Robin Hood: The Forresters Manuscript (British Library Additional MS 71158)
ISBN: 9780859914369 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The discovery of the Forresters Manuscript in 1993 cast new light on the Robin Hood ballad tradition.

G. W. M. Reynolds and His Fiction: The Man Who Outsold Dickens
ISBN: 9781138579842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. George Reynolds is arguably the most prolific of all nineteenth-century English novelists, reaching an enormous audience through his thirty-six novels. Often selling in very large numbers in weekly one-penny installments, his works were known as by the most popular English novelist ever. Yet today, he remains almost unknown in the canon of English Literature.
A serious radical, strongly pro-woman, and a leading Chartist seeking the vote for all men, Reynolds’ vigorous heroines differ notably from the Victorian novelists’ timid norm. He was strongly pro-Jewish and pro-Gypsy, very...
