Henry James and the Second Empire
ISBN: 9781906540074 / Angielski / Twarda / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Three years spent in France, during the 'Second Empire' of Napoleon III, gave Henry James an early mastery of the French language and its literature. When he settled in Europe, as an adult, it was not in Britain but, briefly yet crucially, in Paris. This study identifies the 'missing link' in the history of James's literary engagement with France, between Balzac, revered throughout his career, and later French writers. It was Second Empire writers who spurred James's own contribution to the novel. While realism courted official displeasure, culminating in the prosecution of Flaubert's Madame...

The Double Binds of Ethics After the Holocaust: Salvaging the Fragments

The Double Binds of Ethics after the Holocaust sheds new light on the ethical repercussions of the Nazi genocide against the Jews.

Second, the Holocaust and subsequent genocides have destroyed confidence that human beings will fulfill their moral obligations better "next time." Responding to these double binds, the contributors to this book explore what can be done in ethical theory and...

Fifty Poems of Hafiz
ISBN: 9780521101509 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. H fiz, the greatest lyric poet of Persia, was first introduced to English readers in the translation by Sir William Jones in the latter half of the eighteenth century.

Paradoxes of Conscience in the High Middle Ages: Abelard, Heloise and the Archpoet
ISBN: 9780521519113 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The autobiographical and confessional writings of Abelard, Heloise and the Archpoet were concerned with religious authenticity, spiritual sincerity and their opposite - fictio, a composite of hypocrisy and dissimulation, lying and irony. How and why moral identity could be feigned or falsified were seen as issues of primary importance, and Peter Godman here restores them to the prominence they once occupied in twelfth-century thought. This book is an account of the relationship between ethics and literature in the work of the most famous authors of the Latin Middle Ages. Combining conceptual...

The Cervantean Heritage: Reception and Influence of Cervantes in Britain
ISBN: 9781906540036 / Angielski / Twarda / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many critics regard Cervantes's Don Quixote as the most influential literary book on British literature. Indeed the impact on British authors was immense, as can be seen from 17th-century plays by Fletcher, Massinger and Beaumont, through the great 18th-century novels of Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, and Lennox, and on into more modern and contemporary novelists. 20th-century critics, fascinated by Cervantes, were moved to write what we now see as the classical works of Cervantes scholarship.
Through their previous publications, the eminent contributors to this volume have helped to... Many critics regard Cervantes's Don Quixote as the most influential literary book on British literature. Indeed the impact on British authors was imme...
