ISBN: 9780415082211 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Language of Gender and Class challenges widely-held assumptions about the study of the Victorian novel. Lucid, multilayered and cogently argued, this volume will provoke debate and encourage students and scholars to rethink their views on ninteenth-century literature.
Examining six novels, Patricia Ingham demonstrates that none of the writers, male or female, easily accept stereotypes of gender and class. The classic figures of Angel and Whore are reassessed and modified. And the result, argues Ingham, is that the treatment of gender by the late nineteenth century is released...

ISBN: 9780812236002 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. During and after the Hundred Years War, English rulers struggled with a host of dynastic difficulties, including problems of royal succession, volatile relations with their French cousins, and the consolidation of their colonial ambitions toward the areas of Wales and Scotland.

ISBN: 9780415082228 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work examines in detail the widely accepted critical cliche examining the representation of gender always involves investigating the representation of class.

The author argues that none of the novelists considered, either male or female, completely accepts either the stereotyped figures or the authorized story.

The Medieval New: Ethical Ambivalence in an Age of Innovation
ISBN: 9780812247060 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Despite the prodigious inventiveness of the Middle Ages, the era is often characterized as deeply suspicious of novelty. But if poets and philosophers urged caution about the new, Patricia Clare Ingham contends, their apprehension was less the result of a blind devotion to tradition than a response to radical expansions of possibility in diverse realms of art and science. Discovery and invention provoked moral questions in the Middle Ages, serving as a means to adjudicate the ethics of invention and opening thorny questions of creativity and desire. The Medieval New... Despite the prodigious inventiveness of the Middle Ages, the era is often characterized as deeply suspicious of novelty. But if poets and philosoph... |

The Witch and the Hysteric: The Monstrous Medieval in Benjamin Christensen's Häxan
ISBN: 9780692230152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 84 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Benjamin Christensen's 1922 Swedish/Danish film Haxan (known under its English title as Witchcraft Through the Ages) has entranced, entertained, shocked, and puzzled audiences for nearly a century. The film mixes documentary with fantasy, history with theatrics, religion and science, the medieval past and modern culture. This uncanny content is compounded by the film's formal strangeness, a mixture of quasi-documentary with fictional episodes, illustrated lectures alongside docudrama recreations and dreamscapes. Is this a documentary, a horror flick, or both? In this chapbook, authors Doty...
