Sir Charles Sedley's «The Mulberry-Garden» (1668) and «Bellamira: Or, the Mistress» (1687): An Old-Spelling Critical Edition with an Introduction and
ISBN: 9783631377000 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In his own time, the court wit Sir Charles Sedley (1639-1701) was praised for his poetic skill rather than for his dramatic talent. Yet, as this old-spelling critical edition of his two comedies shows, Sedley was also a satirist whose plays are worth reading along with the ones of his more celebrated fellow-artists Etherege, Wycherley, and Shadwell. After a biographical introduction, a detailed analysis of the plays and characters concentrates on Sedley s satiric strategies which lambaste the marriage of convenience as well as the conduct of a hypocritical and materialistic society."

Violent Language and Its Use in Religious Conflicts in Elizabethan England: Discourses on Values and Norms in the Marprelate Controversy (1588/89)
ISBN: 9783631772645 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Elizabethans saw eloquent language as the mark of the civilized gentleman. At the same time, they believed language to be able to harm, analogous to physical violence. Such concepts of language have important implications for the study of religious controversies of the time, in which the authors often attacked each other harshly via printed language. Employing historical discourse analysis, this study analyses Elizabethan concepts of violent language and shows under which circumstances Elizabethans understood language use as violence. In a second step, the main contributions in one of the...

John Evelyn's Translation of Titus Lucretius Carus- «De Rerum Natura»: An Old-Spelling Critical Edition
ISBN: 9783631358818 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. -It remains, however, slightly surprising that Evelyn was attracted to Lucretius, for, despite his appeal to men like Gassendi and Charleton, Lucretius was a figure who had long been frowned on in orthodox circles, - Michael Hunter, the unrivalled expert on Evelyn s philosophical and scientific interests, states in his article on the translator. In addition to presenting, for the first time, the full text of Evelyn s translation of De rerum natura, still in manuscript in the British Library, this study tries to answer the question why the project appealed at all to somebody who -had a...

Frances Burney and the Female «Bildungsroman»: An Interpretation of «The Wanderer: Or, Female Difficulties»
ISBN: 9783631523032 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Frances Burney s last novel The Wanderer: or, Female Difficulties (1814) is a fascinating study of late-eighteenth-century English society. But is it a good novel, too? For years and years, critics have denied the book s literary merit. Read as a Bildungsroman, however, the novel s many puzzling complexities, seeming irregularities, and frequent didactic -asides- suddenly fall into place. Far from being Burney s least important work, The Wanderer is an intricate portrait of what it meant to be a humanist, a refugee, and a woman at the time of the French Revolution."

«I'le to My Self, and to My Muse Be True»: Strategies of Self-Authorization in Eighteenth-Century Women Poetry
ISBN: 9783631581421 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In their verse, many British women composing poetry in the long eighteenth century wrote about and reflected on the very process of writing itself. In doing so, they often imitated and adapted specific poetic topoi, motifs, and generic patterns established by their male predecessors and peers including, among others, Homer, Ovid, and Juvenal, Dryden, Pope, and Swift. In exploring the phallic connotations of pen and ink, in invoking the assistance of a personal muse, in writing sharp and effective self-satires, and in identifying themselves with Philomela, the mythological persona of the...

Testaments, Donations, and the Values of Books as Gifts: A Study of Records from Medieval England Before 1450
ISBN: 9783631633151 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why were books considered valuable in the Middle Ages? This study focuses on medieval testaments and donation records from England before 1450 to investigate this question. The primary sources and datable records from before and after the Norman Conquest show that contemporary attitudes can be examined surprisingly closely. Semantic fields as indicators of value help us to discover the material and immaterial values associated with books in the manuscript period, and to trace changes and developments in book ownership and book production. This systematic and statistical analysis of the...

Jonathan Swift's «On Poetry: A Rapsody»: A Critical Edition with a Historical Introduction and Commentary
ISBN: 9783631532652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. On Poetry: A Rapsody is one of Jonathan Swift s most complex and controversial poems. This study presents, for the first time, a detailed analysis and interpretation of what, on a surface level, has to be called a mock ars poetica, but which, on a deeper level, is a highly allusive political satire. The main emphasis has been placed on providing a commentary which seeks to make this 18th-century text within its historical, political, and religious context comprehensible to present-day readers."

Poetry and Authority: Chaucer, Vernacular Fable and the Role of Readers in Fifteenth-Century England
ISBN: 9783631761137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study argues that the vernacular fable constituted a productive site for negotiating scholastic poetics in late medieval England. On the basis of a close reading of Chaucer's Nun's Priest's Tale and Manciple's Tale, the book analyses how the concept of textual authority came to be both challenged and vindicated in the face of the growing importance of an empowered vernacular readership. Thus, the fables of John Lydgate and the presentation of Chaucer's texts in some of the earliest printed editions of the Canterbury Tales indicate the development of a Chaucerian poetics that was grounded...

Latitudinarianism and Didacticism in Eighteenth-Century Literature: Moral Theology in Fielding, Sterne, and Goldsmith
ISBN: 9783631591161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The relationship between Latitudinarian moral theology and eighteenth-century literature has been much debated among scholars. However, this issue can only be tackled if the exact objectives of the Latitudinarians moral theology are clearly delineated. In doing so, Patrick Muller unveils the intricate connection between the didactic bias of Latitudinarianism and the resurgent interest in didactic literary genres in the first half of the eighteenth century. His study sheds new light on the complex and contradictory reception of the Latitudinarians controversial theses in the work of three of...

The Pamphlet Controversy about Wood's Halfpence (1722-25) and the Tradition of Irish Constitutional Nationalism
ISBN: 9783631507575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The controversy about Wood s Halfpence between 1722 and 1725 was an exceptional instance of Irish defiance of England s imperial authority. In a heated public dispute, more than 100 pamphlets and broadsides in prose and verse protested against the English Government s granting a patent for coining copper money for Ireland to an English manufacturer. Castigating the project in economic and constitutional terms, they revealed an indebtedness to traditional arguments for Ireland s status as a free kingdom, whose people enjoyed the same liberties as the people of England. The pamphlets thus...
