ISBN: 9780299288648 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780415900157 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780521301060 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 944 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a rounded account of the American Renaissance in literature. The narratives in this volume offer a four-fold perspective on literature: social, cultural, intellectual and aesthetic. Michael D. Bell describes the social conditions of the literary vocation: those that shaped the growth of a professional literature in the United States. Eric Sundquist draws upon broad cultural patterns: his account of the writings of exploration, slavery, and the frontier is an interweaving of disparate voices, outlooks and traditions. Barbara L. Packer's sources come largely from intellectual history:...

The Cambridge History of American Literature, Volume 8: Poetry and Criticism, 1940-1995
ISBN: 9780521497336 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. IVolume 8, concerned with works of poetry and criticism written between 1940 and the present, brings together two different sets of materials and narrative forms: the aesthetic and the institutional. Discarding the traditional synoptic overview of major figures, von Hallberg, Graff, and Carton settle in favor of a history from the inside--a history of interstices and relations, equal to the task of considering the contexts of art, power, and criticism in which it is set.
