Landscape and Written Expression in Revolutionary America: The World Turned Upside Down
ISBN: 9780521070805 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book attempts an interpretation of Revolutionary American culture. It argues that the cultural identity of the United States, like its political identity, emerged from a quarrel with the Old World. Europeans believed that the Revolution had 'turned the world upside down'. American intellectuals tried to construct a republic which refuted European criticism. They failed, but in failing they created an attitude to the terrain which became a central theme in American culture.

Approaches To The American Musical
ISBN: 9780859894050 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Most books on the American musical are little more than exercises in nostalgia. The specially commissioned essays that make up Approaches to the American Musical take a different view of the form. Going beyond the common assertion that musicals are simply escapist, these examinations of American stage and film musicals argue that Porgy and Bess, Top Hat, Kiss Me Kate and All That Jazz were popular precisely because they engaged with such important American issues as ethnicity, commerce and international relations.

American Literature Before 1880
ISBN: 9781138436633 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. American Literature Before 1880 attempts to place its subject in the broadest possible international perspective. It begins with Homer looking westward, and ends with Henry James crossing the Atlantic eastwards.

It is...
