The Genius of Parody: Imitation and Originality in Seventeenth- And Eighteenth-Century English Literature
ISBN: 9780230008564 / Angielski / Twarda / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The stigmatisation of parody as "the worst enemy" of creativity has been pervasive in our literary culture. Although recent theoretical approaches have compelled critics to rethink many received notions regarding the significance of contemporary parodic activity, the perception remains that parody existed only on the disreputable margins of earlier literary cultures. This study places parody firmly (if paradoxically) where it belongs: at the centre of the literary-creative process in much of the literature of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
