Naming the Birds: n/a
ISBN: 9781505831368 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. While attempting to buy Christmas presents in the local Mall, Mark, an art-historian, sees and follows a girl into a second-hand bookshop. She has vanished - but in the window is a paperback bible with Blake's picture, 'Eve Naming the Birds', as cover design. Recognizing the likeness to the girl he has just followed, he tries to buy the book, but finds it not for sale. Further research reveals that no such cover-design was apparently ever produced. Returning to the Mall, he finds the bookshop has itself disappeared. From a door in another shop, he finds himself in Felpham in 1803, temporary...

Narrative, Religion, and Science: Fundamentalism Versus Irony, 1700-1999
ISBN: 9780521009836 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An increasing number of contemporary scientists, philosophers and theologians downplay their professional authority and describe their work as simply "telling stories about the world." If this is so, literary criticism can and should be applied to all these fields. Yet story telling is neither innocent nor empty-handed. Register, rhetoric, and imagery all manipulate in their own ways. Above all, irony emerges as the natural mode of our modern fragmented culture. Since the eighteenth century there have been only two possible ways of understanding the world--the fundamentalist and the ironic.

Words and the Word: Language Poetics, and Biblical Interpretation
ISBN: 9780521368384 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Prickett charts the schism, opened at the end of the oighteenth century, between biblical hermeneutics and literary criticism. This split has profound implications for both contemporary biblical translation and literary theory. The author investigates the critical commonplace that religious language is essentially poetic, and traces the development of that view in the writings of Dennis and Vico, Herder and Eichhorn, Ccoleridge and Arnold, Wordsworth and Hopkins, and Austin Farrer and Paul Ricouer. This concept continues to provide a terminology for discussing narrative that can no longer be...

The Edinburgh Companion to the Bible and the Arts
ISBN: 9780748639335 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Presents original and authoritative assessments of the changing relationship between the Bible and the arts In this unique Companion, 35 scholars, from world-famous to just beginning, explore the role of the Bible in art and of artistic motifs in the Bible. The specially commissioned chapters demonstrate that just as the arts have portrayed biblical stories in a variety of ways and media over the centuries, so what we call 'the' Bible is not actually a single entity but has been composed of fiercely contested translations of texts in many languages, whose selection has...

Origins of Narrative: The Romantic Appropriation of the Bible
ISBN: 9780521021388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. During the later eighteenth century the Bible underwent a shift in interpretation so radical as to make it virtually a different book from what it had been a hundred years earlier. Even as historical criticism suggested that the Bible's text was neither stable nor original, the new notion of the Bible as a cultural artifact became a paradigm of all literature. Not merely was English, German and French Romanticism steeped in Biblical references of a new kind, but theories of literature and criticism came to be Biblically derived.

Modernity and the Reinvention of Tradition: Backing Into the Future
ISBN: 9781107412590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The idea of tradition seems a timeless one, but our modern understanding of the term was actually shaped by the Victorian revival of tradition as a cornerstone of religion, art and culture. Stephen Prickett traces how the word 'tradition' fell out of use in English by the middle of the eighteenth century and how it returned in the nineteenth having radically changed and gained in meaning. Prickett analyses the work of authors who, like Burke, perhaps unexpectedly, avoid use of the concept, as well as those who, like Coleridge, Keble and Newman, who, variously influenced by German Romantics,...

European Romanticism: A Reader
ISBN: 9781472535443 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 1064 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Romanticism was always culturally diverse. Though English-language anthologies have previously tended to see Romanticism as predominantly British, the term itself actually originated in Germany, where it became the banner of a Europe-wide movement involving the profound intellectual and aesthetic changes which we now associate with modernity. This anthology is the first to place British Romanticism within a comprehensive and multi-lingual European context, showing how ideas and writers interconnected across national and linguistic boundaries. By reprinting everything in the original...

Romanticism and Religion: The Tradition of Coleridge and Wordsworth in the Victorian Church
ISBN: 9780521102179 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Modern scholarship has tended to separate literature and theology. Yet it is impossible to understand the ideas of such Victorian theologians as Hare and Maurice, Keble and Newman without reference to contemporary literary criticism just as it is impossible to understand criticism of the period (and the sensibility it implies) isolated from its theology. This book is an attempt to reinterpret a whole theological tradition in the light of its members' views on language and poetry, and associated ideas of imagination, myth and symbol. Dr Prickett argues that Coleridge and Wordsworth began a...

The Romantics
ISBN: 9781138641945 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1981. This book aims to show Romanticism as a response to certain questions in literature, art, religion, philosophy and politics that were being asked increasingly towards the end of the eighteenth century. The essays focus on growth and change (in society and the individual), nature, feeling and reason, and subjectivism examining how these questions arose, why they were felt to be important and the kinds of answers that, consciously or unconsciously, the Romantics provided. This title will be of interest to students of literature, history and philosophy. "

Education! Education! Education!: Managerial Ethics and the Law of Unintended Consequences
ISBN: 9780907845362 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays in this book criticise the new positivism in education policy, whereby education is systematically reduced to those things that can be measured by so-called 'objective' tests. School curricula have been narrowed with an emphasis on measurable results in the 3 R's and the 'quality' of university departments is now assessed by managerial exercises based on commercial audit practice. As a result, the traditional notion of liberal arts education has been replaced by utilitarian productivity indices.
