The Merchant of Modernism: The Economic Jew in Anglo-American Literature, 1864-1939
ISBN: 9780415941099 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. The Merchant of Modernism examines how the figure of the economic Jew symbolizes the struggle of authors from Dickens to Pound to reconcile their critique of capitalism with their own literary practices; this shifting figure parallels the development of literary modernism. Examining the historically intense ambivalence towards the economic Jew becomes a way of reconciling post-Marxist literary and cultural theory with the neo-classical synthesis of mainstream economics. This approach also provides a model for the study of ethnic hatred directed at all middleman economic groups.

Conrad's Narratives of Difference: Not Exactly Tales for Boys
ISBN: 9780415966771 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18 dni roboczych. In Joseph Conrad s tales, representations of women and of "feminine" generic forms like the romance are often present in fugitive ways. Conrad s use of allegorical feminine imagery, fleet or deferred introductions of female characters, and hybrid generic structures that combine features of "masculine" tales of adventure and intrigue and "feminine" dramas of love or domesticity are among the subjects of this literary study. Many of Conrad s critics have argued that Conrad s fictions are aesthetically flawed by the inclusion of women and love plots; thus Thomas Moser has questioned why...
