforced Return
ISBN: 9780199532131 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Elizabeth Bowen is a writer who is still too little appreciated. Neil Corcoran presents here a critical study of her novels, short stories, family history, and essays, and shows that her work both inherits from the Modernist movement and transforms its experimental traditions.
Elizabeth Bowen: The Enforced Return explores how she adapts Irish Protestant Gothic as a means of interpreting Irish experience during the Troubles of the 1920s and the Second World War, and also as a way of defining the defencelessness of those enduring the Blitz in wartime London. She employs versions of the... Elizabeth Bowen is a writer who is still too little appreciated. Neil Corcoran presents here a critical study of her novels, short stories, family his...

Elizabeth Bowen: The Enforced Return offers an imaginative new reading of the work of a writer still too little known.
