Shortly after meeting at Wellesley College, where Barr taught art history, and as Johnson...

ISBN: 9781472570505 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Nor has there been a deeper evaluation of the unspoken and historically-determined myths that assign cultural, symbolic, and economic value to architectural labor.

ISBN: 9781472449634 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The nineteenth century - the Era of the Interior - witnessed the steady displacement of art from the ceilings, walls, and floors of aristocratic and religious interiors to the everyday spaces of bourgeois households, subject to their own enhanced ornamentation.

Middlebrow and Gender, 1890-1945
ISBN: 9789004313361 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scholars of the middlebrow have demonstrated that the preferences and choices of both women writers and women readers have suffered considerably from the dismissive attitude of earlier critics. George Eliot's famous attack on 'Silly Novels by Lady Novelists' set the tone for the long tradition of gendered disputes over the literary merit of works of fiction - a controversy which eventually coalesced with a class-based hegemony of taste in the so-called Battle of the Brows. The new research presented in this volume demonstrates that this gendered inflection of the critical debate is not only...
