Dark Assemblages: Pilar Pedraza and the Gothic Story of Development
ISBN: 9781611486728 / Angielski / Twarda / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines strategies of transformation (becomings, image-making, and the phantasmagoric) that figure in four stories and a novel by Gothic fiction writer Pilar Pedraza (Spain, 1951). While critics have long associated the Bildungsroman with Gothic fiction, this study takes a close look at the developmental process itself: the means by which a protagonist, young or old, might transcend a deprived status to achieve a complete sense of self. Pedraza's works imply that, regardless of the path followed, a character's ability to think differently is crucial to progress. The fixed image,...

ISBN: 9781138915862 / Angielski / Twarda / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Tropical Gothic examines Gothic within a specific geographical area of 'the South' of the Americas.

The reflections on national traditions of the Gothic in this volume add to the critical body of literature on specific languages or particular nations, such as...

Gothic and Racism
ISBN: 9780993995149 / Angielski / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gothic is a culture of alterity: it explores the Other and it posits itself as an Other. It found its roots in the concerted efforts of eighteenth-century authors who longed for the simple and exciting plotlines of mediaeval romances. At the same time, they were careful to populate other countries and/or other eras with ghosts, vampires, and monstrous villains. More recently, Gothic studies have flourished alongside a plethora of Gothic fiction, movies, and TV shows. These new works employ the genre's conventional themes and cast of characters, while adding new features for new audiences. The...

A New Scene of Thought, Studies in Romantic Realism
ISBN: 9789004308169 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eighteenth-century literature is often associated with the birth of the realistic novel, just as the Romantic movement is often associated with intellectual idealism. This study asks its readers to reconsider and perhaps even to invert impressions like these. It re-examines English Romantic literature in the light of a profound shift of realistic understanding, going beyond the empirical representation of people and objects into new and bold explorations of moral psychology.

Balzac et consorts: Scénographies familiales des conflits historiques dans le roman du XIXe siècle
ISBN: 9789004217928 / Francuski / Miękka / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Balzac et consorts. Scenographies familiales des conflits historiques dans le roman du XIXe siecle presente un ensemble d'etudes qui mettent en evidence la facon dont le microcosme de la famille tel que le roman du XIXe siecle le met en scene reflete les principaux conflits historiques de l'epoque. Sous l'egide de Balzac, chez qui le roman fictionnalise exemplairement le rapport a l'Histoire, ces romans ne sont pas abordes comme une source documentaire mais bien comme le lieu d'une Histoire en actes dont les ondes de choc se propagent jusqu'au coeur de l'intime. Dans ce contexte, la...

The Concept of the Soul in Marcel Proust; Homophilia, Misogyny, and the Time-Memory Correlative
ISBN: 9781433131899 / Angielski / Twarda / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The concept of the soul in Platonic, Ciceronian, and Talmudic thought segues into the Celtic tradition, Thomas Aquinas, and Maeterlinck and threads its way through the tapestry of Proust's narrative and his principal characters. Bette H. Lustig uses a hermeneutic approach to the Proust texts, which are cited in French, and provides the analyses of the texts in English. Themes treating the soul include metempsychosis (transmigration), imprisonment and deliverance, eroticism and sadism, homophilia and misogyny, and time and memory. Moreover, the Celtic tradition is evident in the metempsychosis...

Tales of Berlin in American Literature up to the 21st Century
ISBN: 9789004312081 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Of all European cities, Americans today are perhaps most curious about Berlin, whose position in the American imagination is an essential component of nineteenth-century, postwar and contemporary transatlantic imagology. Over various periods, Berlin has been a tenuous space for American claims to cultural heritage and to real geographic space in Europe, symbolizing the ultimate evil and the power of redemption. This volume offers a comprehensive examination of the city's image in American literature from 1840 to the present. Tracing both a history of Berlin and of American culture through the...

Routledge Library Editions: Percy Shelley
ISBN: 9781138654761 / Angielski / Twarda / 1182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Percy Shelley is widely considered one of the most important Romantic poets of the 19th Century and was a key influence on the Victorian and pre-Raphaelite poets in the century following his death in 1822. However, for many years his writing was largely ignored in the mainstream due to the radical politics he espoused and it is only in relatively recent times he has become universally admired. Routledge Library Editions: Percy Shelley collects a broad range of scholarship ranging from examinations of Shelley s style and political intentions to an assessment of his impact on the broader...

Romantic Ecocriticism: Origins and Legacies
ISBN: 9781498518017 / Angielski / Twarda / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Romantic Ecocriticism: Origins and Legacies is unique due to its rare assemblage of essays, which has not appeared within an edited collection before. Romantic Ecocriticism is distinct because the essays in the collection develop transnational and transhistorical approaches to the proto-ecological early environmental aspects in British and American Romanticism. First, the edition s transnational approach is evident through transatlantic connections such as, but are not limited to, comparisons among the following writers: William Wordsworth, William Howitt, and Henry D. Thoreau; John Clare and...

The Dangerous Lover: Gothic Villians, Byronism, and the Nineteenth-Century Seduction Narrative
ISBN: 9780814252864 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The dangerous lover has haunted our culture for over two hundred years; English, American, and European literature is permeated with his erotic presence. "The Dangerous Lover" takes seriously the ubiquity of the brooding romantic hero-his dark past, his remorseful and rebellious exile from comfortable everyday living. Deborah Lutz traces the recent history of this figure, through the melancholy iconoclasm of the Romantics, the lost soul redeemed by love of the Brontes, and the tormented individualism of twentieth-century love narratives. Arguing for this character's central influence not only...
