Intellectual Life of Edmund Burke: From the Sublime and Beautiful to American Independence
ISBN: 9780674729704 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. David Bromwich's portrait of statesman Edmund Burke (1730-1797) is the first biography to attend to the complexity of Burke's thought as it emerges in both the major writings and private correspondence. The public and private writings cannot be easily dissociated, nor should they be. For Burke--a thinker, writer, and politician--the principles of politics were merely those of morality enlarged. Bromwich reads Burke's career as an imperfect attempt to organize an honorable life in the dense medium he knew politics to be. This intellectual biography examines the first three decades of...

Medieval Celtic Literature: A Select Bibliography
ISBN: 9780802062529 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The focus of this bibliography is the native literary tradition expressed in Irish and Welsh verse and prose from the earliest time to circa 1450. Priority is given to the most recent critical works and editions, provided that they supersede previous ones; however, earlier scholarly work and critical editions of texts that are now regarded as classics are also included.

Disowned by Memory: Wordsworth's Poetry of the 1790s
ISBN: 9780226075570 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Although we know him as one of the greatest English poets, William Wordsworth might not have become a poet at all without the experience of personal and historical catastrophe in his youth. In "Disowned by Memory," David Bromwich connects the accidents of Wordsworth's life with the originality of his writing, showing how the poet's strong sympathy with the political idealism of the age and with the lives of the outcast and the dispossessed formed the deepest motive of his writings of the 1790s.
"This very Wordsworthian combination of apparently low subjects with extraordinary 'high... Although we know him as one of the greatest English poets, William Wordsworth might not have become a poet at all without the experience of personal a...

ISBN: 9780300059205 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Liberal education has been under siege in recent years. Far-right ideologues in journalism and government have pressed for a uniform curriculum that focuses on the achievements of Western culture.

In this eloquent and passionate book a distinguished scholar criticizes these positions and calls for a return to the tradition of independent thinking that he contends has been betrayed by both right and left. Under the guise of...
