It has been fifty years since the Beats first came upon the literary scene and although the academy s hostility toward the Beats has not completely abated, it has certainly diminished.

The fourteen critical essays gathered in this collection verify that Jack Kerouac is still the undisputed king of the Beats followed by William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. At the same time, however, the Beat...

The book proposes that underwritten by the vast histories...

ISBN: 9783039109760 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study focuses on the work of D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930).

Hawthorne's Visual Artists and the Pursuit of a Transatlantic Aesthetics
ISBN: 9783039113682 / Angielski / Miękka / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Among Hawthorne s primary themes, the visual arts have usually been regarded as an afterthought and have only been examined to elucidate his own personal philosophy. Hawthorne s own contemporaries derided him for his mediocre aesthetics and that view has been taken as received wisdom up to the present day. This study reexamines Hawthorne s aesthetics, and suggests that he was much more familiar with the art and artists of the time than has previously been acknowledged by critics. He developed his own eclectic and transatlantic view of art, a view which incorporated decorative arts like...

Genre Variation in Business Letters; Second Printing
ISBN: 9783039116812 / Angielski / Miękka / 407 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The focus of this volume is on the business letter genre, a seminal and widely used genre in business communication. Since the introduction of the Internet, interest in this genre has increased once again, because of the digital format of the letter. E-mail has partially taken over the multiple functions of the traditional business letter and bypassed, again partially, the fax. However, the letter has also survived in its written form.
Since the 1990s, genre theory has been receiving a lot of attention, both in academic and pedagogical circles. Discourse analysts have increasingly...
