Representing Violence in France, 1760-1820
ISBN: 9780729410762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 299 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Violence was an inescapable part of people’s daily lives in eighteenth-century France. The Revolution in general and the Terror in particular were marked by intense outbursts of political violence, whilst the abuse of wives, children and servants was still rife in the home. But the representation of violence in its myriad forms remains aesthetically troublesome. Drawing on correspondence, pamphlets, novels and plays, authors analyse the portrayal of violence as a rational act, the basis of (re)written history, an expression of institutional power, and a challenge to morality....

R.S. Thomas: Serial Obsessive
ISBN: 9780708326138 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During his lifetime, R. S. Thomas (1913-2000) achieved notoriety as the Ogre of Wales, a Welsh extremist, and a poet of serial obsessions. This volume explores those elements that fueled Thomas's fiercely intense imagination, including Wales, his family, and his vexed relationship with religion, as well as with his best-known character, Iago Prytherch. Here, these familiar obsessions are set in several unusual contexts that bring his poetry into new relief: his war poems are considered alongside his early work focusing on the English topographical tradition; comparisons with Borges and...

In the Shadow of the Pulpit : Literature and Nonconformist Wales
ISBN: 9780708322253 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since the earliest days of language, writers and preachers have been locked in a struggle for power and authority. In the Shadow of the Pulpit shows how that struggle has been at the heart of Welsh writing for more than two centuries, intimately shaping the English-language literature produced in Wales in that time. It traces the growing literary response to the power of Welsh Nonconformity from the eighteenth century onwards, and it also uncovers a whole new body of nineteenth-century fiction from Wales. Since the earliest days of language, writers and preachers have been locked in a struggle for power and authority. In the Shadow of the Pulpit |

Nations of Wales: 1890-1914
ISBN: 9781783168385 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Certain simple and stereotypical images of Wales strike an immediate chord with the public, both in Wales itself and beyond its borders. The first monograph to explore this period in Welsh history, The Nations of Wales argues that several competing images of Welshness were put in circulation during the Victorian and Edwardian decades, and proceeds to examine several of the most influential of these as they took the form of literary texts. With this book, M. Wynn Thomas opens up a period in Welsh cultural history that has been almost completely overlooked.

Sade's Theatre: Pleasure, Vision, Masochism
ISBN: 9780729409032 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 233 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sade’s rehabilitation as a major Enlightenment writer has hitherto not extended to a re-evaluation of his dramatic works. With a theoretical framework inspired by psychoanalysis and dramatic theory, and attentive to eighteenth-century theoretical debates, Thomas Wynn demonstrates the value of these neglected works. This is the first study to consider the nature and implications of Sade’s dramatic aesthetic, and to define the erotic quality of spectatorship in his experimental plays. Challenging the assumption that the gaze is sadistic, the author uses insights from film theory to argue...

How to Think Like a Neandertal
ISBN: 9780199742820 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. There have been many books, movies, and even TV commercials featuring Neandertals--some serious, some comical. But what was it really like to be a Neandertal? How were their lives similar to or different from ours? In How to Think Like a Neandertal, archaeologist Thomas Wynn and psychologist Frederick L. Coolidge team up to provide a brilliant account of the mental life of Neandertals, drawing on the most recent fossil and archaeological remains. Indeed, some Neandertal remains are not fossilized, allowing scientists to recover samples of their genes--one specimen had the gene for red hair...

All That Is Wales: The Collected Essays of M. Wynn Thomas
ISBN: 9781786830883 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Wales is small geographically, but its rich and varied culture belies its size.

Contributors include Lynette Roberts, who is Argentinian by birth but of Welsh decent; Peggy Ann Whistler, who chose a new Welsh identity as Margiad Evans; Nigel Heseltine, whose bizarre stories of the decaying squirearchy of the Welsh border country remain sadly little known; and Utah-based poet Leslie Norris, whose Welsh-English translations bring out the bicultural character...

The Lunar Light of Whitman's Poetry
ISBN: 9780674539525 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 313 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Walt Whitman stands freshly illuminated in this powerful portrait of the poet responding to his times. Whitman's idealistic expectations of democracy were painfully eroded by the rapidly expanding urban capitalism that, before the Civil War, increasingly threatened the economic and political power of the ordinary American. His poetry during this, his most fruitful period, became the indispensable medium allowing him to adjust to these developments. He succeeded in portraying this modern society as an invigorating natural extension of the artisanal order. After the war, however,...
