ISBN: 9780199283330 / Angielski / Twarda / 566 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing Under Tyranny spans the boundaries between literary studies and history.

The Letters of William and Dorothy Wordsworth: Volume VIII: A Supplement of New Letters

Dorothy Wordsworth, by contrast, fills out all the details of domestic life which her brother thought it unnecessary to dwell on, and her letters add their own...

Romanticism and the Uses of Genre
ISBN: 9780199572748 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This wide-ranging and original book reappraises the role of genre, and genre theory, in British Romanticism. Analyzing numerous examples from 1760 to 1830, David Duff examines the generic innovations and experiments which propel the Romantic 'revolution in literature', but also the fascination with archaic forms such as the ballad, sonnet, and romance, whose revival and transformation make Romanticism a 'retro' movement as well as a revolutionary one. The tension between the drives to 'make it old' and to 'make it new' generates one of the most dynamic phases in the history of literature,...
