ISBN: 9780691141107 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Social theories of modernity focus on the nineteenth century as the period when Western Europe was transformed by urbanization.

Newman challenges the notion of a rupture... Social theories of modernity focus on the nineteenth century as the period when Western Europe was transformed by urbanization. Cities became thriv... |

Jane Austen
ISBN: 9780746308769 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. By assessing what was original in Jane Austen's fictional technique in the context of the history of the novel, Robert Miles takes a fresh look at how Austen came to be constructed as a model of Englishness. For many readers Jane Austen is the quintessential English author. Jane Austen sets out to explore the history of this identification with Englishness in the context of a tradition of criticism that has frequently tried to achieve the reverse: to establish her difference, and distance, from 'us'. Rather than simply showing how Austen differs from the heritage, Jane Austen argues that many...
