Ornamental Aesthetics: The Poetry of Attending in Thoreau, Dickinson, and Whitman
ISBN: 9780190467517 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ornamental Aesthetics offers a theory of ornamentation as a manner of marking out objects for notice, attention, praise, and a means of exploring qualities of mental engagement other than interpretation and representation.

Theo Davis argues that this essential quality of ornamentation has been...

Transformations of Domesticity in Modern Women's Writing: Homelessness at Home
ISBN: 9781349416035 / Angielski / Miękka / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Transformations of Domesticity in Modern Women's Writing makes new connections between feminist criticism of domestic ideology in the nineteenth century, modernist women's experiments with literary form, contemporary feminist debates about the politics of location, and postmodern theories of social space. The book identifies a coherent transition of women's writing that transforms domestic ideologies of 'woman's place' by redefining the ideas about space that underlie that ideology. The result is to open the space of gender identity to new relations of class and race.

Romantic Consciousness: Blake to Mary Shelley
ISBN: 9781349508662 / Angielski / Miękka / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

In the first of two studies, John Beer traces this question in writings by Blake, Coleridge and Wordsworth, and the impact of their ideas on successors such as Keats, De Quincey, Byron and the Shelleys. Relevance to later figures such as the Cambridge Apostles and Tennyson is also discussed.
