Literary and Linguistic Theories in Eighteenth-Century France : From Nuances to Impertinence
ISBN: 9780198160120 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Linguistic" theories in the eighteenth-century are also theories of literature and art, and it is probably better, therefore, to think of them as "aesthetic" theories. As such, they are answers to the age-old question "what is beauty?," but formulated, also, to respond to contemporary concerns. Edward Nye considers a wide range of authors from these two perspectives and draws the following conclusions: etymology is a theory of poetry, dictionaries of synonymy, prosody and metaphor are theories of preciosity, and Sensualism is a theory of artistic representation.

Latin Historians
ISBN: 9780199222933 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In more recent decades there has been a complete revolution in the way we read the historians of Greece and Rome. Their works have been shown to be quite different in nature from those of today's historians; instead, their techniques and assumptions have much in common with those of Homer or Virgil. Using these narratives as sources for ancient history has become more problematic than ever before, as we come to understand better how their style (the medium) and content (the message) shape each other. This book briefly introduces this revolution as it affects our reading of Latin historical...

The "disconnects" between Hittite and the other early Indo-European languages have been extensively explored, and scholars have realized that the conventional picture of the parent language must be modified to account for the facts of Hittite.

Equivocal Beings : Politics, Gender, and Sentimentality in the 1790s--Wollstonecraft, Radcliffe, Burney, Austen
ISBN: 9780226401843 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych.
