Hard Reading: Learning from Science Fiction
ISBN: 9781781382615 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The fifteen essays collected in Hard Reading argue, first, that science fiction has its own internal rhetoric, relying on devices such as neologism, dialogism, semantic shifts, the use of unreliable narrators. It is a "high-information" genre which does not follow the Flaubertian ideal of le mot juste, "the right word," preferring le mot imprevisible, "the unpredictable word." Both ideals shun the facilior lectio, the "easy reading," but for different reasons and with different effects. The essays argue further that science fiction derives much of its energy from engagement with vital...

Studies in Medievalism XII: Film and Fiction: Reviewing the Middle Ages
ISBN: 9780859917728 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The middle ages provide the material for mass-market films, for historical and fantasy fiction, for political propaganda and claims of legitimacy, and these in their turn exert a force well outside academia. The phenomenon is too important to be left unscrutinised: these essays show the continuing power and applicability of medieval images - and also, it must be said, their dangerousness and often their falsity. Of the ten essays in this volume, several examine modern movies, including the highly-successful A Knight's Tale (Chaucer as a PR agent) and the much-derided First Knight (the Round...
