Liberating Literature
ISBN: 9780415065153 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Cancelled Words : Rediscovering Thomas Hardy
ISBN: 9780415068253 / Angielski / Twarda / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The manuscript of Hardy's first great novel Far From the Madding Crowd vanished shortly after its first publication. Rediscovered in 1918 it sheds remarkable new light on the whole of Hardy's work. The manuscript pages, some of which are reproduced here in facsimile, reveal Hardy's original composition in the novel, and the reluctantly cancelled words which were the result of a long struggle with Sir Leslie Stephen, Hardy's editor. The book was originally commissioned as a rural piece, yet Hardy had other ideas, and author and editor battled over the novel's development. Morgan reveals that...

In Literature About Language Valerie Shepherd brings together linguistic theory and literary criticism and examines languages as a theme in a range of literary texts.

White Skins/Black Masks: Representation and Colonialism
ISBN: 9780415081481 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this exciting re-reading of the classic work of Haggard and Kipling, Gail Ching-Liang Low examines the representational dynamics of colonizer versus colonized.

Employing psychoanalysis, anthropology and postcolonial theory, Low analyzes the way in which fantasy and fabulation are caught up in networks of desire and power. White Skins/Black Masks is a fascinating entry...

The Rise of the Gothic Novel
ISBN: 9780415081825 / Angielski / Miękka / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the central images conjured up by the gothic novel is that of a shadowy spectre slowly rising from a mysterious abyss. In The Rise of the Gothic Novel, Maggie Kilgour argues that the ghost of the gothic is now resurrected in the critical methodologies which investigate it for the revelation of buried cultural secrets.
In this cogent analysis of the rise and fall of the gothic as a popular form, Kilgour juxtaposes the writings of William Godwin with Mary Wollstonecraft, and Ann Radcliffe with Matthew Lewis. She concludes with a close reading of the quintessential gothic... One of the central images conjured up by the gothic novel is that of a shadowy spectre slowly rising from a mysterious abyss.

ISBN: 9780415082211 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Language of Gender and Class challenges widely-held assumptions about the study of the Victorian novel. Lucid, multilayered and cogently argued, this volume will provoke debate and encourage students and scholars to rethink their views on ninteenth-century literature.
Examining six novels, Patricia Ingham demonstrates that none of the writers, male or female, easily accept stereotypes of gender and class.

Language of Gender and Class: Transformation in the Victorian Novel
ISBN: 9780415082228 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work examines in detail the widely accepted critical cliche examining the representation of gender always involves investigating the representation of class. Using historical material about class, it re-examines six major Victorian novels. Focusing upon language, the text explores how stereotypes of gender and class encode cultural myths that reinforce the social order. The author argues that none of the novelists considered, either male or female, completely accepts either the stereotyped figures or the authorized story. The figures of the angel and the whore are reassessed and modified...

This book explores the characteristics in the writing, marketing and reception of science fiction which distinguish it as a genre. Damien Broderick explores the postmodern self-referentiality of the sci-fi narrative, its intricate coded language and discursive encyclopaedia. He shows how, for perfect understanding, sci-fi readers must learn the codes of these imaginary worlds and vocabularies, all the time picking up references to texts by other writers.

Missing Persons: The Impossibility of Auto/Biography
ISBN: 9780415099752 / Angielski / Twarda / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Auto/biography is currently one of the most popular literary genres, widely supposed to illuminate the study of the individual and his or her personal circumstances. Missing Persons suggests that auto/biography is, in fact, based on fictions, both about the person and about what it is possible to know about any one individual.
Organised into chapters which consider particular kinds of auto/biographical writing, such as work on the British Royal Family and auto/biographies of twentieth-century men, this book demonstrates the absences and evasions - indeed the missing persons - of...
