The question may be met with chagrin by traditionalists, but the identity of the Bard is not definitely decided.

This text presents the controversial argument for de Vere's authorship of the plays and poems attributed to Shakespeare, offering the available historical evidence and moreover the literary evidence to be found within the works. Divided into sections on the comedies and romances, the histories and...

Man Writes Dog: Canine Themes in Literature, Law and Folklore
ISBN: 9780786474974 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the millennia, many great writers, from Pliny and Plutarch to C.S. Lewis and John Steinbeck, have addressed diverse canine themes in their work, usually in a broader, human context. Late in the 20th century it was conclusively established by modern science that all dogs, without exception, are descended from wolves. Viewed within the dynamic lens of this new model, the constantly evolving relationship between humankind and canines, both wild and domesticated, appears more complex and intertwined than ever before. This survey reviews what 20 selected authors from the Western tradition...

Perpetua of Carthage: Portrait of a Third-Century Martyr
ISBN: 9780786437139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a study of the life and times of Saint Perpetua, Saint Felicity and their companions, all martyred at Carthage in A.D. 203.

Perpetua was also unusual in that she was wealthy, educated, married, and a young mother. The book includes the first English translations of French archaeological scholarship covering the discovery...

During the 20th century, its most prominent American exponents were the Germans Marlene Dietrich and Lotte Lenya, whose careers extended through the 1970s.

Major songwriters touched by cabaret include Lennon & McCartney, Bacharach & David, Kander & Ebb, Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, and Patti Smith, among many others....
