The Failure of Gothic : Problems of Disjunction in an Eighteenth-Century Literary Form
ISBN: 9780198128601 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The English Gothic novel has recently attracted renewed attention by modern critics who have argued its importance as a mirror of late 18th-century discomfort with the political, psychological, and sexual climate of the times. Elizabeth Napier's work challenges these views, suggesting that the instability of the form may be more successfully addressed through a study of generic structure and its relationship to the designs of the fictional works that preceded it. The first full-length study of narrative conventions in the Gothic, The Failure of Gothic examines the disjunctive form of much...

The Poetry of Derek Mahon
ISBN: 9780199592623 / Miękka / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Derek Mahon is one of the leading poets of his time, both in Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is displaced from as much as grounded in his native country. From prodigious beginnings to prolific maturity, he has been, through thick and thin, through troubled times and other, a writer profoundly committed to the art of poetry and the craft of making verse. He has also been no-less a committed reviser of his work, believing the poem to be more than a record in verse, but a work of art never finished.
This virtuoso study by Hugh Haughton provides the most comprehensive... Derek Mahon is one of the leading poets of his time, both in Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is displaced from as much as gro...
