Shakespeare Among the Moderns: Toward a Mechanics of Modernist Fiction
ISBN: 9780801484186 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Modernist writers, critics, and artists sparked a fresh and distinctive interpretation of Shakespeare's plays which has proved remarkably tenacious, as Richard Halpern explains in this lively and provocative book. The preoccupations of such high modernists as T. S. Eliot, Wyndham Lewis, and James Joyce set the tone for the critical reception of Shakespeare in the twentieth century. Halpern contends their habits of thought continue to dominate "postmodern" schools of criticism that claim to have broken with the modernist legacy.

When the fuzzy indeterminacy of quantum mechanics overthrew the orderly world of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrodinger were at the forefront of the revolution. Neither man was ever satisfied with the standard interpretation of quantum mechanics, however, and both rebelled against what they considered the most preposterous aspect of quantum mechanics: its randomness. Einstein famously quipped that God... "A fascinating and thought-provoking story, one that sheds light on the origins of... the current challenging situation in physics."--Wal...

Language & Human Nature
ISBN: 9781412808255 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Language and Human Nature" exposes a century's worth of flawed thinking about language, to exhibit some of the dangers it presents, and to suggest a path to recovery. It begins by examining the causes of changes in the English vocabulary. These sometimes take the form of new words, but more often that of new senses for old words. In the course of this examination, Halpern discusses a wide variety of verbal solecisms, vulgarisms, and infelicities generally. His objective is not to deplore such things, but to expose the reasons for their existence, the human traits that generate them.A large...
