ISBN: 9780691160979 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) It would be easy to assume that, in the eighteenth century, slavery and the culture of taste--the world of politeness, manners, and aesthetics--existed as separate and unequal domains, unrelated in the spheres of social life.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Why did the novel take such a long time to emerge in the colonial world?

They begin with a chronology of key historical events and an overview of the emergence and transformation of literary culture in the region. Then they provide...
