French origins of English tragedy
ISBN: 9780719082764 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Richard Hillman applies to tragic patterns and practices in early modern England his long-standing critical preoccupation with English-French cultural connections in the period. With primary, though not exclusive, reference on the English side to Shakespeare and Marlowe, and on the French side to a wide range of dramatic and non-dramatic material, he focuses on distinctive elements that emerge within the English tragedy of the 1590s and early 1600s. These include the self-destructive tragic hero, the apparatus of neo-Senecanism (including the Machiavellian villain) and the confrontation...

French Reflections in the Shakespearean Tragic: Three Case Studies
ISBN: 9780719087172 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Richard Hillman pursues his exploration of English tragedy in relation to France with a frank concentration on Shakespeare. Instead of focusing on common paradigms, he sets out to theorise more abstract tragic qualities (such as nostalgia, futility and heroism), but again with reference to specific French texts and contexts. Three manifestations of the 'Shakespearean tragic' are singled out: Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra and All's Well That Ends Well, a comedy with melancholic overtones whose French setting is shown to be richly significant. Hillman brings to bear on each of these central... Richard Hillman pursues his exploration of English tragedy in relation to France with a frank concentration on Shakespeare.

Intertextuality and Romance in Renaissance Drama: The Staging of Nostalgia
ISBN: 9781349221516 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. These essays apply the postmodernist theory of intertextuality to romantic drama of the English Renaissance, including work by Heywood, Beaumont and Fletcher, Ford, and especially Shakespeare. Placing the plays into dynamic relation with a wide variety of literary, cultural, and political 'intertexts' causes them to signify in ways not previously appreciated, as well as to define neglected features of the staged romance of the period. Equally important is the development of intertextuality as a critical methodology with a particular affinity for the genre and the period.

Shakespeare, Marlow and the Politics of France
ISBN: 9780333694541 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Taking a wide-ranging intertextual approach, Richard Hillman sets Early Modern English play-texts against political and cultural discourses concerning France, as these informed contemporary English consciousness. The English works explored go beyond those directly representing French affairs; the French examples include dramatic treatments of Joan of Arc and of the assassination of the Guises by Henri III. In addition to its fresh readings of some familiar plays, the book proposes, as unique to the English-French dynamic, a theoretical model relating history, discourse and subjectivity.

Although situated in close geographical proximity to each other and to the United States, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic are island nations generally considered separately in the fields of Latin American and Commonwealth Caribbean politics.

The last living member of the original circle of Anarcho-pacifist poets at the birth of the San Francisco Renaissance, Richard O. Moore presents his second book, Particulars of Place.

Reflecting a lifetime of devotion to the art of poetry, Particulars of Place confirms Moore's...
