De la satire en France au moyen-âge
ISBN: 9781517285203 / Francuski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. " Le pere de la poesie moderne, Dante Alighieri, a jete sur la critique un de ces regards qui portent la lumiere. Il a divise hardiment tout le champ de la poesie en deux parts: la tragedie et la comedie. La question de forme n'est pour rien dans ce partage: chant, recit ou dialogue, peu lui importe. La tragedie n'est pas pour lui le drame; la comedie peut n'avoir rien de commun avec le theatre. Ce ne sont plus des genres litteraires, mais des points de vue philosophiques...""

Far-Fetched Facts is a fascinating look at travel literature, both real and imaginary, from classical times, via early accounts of the new world, to later accounts of the South Sea islands that lay beyond. Rennie traces continuities from the Odyssey to the twentieth century, and stresses the interplay of fact and fiction in a literature with a notorious tendency to stray from the truth. In the process, he provides close readings of various accounts of the mutiny on the Bounty as well as writings by and about Cook, Bougainville, Defoe, Swift, Byron, Melville, Loti, and Stevenson.

What Is Pastoral?
ISBN: 9780226015170 / Angielski / Miękka / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the enduring traditions of Western literary history, pastoral is often mischaracterized as a catchall for literature about rural themes and nature in general. In "What Is Pastoral?," distinguished literary historian Paul Alpers argues that pastoral is based upon a fundamental fiction that the lives of shepherds or other socially humble figures represent the lives of human beings in general.
Ranging from Virgil's "Eclogues" to Sarah Orne Jewett's "The Country of the Pointed Firs," from Shakespeare and Cervantes to Hardy and Frost, this work brings the story of the pastoral...

Gay Cuban Nation
ISBN: 9780226041742 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. With "Gay Cuban Nation," Emilio Bejel looks at Cuba's markedly homoerotic culture through writings about homosexuality, placing them in the social and political contexts that led up to the Cuban Revolution. By reading against the grain of a wide variety of novels, short stories, autobiographies, newspaper articles, and films, Bejel maps out a fascinating argument about the way in which different attitudes toward power and nationalism struggle for an authoritative stance on homosexual issues. Through close readings of writers such as Jose Marti, Alfonso Hernandez-Cata, Carlos Montenegro, Jose...

Flori, a Pastoral Drama: A Bilingual Edition
ISBN: 9780226092232 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the first pastoral dramas published by an Italian woman, Flori is Maddalena Campiglia's most substantial surviving literary work and one of the earliest known examples of secular dramatic writing by a woman in Europe. Although acclaimed in her day, Campiglia (1553-95) has not benefited from the recent wave of scholarship that has done much to enhance the visibility and reputation of contemporaries such as Isabella Andreini, Moderata Fonte, and Veronica Franco. As this bilingual, first-ever critical edition of Flori illustrates, this neglect is decidedly unwarranted. Flori is a work of...

Threads of Life: Autobiography and the Will
ISBN: 9780226261430 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many autobiographers share profound questions about human life with their readers - questions like: To what extent was my life imposed on me? To what extent did I bring it about through particular choices and actions, through the acivity of my own will? Indeed, the issue of will is central to autobiographical writing, and some of the greatest autobiographies give extended consideration to the will - its nature, its powers and its limitations.

The Insatiability of Human Wants: Economics and Aesthetics in Market Society
ISBN: 9780226278537 / Angielski / Twarda / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What is the relationship between our conception of humans as producers or creators; as consumers of taste and pleasure; and as creators of value? Combining cultural history, economics, and literary criticism, Regenia Gagnier's new work traces the parallel development of economic and aesthetic theory, offering a shrewd reading of humans as workers and wanters, born of labor and desire.
"The Insatiability of Human Wants" begins during a key transitional moment in aesthetic and economic theory, 1871, when both disciplines underwent a turn from production to consumption models. In economics,... What is the relationship between our conception of humans as producers or creators; as consumers of taste and pleasure; and as creators of value? Comb...

Professing Literature: An Institutional History
ISBN: 9780226305592 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Widely considered the standard history of the profession of literary studies, "Professing Literature" unearths the long-forgotten ideas and debates that created the literature department as we know it today. In a readable and often-amusing narrative, Gerald Graff shows that the heated conflicts of our recent culture wars echo and often recycle controversies over how literature should be taught that began more than a century ago.
Updated with a new preface by the author that addresses many of the provocative arguments raised by its initial publication, "Professing Literature" remains an...

Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns: Works and Days/Theogony/The Homeric Hymns/The Battle of the Frogs and the Mice
ISBN: 9780226329666 / Angielski / Miękka / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Winner of the 2005 Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets.
In "Works of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns," highly acclaimed poet and translator Daryl Hine brings to life the words of Hesiod and the world of Archaic Greece. While most available versions of these early Greek writings are rendered in prose, Hine's illuminating translations represent these early classics as they originally appeared, in verse. Since prose was not invented as a literary medium until well after Hesiod's time, presenting these works as poems more closely approximates not only the...

The Division of Literature: Or the University in Deconstruction
ISBN: 9780226423241 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Where does the university begin and the "outside" end? How has literature become established as a separate domain within the university? Demonstrating that these questions of division are intricately related, Peggy Kamuf explores the space that the university devotes to the study of literature.
Kamuf begins by analyzing the complex history of literary study within the modern university, critically reading developments from the French Revolution through the nineteenth century and beyond in Europe. She then turns to one of the most troubling works in the American literary canon Melville's... Where does the university begin and the "outside" end?

This work is the first history and evaluation of contemporary American critical theory within its European philosophical contexts. In the first part, Frank Lentricchia analyzes the impact on our critical thought of Frye, Stevens, Kermode, Sartre, Poulet, Heidegger, Sussure, Barthes, Levi-Strauss, Derrida, and Foucault, among other, less central figures.

Hirsch, Jr., Paul de Man, and Harold Bloom--and an analysis of their careers within the lineage established in part one....
