Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Paul Giles describes how secular transformations of religious ideas have helped to shape the style and substance of works by American writers, filmmakers and artists from Catholic backgrounds such as Orestes Brownson, Theodore Dreiser, Mary McCarthy, Robert Mapplethorpe, Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Altman.

Atlantic Republic: The American Tradition in English Literature
ISBN: 9780199206339 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Atlantic Republic traces the legacy of the United States both as a place and as an idea in the work of English writers from 1776 to the present day. Seeing the disputes of the Reformation as a precursor to this transatlantic divide, it argues that America has operated since the Revolution as a focal point for various traditions of dissent within English culture. By ranging over writers from Richard Price and Susanna Rowson in the 1790s to Angela Carter and Salman Rushdie at the turn of the twenty-first century, the book argues that America haunts the English literary tradition as a parallel...

Antipodean America: Australasia and the Constitution of U.S. Literature
ISBN: 9780199301560 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although North America and Australasia occupy opposite ends of the earth, they have never been that far from each other conceptually. The United States and Australia both began as British colonies and mutual entanglements continue today, when contemporary cultures of globalization have brought them more closely into juxtaposition. Taking this transpacific kinship as his focus, Paul Giles presents a sweeping study that spans two continents and over three hundred years of literary history to consider the impact of Australia and New Zealand on the formation of U.S. literature. Early American...

Transatlantic Insurrections: British Culture and the Formation of American Literature, 1730-1860
ISBN: 9780812217674 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Selected by "Choice" magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2001 Paul Giles traces the paradoxical relations between English and American literature from 1730 through 1860, suggesting how the formation of a literary tradition in each national culture was deeply dependent upon negotiation with its transatlantic counterpart. Using the American Revolution as the fulcrum of his argument, Giles describes how the impulse to go beyond conventions of British culture was crucial in the establishment of a distinct identity for American literature. Similarly, he explains the consolidation of... Selected by "Choice" magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2001 Paul Giles traces the paradoxical relations between English and American ... |

Hart Crane: The Contexts of the Bridge
ISBN: 9780521107006 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) When Hart Crane's epic poem The Bridge was published in 1930, it was generally judged a failure. Critics said the poet had unwisely attempted to create a mystical synthesis of modern America out of inadequate materials. Crane himself, who committed suicide in 1932, did little to correct this impression; and although the poet's reputation has fluctuated over the past fifty years, many people still find The Bridge unsatisfactory. In this analysis of Crane's long poem, Paul Giles demonstrates that the author was consciously constructing his Bridge out of a huge number of puns and paradoxes, most...

Virtual Americas: Transnational Fictions and the Transatlantic Imaginary
ISBN: 9780822329671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Arguing that limited nationalist perspectives have circumscribed the critical scope of American Studies scholarship, "Virtual Americas" advocates a comparative criticism that illuminates the work of well-known literary figures by defamiliarizing it placing it in unfamiliar contexts. Paul Giles looks at a number of canonical nineteenth- and twentieth-century American writers by focusing on their interactions with British culture. He demonstrates how American authors from Herman Melville to Thomas Pynchon have been compulsively drawn to negotiate with British culture so that their nationalist...

The Global Remapping of American Literature
ISBN: 9780691136134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book charts how the cartographies of American literature as an institutional category have varied radically across different times and places. Arguing that American literature was consolidated as a distinctively nationalist entity only in the wake of the U.S. Civil War, Paul Giles identifies this formation as extending until the beginning of the Reagan presidency in 1981. He contrasts this with the more amorphous boundaries of American culture in the eighteenth century, and with ways in which conditions of globalization at the turn of the twenty-first century have reconfigured the...
