ISBN: 9780472036356 / Angielski / Miękka / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.
While breast cancer continues to affect the lives of millions, contemporary writers and artists have responded to the ravages of the disease in creative expression. Mary K. DeShazer's book looks specifically at breast cancer memoirs and photographic narratives, a category she refers to as mammographies, signifying both the imaging technology by which most Western women discover they have this disease and the documentary imperatives that drive their written and visual accounts of it. Mammographies argues that breast cancer narratives of the past ten years differ from...

Aristophanes and Women (Routledge Revivals)
ISBN: 9781138018594 / Angielski / Miękka / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

It is argued that modern students, scholars, and dramatists need to consider much more closely the conditions of the plays ancient productions when evaluating their ostensible themes. Three plays are focused upon: "Lysistrata," "Thesmophoriazusae," and "Ecclesiazusae." All seem to speak quite eloquently to contemporary concerns about women s rights, the value of women s...

Gender and the Fictions of the Public Sphere, 1690-1755
ISBN: 9780415541329 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Challenging the longstanding interpretation of the early English public sphere as polite, inclusive, and egalitarian this book re-interprets key texts by representative male authors from the period-Addison, Steele, Shaftesbury, and Richardson-as reactionary responses to the widely-consumed and surprisingly subversive work of women writers such as Mary Astell, Delarivier Manley, and Eliza Haywood, whose political and journalistic texts have up until now received little scholarly consideration. By analyzing a wide range of materials produced between the 1690s to the 1750s, Pollock exposes a...

Male Mythologies: John Fowles and Masculinity
ISBN: 9781492984849 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Fowles is one of the most significant British novelists of the second half of the twentieth century, exploring the possibilities and limits of individual freedom in narratives which challenge, startle and entertain with their virtuosity. Influenced by existentialism and a newly-emergent wave of feminism, his depictions of men, male power and masculinity expose the inherrent contradictions lived out not just by his characters, but also himself as a male novelist. While laying bare masculinity as a social and cultural construct, Fowles also dramatises his own contradictory status as part...
