The Scriptures of Charles Dickens: Novels of Ideology, Novels of the Self
ISBN: 9781859284346 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study focuses on Dickens's response to questions of identity, conduct, and social organization that emerged in an era of major cultural unsettlement and change, not least with the decline of religious certainty and the rise of materialism. An analysis of A Christmas Carol as a paradigm of his concerns and strategies in these fields is followed by close readings of novels from different stages of his career, Oliver Twist, David Copperfield, Great Expectations and Our Mutual Friend. These, and other works by Dickens, are seen to reflect ideologies currently at work in his society but also,...

Reading and the Victorians
ISBN: 9781409440802 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What did reading mean to the Victorians? This question is the key point of departure for Reading and the Victorians, an examination of the era when reading underwent a swifter and more radical transformation than at any other moment in history. With book production handed over to the machines and mass education boosting literacy to unprecedented levels, the norms of modern reading were being established. Essays examine the impact of tallow candles on Victorian reading, the reading practices encouraged by Mudie's Select Library and feminist periodicals, the relationship between author and...

Serialization and the Novel in Mid-Victorian Magazines
ISBN: 9781472450906 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Examining the Victorian serial as a text in its own right, Catherine Delafield re-reads five novels by Elizabeth Gaskell, Anthony Trollope, Dinah Craik and Wilkie Collins by situating them in the context of periodical publication. She traces the roles of the author and editor in the creation and dissemination of the texts and considers how first publication affected the consumption and reception of the novel through the periodical medium. Delafield contends that a novel in volume form has been separated from its original context, that is, from the pattern of consumption and reception...

The Neglected Shelley
ISBN: 9781472465641 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. New editions and facsimiles of Percy Bysshe Shelley's works are changing the landscape of Shelley studies by making complete compositions and fragments that have received only limited critical attention readily available to scholars. Building on the work begun in Weinberg and Webb's 2009 volume, The Unfamiliar Shelley, The Neglected Shelley sheds light on the breadth and depth of Shelley's oeuvre, including the poet's earliest work, written when he was not yet twenty and was experimenting with gothic romances, and other striking forms of literary expression, such as two collections of...

Thackeray in Time: History, Memory, and Modernity
ISBN: 9781472414144 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An intense fascination with the experience of time has long been recognised as a distinctive feature of the writing of William Makepeace Thackeray (1811 1863). This collection of essays, however, represents the first sustained critical examination of Thackeray's 'time consciousness' in all its varied manifestations. Encompassing the full chronological span of the author's career and a wide range of literary forms and genres in which he worked, Thackeray in Time repositions Thackeray's temporal and historical self-consciousness in relation to the broader socio-cultural contexts of Victorian...
