Victorian Afterlives: The Shaping of Influence in Nineteenth-Century Literature
ISBN: 9780198187271 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Questions of survival were much discussed during the nineteenth century, ranging from debates over the likelihood of a personal immortality, to anxieties over the more dispersed and unpredictable aftermath of particular acts and utterances. Victorian Afterlives sets out to recover this atmosphere, and to explain why its pressures are still being exercised on and in our own ways of thinking. Moving freely between different fields of inquiry (including literary criticism, philosophy, and the history of science), and written in a lively and accessible style, this major new study redraws the map...

Tennyson Among the Poets: Bicentenary Essays
ISBN: 9780199557134 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Published to mark the bicentenary of Alfred Tennyson's birth, these essays offer an important revaluation of his achievement and its lasting importance. After several years in which the temper of criticism has been largely political (and often hostile towards Tennyson in particular) a number of influential recent accounts of Victorian poetry have rediscovered the virtues of a closer style of reading and the benefits and pleasures of an approach that, without at all ignoring social and cultural contexts, approaches them through a primary alertness to textual detail and literary history. This...

Lewis Carroll w Krainie Czarów Prawdziwa biografia
ISBN: 9788383911427 / Polski / twarda / 2026 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) To jedna z najlepszych książek, jakie kiedykolwiek napisano o autorze Alicji w Krainie Czarów. Robert Douglas-Fairhurst opowiada o zawiłych losach Lewisa Carrolla i Alice Liddell (później Alice Hargreaves) aż do jej śmierci w 1934 roku oraz - do dziś budzącym wiele kontrowersji - związku pisarza z kilkuletnią wówczas dziewczynką.Jednak znacznie łatwiej potępić Carrolla, niż stwierdzić z całkowitym przekonaniem, jak powinien brzmieć zarzut, historia tych dwojga jest bowiem równie zagmatwana i tajemnicza, jak świat Alicji w Krainie Czarów i Po drugiej stronie lustra. Nie...

Becoming Dickens: The Invention of a Novelist
ISBN: 9780674072237 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Becoming Dickens tells the story of how an ambitious young Londoner became England's greatest novelist. In following the twists and turns of Charles Dickens's early career, Robert Douglas-Fairhurst examines a remarkable double transformation: in reinventing himself Dickens reinvented the form of the novel. It was a high-stakes gamble, and Dickens never forgot how differently things could have turned out. Like the hero of Dombey and Son, he remained haunted by "what might have been, and what was not." In his own lifetime, Dickens was without rivals. He styled himself... Becoming Dickens tells the story of how an ambitious young Londoner became England's greatest novelist.
