The Age of the Crisis of Man : Thought and Fiction in America, 1933-1973
ISBN: 9780691146393 / Twarda / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a midcentury American cultural episode forgotten today, intellectuals of all schools shared a belief that human nature was under threat. The immediate result was a glut of dense, abstract books on the "nature of man." But the dawning "age of the crisis of man," as Mark Greif calls it, was far more than a historical curiosity. In this ambitious intellectual and literary history, Greif recovers this lost line of thought to show how it influenced society, politics, and culture before, during, and long after World War II. During the 1930s and 1940s, fears of the barbarization of...

Autobiography and Questions of Gender
ISBN: 9781138941991 / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Originally published in 1991. Addressing the ways in which the ideology of gender and its social construction determine autobiographical self-representations, the essays here consider several women’s works in the light of the social and historical conditions which enabled their production. Some examine diaries as a feminine form and ask about the ways in which thematic content such as childbirth can or cannot be represented in diaries and public discourse at different historical junctures. Others show the pressures of gender roles and how they have led to new genres in which... Originally published in 1991.

Ecological Poetics; Or, Wallace Stevens's Birds
ISBN: 9780226687834 / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The poems of Wallace Stevens teem with birds: grackles, warblers, doves, swans, nightingales, owls, peacocks, and one famous blackbird who summons thirteen ways of looking. What do Stevens's evocations of birds, and his poems more generally, tell us about the relationship between human and nonhuman? In this book, the noted theorist of posthumanism Cary Wolfe argues for a philosophical and theoretical reinvention of ecological poetics, using Stevens as a test case. Stevens, Wolfe argues, is an ecological poet in the sense that his places, worlds, and environments are co-created by the life...

Death in Herman Melville's Fiction: Melville's "Memento Mori
ISBN: 9781680531954 / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Naturally, the works of such authors as Charles Brockden Brown, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, Kate Chopin, Shirley Jackson, and Stephen King, among countless others, go to great lengths to support this observation; however, the renowned nineteenth-century American literary giant Herman Melville, most famous as the author of Moby Dick, has been frequently overlooked. In this book, seasoned literary scholar Corey Evan Thompson seeks to remedy this...
