Impersonations: The Performance of Gender in Shakespeare's England
ISBN: 9780521568425 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Why was England the only country in Europe to maintain an all-male public theatre in the Renaissance? Stephen Orgel uses this question as the starting point of a fresh and stimulating exploration of the representation of gender in Elizabethan drama and society. Why were boys used to play female roles in drama, and how did such cross-dressing impact on the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries? What was the place of women in the Renaissance theatre, either on the stage or in the audience? And what did society make of those women who significantly and successfully violated accepted gender...

The Reader in the Book: A Study of Spaces and Traces
ISBN: 9780198737551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Reader in the Book is concerned with a particular aspect of the history of the book, an archeology and sociology of the use of margins and other blank spaces. One of the most commonplace aspects of old books is the fact that people wrote in them, something that, until very recently, has infuriated modern collectors and librarians. But these inscriptions constitute a significant dimension of the book's history, and what readers did to books often added to their value. Sometimes marks in books have no relation to the subject of the book, merely names, dates, prices paid; blank...

Theatres and Encyclopedias in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780521809146 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book analyzes the discourses and practices that defined Renaissance theater, as related to the development of encyclopedic texts and vice versa. Looking at what "theater" meant to medieval and Renaissance writers and critics, William West sets Renaissance drama within one of its cultural and intellectual contexts.

Spenser's Secret Career
ISBN: 9780521416634 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Edmund Spenser (c.1552-99) conducted two careers at once: a celebrated poet, he also pursued a lifelong career as secretary to various political and ecclesiastical figures. Richard Rambuss's ground-breaking book explores the ways in which this latter profession informed his poetic career. It argues that for Spenser, the manipulation of secrets provided a strategy for self-promotion and a means of measuring his distance from royal and aristocratic power. The study presents a new picture of Spenser and examines ideas of gender, power, and subjecthood in the Renaissance.

Ben Jonson: The Complete Masques
ISBN: 9780300105384 / Angielski / Miękka / 1969 / 576 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Renaissance court masque, traditionally an entertainment of music, dancing, pageantry, and spectacular scenic effects, was transformed by Ben Jonson into a serious mode of literary expression. By using its peculiar viability as a forum for his dramatic imagination, Jonson resolved and transcended the satiric vision that was in many ways the substance of Jonsonian drama. He instructed as well as applauded his courtly audience and, with the aid of the great theatrical designer Indigo Jones, brought unity to the diverse elements of the masque, infusing them with a moral and poetic life. This...
