ISBN: 9780061146497 / Angielski / Miękka / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For more than 150 years, academics have questioned how William Shakespeare of Stratford--a man with limited schooling who apparently never traveled abroad--wrote such a rich body of work said to draw on the largest vocabulary of any writer in the English language. Motivated by scholarship, Shakespeare historian Brenda James set out to uncover the truth behind literature's greatest mystery. The Truth Will Out is the culmination of James's search, a book five years in the making that details the intensive research, painstaking deciphering, and remarkable historical detection...

Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth
ISBN: 9780140530193 / Angielski / Miękka / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. "A.C. Bradley put Shakespeare on the map for generations of readers and students for whom the plays might not otherwise have become 'real' at all" writes John Bayley in his foreword to this edition of Shakespearean Tragedy: Lectures on Hamlet, Othello, King Lear and Macbeth.
Approaching the tragedies as drama, wondering about their characters as he might have wondered about people in novels or in life, Bradley is one of the most liberating in the line of distinguished Shakespeare critics. His acute yet undogmatic and almost conversational critical method has--despite... "A.C.

Witches and Jesuits: Shakespeare's Macbeth
ISBN: 9780195102901 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In his Pulitzer Prize-winning 1993 book Lincoln at Gettysburg, Garry Wills showed how the Gettysburg Address revolutionized the conception of modern America. In Witches and Jesuits, based on his Oxford/New York Public Library lectures, Wills again focuses on a single document to open up a window on an entire society. He begins with a simple question: If Macbeth is such a great tragedy, why do performances of it so often fail? The stage history of Macbeth is so riddled with disasters that it has created a legendary curse on the drama. Superstitious actors try to evade the curse by referring to...

Bloody Constrant: War and Chivalry in Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780195123838 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. War is a major theme in Shakespeare's plays. Aside from its dramatic appeal, it provided him with a context in which his characters, steeped in the ideals of chivalry, could discuss such concepts as honor, courage, patriotism, and justice. Well aware of the decline of chivalry in his own era, Shakespeare gave his characters lines calling for civilized behavior, mercy, humanitarian principles, and moral responsibility. In this remarkable new book, eminent legal scholar Theodor Meron looks at contemporary international humanitarian law and rules for the conduct of war through the lens of...

Shakespeare's Twenty-First Century Economics: The Morality of Love and Money
ISBN: 9780195128611 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "I love you according to my bond," says Cordelia to her father in King Lear. As the play turns out, Cordelia proves to be an exemplary and loving daughter. A bond is both a legal or financial obligation, and a connection of mutual love. How are these things connected? In As You Like It, Shakespeare describes marriage as a "blessed bond of board and bed": the emotional, religious, and sexual sides of marriage cannot be detached from its status as a legal and economic contract. These examples are the pith of Frederick Turner's fascinating new book. Based on the proven...

Shakespeare Verbatim: The Reproduction of Authenticity and the 1790 Apparatus
ISBN: 9780198117780 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study challenges traditional treatments of Shakespeare through a study of their textual imperatives in the late eighteenth century. The examination of earlier treatments demonstrates that concepts now basic to Shakespeare were once largely irrelevant. Only with Edmond Malone's 1790 Shakespeare edition do such criteria as authenticity, historical periodization, factual biography, chronological development, and in-depth reading become necessary as parts of a tightly interlocked textual schema. Their emergence, this text shows, must be seen as a specific historical response to the problem...

The Devil's Party: Critical Counter-Interpretations of Shakespearean Drama
ISBN: 9780198128144 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This survey of past and present controversies about Shakespearian drama asks about the question: Do the plays hold a mirror up to nature? If so, what is the nature of the "nature" reflected in plays as different as Hamlet and As You Like It?K Is the poet on the side of the angels or, in fact, "of the devil's party" in a play like Richard III? Are Hamlet and Cleopatra more to be morally censured than pitied or admired? How seriously should we take the comedies? Rather than attempting to answer these questions, the author here explains why it is that the plays remain open to critical debate....

The Modernist Shakespeare: Critical Texts In A Material World
ISBN: 9780198183228 / Angielski / Miękka / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Every epoch recreates its classical icons--and for literary culture no icon is more central or more protean than Shakespeare. Even though finding the authentic Shakespeare has been a goal of scholarship since the eighteenth century, he has always been constructed as a contemporary author. In this critical study, Grady charts the construction of Shakespeare as a twentieth-century text, redirecting "new historicist" methods to an investigation of the social roots of contemporary Shakespeare criticism. Beginning with the formation of professionalism as an ideology in the Victorian Age, this...

Shakespeare's Hamlet and the Controversies of Self
ISBN: 9780198185048 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book offers a new approach to the discussion of English Renaissance literary subjectivity. Dissatisfied with much New Historicist and Cultural Materialistic criticism, it attempts to trace the history of the controversies of self. William Hazlitt emerges as a pioneering figure in a tradition of literary criticism which this book tries to advance. Drawing on the personal construct theory of George A. Kelly, and on the moral theory of Alasdair MacIntyre, the textual ways are traced by which "That within" Hamlet is constructed. In an argument that challenges some of the founding...

Shakespeare and the Idea of the Book
ISBN: 9780199212101 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The "book" - both material and metaphoric - is strewn throughout Shakespeare's plays: it is held by Hamlet as he turns through revenge to madness; buried deep in the mudded ooze by Prospero when he has shaken out his art like music and violence; it is forced by Richard II to withstand the mortality of deposition, fetishised by lovers, tormented by pedagogues, lost by kings, written by the alienated, and hung about war with the blood of lost voices. The 'book' begins and ends Shakespeare's dramatic career as change itself, standing the distance between violence and hope, between holding and...

The Invention of Suspicion: Law and Mimesis in Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama
ISBN: 9780199212439 / Angielski / Twarda / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Invention of Suspicion argues that the English justice system underwent changes in the sixteenth century that, because of the system's participatory nature, had a widespread effect and a decisive impact on the development of English Renaissance drama. These changes gradually made evidence evaluation a popular skill: justices of peace and juries were increasingly required to weigh up the probabilities of competing narratives of facts. At precisely the same time, English dramatists were absorbing, from Latin legal rhetoric and from Latin comedy, poetic strategies that enabled them to make...

Shakespeare's Names
ISBN: 9780199219971 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How do names attach themselves to particular objects and people and does this connection mean anything? This is a question which goes as far back as Plato and can still be seen in contemporary society with books of Names to Give Your Baby or Reader's Digest columns of apt names and professions. For the Renaissance the vexed question of naming was a subset of the larger but equally vexed subject of language: is language arbitrary and conventional (it is simply an agreed label for a pre-existing entity) or is it motivated (it creates the entity which it names)? Shakespeare's Names is a book for...
