The Changing Face of Death: Historical Accounts of Death and Disposal
ISBN: 9781349253029 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The taboo on death is at last breaking down.

British Poetry in the Age of Modernism
ISBN: 9780521853934 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. If Modernist poetry dominated the early twentieth century, what did it mean for British poets like Thomas Hardy, Edward Thomas and Wilfred Owen not to be Modernist? This is the first critical account of how non-Modernist poetry responded to the Modernist revolution. Peter Howarth uncovers the origins of the battles over poetic style still being fought today, and connects the early twentieth-century controversy about poetic form with contemporary social and political developments and the trauma of the First World War. Howarth argues that at the heart of the division between modern and...
