Women, Texts and Histories 1575-1760
ISBN: 9780415053709 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The shared aim of these important new critical interventions into the early modern period is to make fresh feminist attempts to uncover the writings of Elizabethan and Jacobean women. Subject to silence, censorship and manipulation in the terms of overriding political concerns of the day, the feminist history of the early modern period is still a largely unwritten story. New feminist analysis can expose the conditions of production in which the history of the period was constructed: this revealing collection thereby exposes the untold stories which underpin the official texts. By beginning to...

Of Chastity and Power: Elizabethan Literature and the Unmarried Queen
ISBN: 9780415056724 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through readings of key Elizabethan texts by Lyly, Ralegh, Chapman, Shakespeare and Spenser, this text shows that while Elizabeth I's combination of chastity with political and religious power was repeatedly idealized, it was also perceived as extremely disturbing. The figure of the unmarried queen implicitly challenged the masculine focus of Renaissance discourses of love, philosophy and absolutist political ideology.

Oppositional Voices : Women as Writers and Translators in the English Renaissance
ISBN: 9780415063296 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Oppositional Voices is a study of women writers in the late Elizabethan period. Until the early 1980s it was generally assumed that women did not write any books during the Renaissance. Virginia Woolf wondered why no woman wrote a word of extraordinary literature when every other man, it seemed, was capable of song or sonnet'. The women discussed in this book did write some of that extraordinary literature'. Ignoring Renaissance society's injunction that women should confine themselves to religious compositions, they wrote poetry, drama and romantic fiction. They even voiced opposition to...

Men and Women Writers of the 1930s: The Dangerous Flood of History
ISBN: 9780415068925 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Men and Women Writers of the 1930s is a searching critique of the issues of memory and gender during this dynamic decade. Montefiore asks two principle questions; what part does memory play in the political literature of and about 1930s Britain? And what were the roles of women, both as writers and as signifying objects in constructing that literature?
Montefiore's topical analysis of 1930s mass unemployment, fascist uprise and 'appeasement' is shockingly relevant in society today. Issues of class, anti-fascist historical novels, post war memoirs of 'Auden generation' writers and...

Colonial Narratives/Cultural Dialogues : 'Discoveries' of India in the Language of Colonialism
ISBN: 9780415085199 / Angielski / Miękka / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is an entry into current debates within English, Shakespearean and post-colonial studies. Using Shakespeare as a case in point, Singh shows how the study of English literature was implicated in the ideology of the empires in colonies such as India. In the modern post-independence era, she argues, such literary studies continue to promote western and neo-colonial culture among the English-speaking elite classes. Combining in-depth research with theory, this volume generates debates about the link between culture and politics.

Changing States: Transformations in Modern Irish Writing
ISBN: 9780415093613 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Changing States, Robert Welch examines the work of the major authors of modern Irish literature in the context of the transformation from Gaelic to 20th-century post-industrial culture. The force of Irish writing, uniting authors as various as Yeats, Heaney, Synge, Beckett, Joyce and Mairtin O' Cadhain, largely derives, Welch argues, from their need to respond to the challenges of this transformation. Writing against a sense of loss, their work is distinguished by certain key features: an intense awareness of the power of language; a provisionality in regard to character; a preoccupation...

Unediting the Renaissance: Shakespeare, Marlowe and Milton
ISBN: 9780415100533 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Did Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew ever stay untamed? Many readers and students do not recognize the extent to which modern standard editions of Shakespeare, Milton, Marlowe and other Renaissance authors have been filtered through 18th-century and Victorian sensibilities. This volume reveals the array of possibilities opened up by unediting these texts. It shows how much the texts of early modern authors have altered and rigidified over time. It also demonstrates how modern interpretations and performances of such works can be injected with new energy by a recognition of the...

Shakespeare and the Uses of Antiquity: An Introductory Essay
ISBN: 9780415104265 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although a third of his plays are set in the ancient world and he constantly used classical mythology, history, and ideas, Shakespeare received a simple grammar school education and did not have a scholar's knowledge of the classics. The critical implications of this are the subject of Shakespeare and the Uses of Antiquity . Against a recent academic tendency to exaggerate Shakespeare's learning, the authors investigate how he used his comparatively restricted knowledge to create, for example, an unusually convincing picture of Rome, and analyse, by presenting us with careful readings of...
