Killing Hercules: Deianira and the Politics of Domestic Violence, from Sophocles to the War on Terror
ISBN: 9781472434029 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers an entirely new reception history of the myth of Hercules and his wife/killer Deianira. The book poses, and attempts to answer, two important and related questions. First, why have artists across two millennia felt compelled to revisit this particular myth to express anxieties about violence at both a global and domestic level? Secondly, from the moment that Sophocles disrupted a myth about the definitive exemplar of masculinity and martial prowess and turned it into a story about domestic abuse, through to a 2014 production of Handel s Hercules that was set in the...

Thomas Heywood's Theatre, 1599-1639: Locations, Translations, and Conflict
ISBN: 9780754669258 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this major reassessment of his subject, Richard Rowland restores Thomas Heywood-playwright, miscellanist and translator-to his rightful place in early modern theatre history. Rowland contextualizes and historicizes this important contemporary of Shakespeare, locating him on the geographic and cultural map of London through the business Heywood conducts in his writing. Arguing that Heywood's theatrical output deserves the same attention and study that has been directed towards Shakespeare, Jonson, and more recently Middleton, this book looks at three periods of Heywood's creativity: the end...

The Normative and the Evaluative: The Buck-Passing Account of Value
ISBN: 9780198833611 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many have been attracted to the idea that for something to be good there just have to be reasons to favour it. This view has come to be known as the buck-passing account of value. According to this account, for pleasure to be good there need to be reasons for us to desire and pursue it. Likewise for liberty and equality to be values there have to be reasons for us to promote and preserve them. Extensive discussion has focussed on some of the problems that the buck-passing account faces, such as the 'wrong kind of reason' problem. Less attention, however, has been paid as to why we should...
