Merchant of Venice
ISBN: 9780746310748 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 135 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. No play by Shakespeare is more problematical and subject to controversy than "The Merchant of Venice". Its portrayal, in its most memorable figure, of a Jewish money-lender who is full of bitterness and hatred, unrelenting in his pursuit of revenge against those he considers his enemies, can stir up feelings of unease and guilt in Jews and non-Jews alike, confronted in performance or in the printed text with this threatening embodiment of the Other. By examining the critical and stage history of the play, this study shows how directors, actors, and literary critics have sought by various...

The Myth of Rome in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries
ISBN: 9780521196567 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When Cleopatra expresses a desire to die 'after the high Roman fashion', acting in accordance with 'what's brave, what's noble', Shakespeare is suggesting that there are certain values that are characteristically Roman. The use of the terms 'Rome' and 'Roman' in Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, or Jonson's Sejanus often carry the implication that most people fail to live up to this ideal of conduct, that very few Romans are worthy of the name. Chernaik demonstrates how, in these plays, Roman values are held up to critical scrutiny. The plays of Shakespeare, Jonson, Massinger and Chapman...

The Poet's Time: Politics and Religion in the Work of Andrew Marvell
ISBN: 9780521129336 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book unites the disciplines of literature and history in an attempt to set the writings of Andrew Marvell in their seventeenth-century context of revolutionary upheaval and counter-revolution. Marvell is seen as a representative figure, illustrating the problems the intellectual inevitably faces when he enters the political arena. Dr Chernaik traces the evolution of Marvell's writings from impartiality to political engagement under the pressure of events. He shows in the earlier part of the book how both 'An Horatian Ode' and 'Upon Appleton House', two of the greatest political poems in...

Milton and the Burden of Freedom
ISBN: 9781107153189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout his writings, Milton, deeply engaged in political and theological controversy, sought to clear a space for human freedom in a world ruled by an omniscient and omnipotent deity. Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes, as well as other works by Milton in verse and prose, explore the problematical aspects of a universe ruled by an Old Testament God of wrath, demanding obedience, who allows his creatures the freedom to be 'authors' of their own fate. Milton and the Burden of Freedom examines the contradictions inherent in Milton's religious, political, and ethical beliefs as expressed in...

ISBN: 9780521855075 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's history plays, as fresh today as when they were written, are based upon the assumption that time is not simply a destroyer but a preserver, and that 'examples past' might enable us to understand the present and anticipate the future. This lively 2007 study examines the continuing tradition of Shakespeare's history plays in stage and film productions as well as giving an account of the critical debate on these plays. Following two introductory chapters giving essential background on the genre, the English history plays are discussed in turn, bringing out the distinctive...

The Art of Detective Fiction
ISBN: 9780312229894 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. In the hands of many of the great writers, the unravelling of mystery is only one strand within a complex project. Other things get unravelled, too - the belief in a rationally explicable world, in the beneficent, ordering force of culture and civilization. Constantly the detective story delights in muddying the waters, in acknowledging the omnipresent possibilities of anarchy and carnage. As a genre, it is supremely able to combine popular appeal with the ability to disturb, provoke and challenge the reader. The essays in this volume all pay tribute to, and seek to account for, the...
