Cultures of Letters: Scenes of Reading and Writing in Nineteenth-Century America
ISBN: 9780226075266 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Using a variety of historical sources, Richard H. Brodhead reconstructs the institutionalized literary worlds that coexisted in nineteenth-century America: the middle-class domestic culture of letters, the culture of mass-produced cheap reading, the militantly hierarchical high culture of post-emancipation black education. He describes how these socially structured worlds of writing shaped the terms of literary practice for writers like Stowe, Hawthorne, Fanny Fern, Louisa May Alcott, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Charles Chesnutt.

The School of Hawthorne
ISBN: 9780195060706 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In The School of Hawthorne, Brodhead uses Hawthorne as a prime example of how literary traditions are made, not born. Under Brodhead's scrutiny, the Hawthorne tradition opens out onto a wide array of subjects, many of which have received little previous attention. He offers a detailed account of Hawthorne's life in American letters, showing how authors as varied as Melville, Howells, James, and Faulkner have learned from Hawthorne's model while all the while changing the terms in which he has been read. As he traces Hawthorne's continued life among his heirs, Brodhead also reflects...

The Marble Faun: Or, the Romance of Monte Beni
ISBN: 9780140390773 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hawthorne's novel of Americans abroad, the first novel to explore the influence of European cultural ideas on American morality. Although it is set in Rome, the fictive world of The Marble Faun depends not on Italy's social or historical significance, but rather on its aesthetic importance as a definer of 'civilization'. As in The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne is concerned here with the nature of transgression and guilt. A murder, motivated by love, affects not only Donatello, the murderer, but his beloved Miriam and their friends Hilda and Kenyon. As he explores the...

Isaac C. Parker: Federal Justice on the Frontier
ISBN: 9780806135274 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The historical Isaac C. Parker (1838-1898) has been overshadowed by his legend--the notorious "hanging judge" of the Wild West. In his time as district court judge, he did sentence over 160 people to execution, but Parker's reputation as a bloodthirsty monster is unfounded. In reality, Parker assigned the penalty mandated by law but had personal reservations about capital punishment. Born in Belmont County, Ohio, Parker served as city attorney, circuit attorney, and circuit judge in Missouri during the 1860s. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1871 to 1875. However, his... The historical Isaac C. Parker (1838-1898) has been overshadowed by his legend--the notorious "hanging judge" of the Wild West. In his time as dist... |

The Conjure Woman and Other Conjure Tales
ISBN: 9780822313878 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The stories in The Conjure Woman were Charles W. Chesnutt's first great literary success, and since their initial publication in 1899 they have come to be seen as some of the most remarkable works of African American literature from the Emancipation through the Harlem Renaissance. Lesser known, though, is that the The Conjure Woman, as first published by Houghton Mifflin, was not wholly Chesnutt's creation but a work shaped and selected by his editors. This edition reassembles for the first time all of Chesnutt's work in the conjure tale genre, the entire imaginative feat of...

The Journals of Charles W. Chesnutt
ISBN: 9780822314240 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Born on the eve of the Civil War, Charles W. Chesnutt grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina, a county seat of four or five thousand people, a once-bustling commercial center slipping into postwar decline. Poor, black, and determined to outstrip his modest beginnings and forlorn surroundings, Chesnutt kept a detailed record of his thoughts, observations, and activities from his sixteenth through his twenty-fourth year (1874-1882). These journals, printed here for the first time, are remarkable for their intimate account of a gifted young black man's dawning sense of himself as a writer in...

Brodhead addresses issues of importance to institutes of higher learning and to those who participate in them. As the popular Dean of Yale College from 1993 to 2004, Brodhead was involved in every aspect of undergraduate education-curriculum, faculty appointments, and student life-and occupied a unique position from which to ponder the ways that college can prepare young people to lead fulfilling lives.
