Tolkien and Shakespeare: Essays on Shared Themes and Language
ISBN: 9780786428274 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Tolkien and Shakespeare: one a prolific popular dramatist and poet of the Elizabethan era, the other a twentieth-century scholar of Old English and author of a considerably smaller body of work. Though unquestionably very different writers, the two have more in common than one might expect. These essays focus on the broad themes and motifs which concerned both authors. They seek to uncover Shakespeare's influence on Tolkien through echoes of the playwright's themes and even word choices, discovering how Tolkien used, revised, updated, "corrected," and otherwise held an ongoing dialogue with...

Lois McMaster Bujold: Essays on a Modern Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy
ISBN: 9780786468331 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lois McMaster Bujold has won a shelf full of awards--Hugos, Nebulas, and others--for both her science fiction and fantasy writing. She is one of the most respected names in the field, always delivering polished, thoughtful, and well-crafted writing. She consistently addresses great issues and problems on a human level, where they are faced by quirky, prickly, and very real characters, and her exploration of the theory of reader-response is an important critical contribution. Yet there has been a surprising dearth of serious critical writing about her output--in part because she resists neat...

War and the Works of J.R.R. Tolkien
ISBN: 9780313325922 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Having participated in the First World War, and having seen two of his sons serve in the Second, Tolkien was concerned with many of the same themes that interested other writers in the post-war period. The rhythm of war flows through his writings, but his own interpretation of the themes, symbols, and motifs of war, however, were influenced by his religious views and his interest in fantasy, which add another layer of meaning and a sense of timelessness to his writing. Croft explores the different aspect of Tolkien's relationship with war both in his life and in his work from the early...

Baptism of Fire: The Birth of the Modern British Fantastic in World War I
ISBN: 9781887726030 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. World War I has been called "the poets' war," as it was characterized by a massive outpouring of works of literature during and after the war. Much of this literary harvest, as Paul Fussell brilliantly demonstrated in The Great War and Modern Memory, hinged on an ironic response to the deadly absurdities of World War I. Yet, Fussell also acknowledges that fantasy could be a legitimate literary response to the war, a way of transforming the horrible experiences of the war into something more bearable, applicable, and relevant; into myth and "Escape" in the sense that Tolkien used the term in...
