The Road to Egdon Heath: The Aesthetics of the Great in Nature: Volume 26
ISBN: 9780773518001 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Bevis examines a wide range of English, European, and North American texts, literary works as well as religious, scientific, and travel writing. He surveys the literature on mountain climbing, sea voyages, desert travel, and polar exploration, and its metaphorical uses in poetry and fiction. Relying on Addison's term "the Great" rather than "the sublime," he shows how works such as Darwin's journals, Lyell's studies in geology, and de Saussure's books on the Alps helped form an outlook on nature that also found frequent literary expression.

ISBN: 9781426974007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In a book that is part memoir, part documentary and part fictional narrative, Richard Bevis follows an assortment of teenage "savages" as they descend on Yellowstone Park in 1957, looking for action (and each other) while working at a variety of jobs.

ISBN: 9780582493933 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What were the causes of Restoration drama's licentiousness? How did the elegantly-turned comedy of Congreve become the pointed satire of Fielding? And how did Sheridan and Goldsmith reshape the materials they inherited?
