Elizabethan Mythologies: Studies in Poetry, Drama and Music
ISBN: 9780521035026 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For lovers of music and poetry the legendary figure of Orpheus probably suggests a romantic ideal. But for the Renaissance he is essentially a political figure. Dealing with plays, poems, songs, and the iconography of musical instruments, Robin Headlam Wells reexamines the myth, central to the Orpheus story, of the civilizing power of music and poetry. In doing so he acknowledges a debt to the New Historicism and its recovery of political meanings that traditional historical scholarship has sometimes been guilty of obscuring. But he is also critical of certain faulty premises in New...

Shakespeare on Masculinity
ISBN: 9780521662048 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shakespeare on Masculinity is an important and original study of the way Shakespeare's plays engage with a subject that provoked bitter public dispute. Robin Headlam Wells argues that Shakespeare took a skeptical view of the militant-Protestant cult of heroic masculinity. Following a series of brilliant portraits of the dangerously charismatic warrior-hero, Shakespeare turned at the end of his writing career to a different kind of leader. Plays receiving close readings include The Tempest, Henry V, Troilus and Cressida, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, and Coriolanus.

Neo-Historicism: Studies in Renaissance Literature, History and Politics
ISBN: 9780859915816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
