The courtship letters of Emily Dickinson's parents identify issues of vital importance to the poet's parents which influenced Dickinson's subsequent development.

A Historical Guide to Emily Dickinson
ISBN: 9780195151350 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of America's most celebrated women, Emily Dickinson was virtually unpublished in her own time and unknown to the public at large. Yet since the first publication of a limited selection of her poems in 1890, she has emerged as one of the most challenging and rewarding writers of all time. Born into a prosperous family in small town Amherst, Massachusetts, she had an above average education for a woman, attending a private high school and then Mount Holyoke Female Seminary, now Mount Holyoke College. Returning to Amherst to her loving family and her "feast" in the reading line, in the 1850s...

Our Emily Dickinsons: American Women Poets and the Intimacies of Difference
ISBN: 9780812248449 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For Vivian R. Pollak, Emily Dickinson's work is an extended meditation on the risks of social, psychological, and aesthetic difference that would be taken up by the generations of women poets who followed her.

The Erotic Whitman
ISBN: 9780520221901 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative analysis of Whitman's exemplary quest for happiness, Vivian Pollak skillfully explores the intimate relationships that contributed to his portrayal of masculinity in crisis. She maintains that in representing himself as a characteristic nineteenth-century American and in proposing to heal national ills, Whitman was trying to temper his own inner conflicts as well. The poet's expansive vision of natural eroticism and of unfettered comradeship between democratic equals was, however, only part of the story. As Whitman waged a conscious campaign to challenge misogynistic...

New Essays on 'Daisy Miller' and 'The Turn of the Screw'
ISBN: 9780521426817 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Daisy Miller and The Turn of the Screw may be Henry James's most widely read tales. Certainly, these swiftly moving accounts of failed connections are among the best examples of his shorter fiction. One represents the international theme that made him famous; the other exemplifies the multiple meanings that make him modern. The introduction to this 1993 volume locates his fiction in the context of the family that conditioned his concern with the sexual politics of intimate experience. In the four essays that follow, Kenneth Graham offers a close reading of Daisy with an emphasis on Daisy;...
