Robert Burns and Pastoral: Poetry and Improvement in Late Eighteenth-Century Scotland
ISBN: 9780198732426 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Robert Burns and Pastoral is a full-scale reassessment of the writings of Robert Burns (1759-1796), arguably the most original poet writing in the British Isles between Pope and Blake, and the creator of the first modern vernacular style in British poetry. Although still celebrated as Scotland's national poet, Burns has long been marginalized in English literary studies worldwide, due to a mistaken view that his poetry is linguistically incomprehensible and of interest to Scottish readers only. Nigel Leask challenges this view by interpreting Burns's poetry as an innovative and critical...

British Romantic Writers and the East: Anxieties of Empire
ISBN: 9780521604444 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The recent turn to political and historical readings of Romanticism has given us a more complex picture of the institutional, cultural and sexual politics of the period. There has been a tendency, however, to confine such study to the European scene. In this book, Nigel Leask sets out to study the work of Byron, Shelley and De Quincey (together with a number of other major and minor Romantic writers, including Robert Southey and Tom Moore) in relation to Britain's imperial designs on the 'Orient'. Combining historical and theoretical approaches with detailed analyses of specific works, it...

Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel Writing, 1770-1840: `From an Antique Land'
ISBN: 9780199269303 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The first book of its kind to study the Romantic obsession with the "antique lands" of Ethiopia, Egypt, India, and Mexico, Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel Writing is an important contribution to the recent wave of interest in exotic travel writing. Drawing generously on both original texts and modern scholarship in literature, history, geography, and anthropology, it focuses on the unstable discourse of "curiosity" to offer an important reformulation of the relations between literature, aesthetics, and colonialism in the period.

The Oxford Edition of the Works of Robert Burns Volume I: Commonplace Books, Tour Journals, and Miscellaneous Prose
ISBN: 9780199603176 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume of Robert Burns's Commonplace Books, Tours Journals and Miscellaneous Prose Works is a major contribution to our understanding of the life and writings of one of the major Scottish, and British, poets of all times. To the extent that the Commonplace Books and other prose writings offer a glimpse into Burns's creative workshop, they record the self-conscious poetic development of a man who was endowed with none of the advantages of birth and education enjoyed by many other writers. Spanning nearly two decades of his sadly foreshortened life, they permit a new understanding...

Romanticism and Popular Culture in Britain and Ireland
ISBN: 9780521349604 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From the ballad-seller to the Highland bard, from 'pot-house politics' to the language of low and rustic life, the writers and artists of the British Romantic period drew eclectic inspiration from the realm of plebeian experience, even as they helped to constitute the field of popular culture as a new object of polite consumption. Representing the work of leading scholars from both Britain and North America, Romanticism and Popular Culture in Britain and Ireland offers a series of fascinating insights into changing representations of 'the people', while demonstrating at the same time a...

Enlightenment Travel and British Identities: Thomas Pennant's Tours of Scotland and Wales
ISBN: 9781783086535 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Thomas Pennant of Downing, Flintshire (1726-1798), naturalist, antiquarian and self-styled 'Curious Traveller', published accounts of his pioneering travels in Scotland and Wales to wide acclaim between 1769 and 1784, directly inspiring Dr Johnson, James Boswell and hundreds of subsequent tourists. A keen observer and cataloguer of plants, birds, minerals and animals, Pennant corresponded with a trans-continental network of natural scientists (Linnaeus, Simon Pallas, Joseph Banks, Gilbert White), and was similarly well-connected with leading British antiquarians (William Borlase, Francis...
