Jane Austen's Emma: A Casebook
ISBN: 9780195175318 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although Jane Austen famously referred to Emma as a heroine "whom no one but myself will much like," the irony of her remark has been obvious since the first appearance of her novel in December 1815. The central character may have attracted diverse reactions, but there can be no doubt about the endless enjoyment afforded to generations of readers. The essays in this collection demonstrate the varied delights of reading Emma. Most have been written in the last twenty years, but each draws on the cumulative body of scholarship and critical analysis that has built up since the novel was...

Local Attachments: The Province of Poetry
ISBN: 9780199558162 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How can poems so firmly attached to particular regions speak to readers far away, who might have no knowledge of the places featuring in the work? Why do writers turn to their own communities for materials? In this thought-provoking and beautifully written book, Fiona Stafford explores the relationship between the local, the national, and the global through the consideration of works by writers whose feeling for place is especially evident. Heaney, Burns, Wordsworth, Scott, Lamb, and Dickens are key figures in the development of a new kind of literature that discovered universal meaning in...

From Gaelic to Romantic: Ossianic Translations
ISBN: 9789042007819 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The appearance of James Macpherson's Ossian in the 1760s caused an international sensation. The discovery of poetic fragments that seemed to have survived in the Highlands of Scotland for some 1500 years gripped the imagination of the reading public, who seized eagerly on the newly available texts for glimpses of a lost primitive world. That Macpherson's versions of the ancient heroic verse were more creative adaptations of the oral tradition than literal translations of a clearly identifiable original may have exercised contemporary antiquarians and contributed eventually to a decline in the...
