Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Making of a Myth: A Study in Portraiture, 1720-1892
ISBN: 9781611481501 / Angielski / Twarda / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The subject of this book-an Italian-born exiled Prince-has become an icon of misjudged romanticism and Scottish nationalism; much of this is due to the way he has been portrayed over the years. This study traces how the enduring visual image of Prince Charles Edward Stuart was created, beginning with his birth in 1720 and ending with the exhibition of John Pettie's Prince Charles Edward Stuart Entering the Ballroom at Holyrood - probably still the most enduring and popular image of the Stuart prince-at the Royal Academy in 1892. This book considers the role of portraiture in the Stuart court,...

Literary Passion, Ideological Commitment
ISBN: 9781611483031 / Angielski / Twarda / 277 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study examines Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian women writers, as well as analyzing the roles of women of African descent in Cuban and Brazilian literature. Initially, literary imagination locked women into circumscribed roles, a result of hierarchies embedded in slavery and coloniality, and sustained by hierarchical theories on race and gender. The discussion illustrates how these negative aspects have influenced the mainstream literary imagination that contrasts with the 'self-portrayals' created by women writers themselves. Even as there continues to be disadvantageous constructions,...

Poetry as Individuality: The Discourse of Observation in Paul Celan
ISBN: 9781611483390 / Angielski / Twarda / 181 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The most significant European poet of the second half of the twentieth century, Paul Celan, viewed poetry as 'the language of an individual that has become form, ' an individual that is constructed through the act of observation in the poem. In Poetry as Individuality: The Discourse of Observation in Paul Celan, Derek Hillard argues that individuality is the crux of poetry for Celan because the Holocaust effectively eviscerated the individual. Hillard investigates the core figures of individuality in Celan's poetry and prose: semblance, madness, and the wound. Celan's enigmatic poetry of a...

At Home and Abroad in the Empire: British Women Write the 1930s
ISBN: 9781611491050 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book builds upon critical reevaluations of modernism and British literature of the 1930s with a simultaneous focus on discourses of race, gender, and empire. The essays direct attention to the complications and ambivalence accumulating around the meanings of Englishness. They reject analyses of texts as chronicles of personal psychological development in favor of analyses that assume texts are shaped by their authors' public intellectual involvement. In addition, they offer detailed, specific explorations of ways in which British women in the 1930s narrativize empire and war. Thus they...

Shakespeare's Lyricized Drama
ISBN: 9781611491425 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are so used to calling the plays written by Shakespeare and his contemporaries 'poetic drama' that we hardly ever stop to think about the generic meaning of the term. This book is an attempt to explore Shakespeare's artistic achievement as an intricate blend of the dramatic and lyrical modes. In a series of minute textual analyses, it traces the gradual integration of the two from Love's Labour's Lost through Romeo and Juliet and Richard II to As You Like It and Hamlet, with a final glance at the Great Tragedies. How this combination is effected in its details is a question that might help...

ISBN: 9781611492293 / Angielski / Twarda / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Threshold Poetics: Milton and Intersubjectivity is a study of the challenge intersubjective experience poses to doctrinal formulations of difference. Focusing on Paradise Lost and Samson Agonistes, and using feminist and relational psychoanalytic theory, the project examines representations of looking, working, eating, conversing, and touching, to argue that encounters between selves in 'threshold space' dismantle the binary oppositions that support categorical thinking.

Kane reveals a tapestry woven by Christopher Tolkien from different portions of his father s work that is often quite mind-boggling, with inserts that seemed initially to have been editorial inventions shown to have come from some remote portion of Tolkien s vast body of work. He demonstrates how material that was written over the course of more than thirty years was merged together to create a single, coherent text.

The research uses visual approaches to reflect upon traditional issues of...
