ISBN: 9780199206605 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study draws on the theory and practice of archaeology to develop a new perspective on the literature of the Renaissance.

Miraculously preserved corpses, ruined monasteries, Egyptian mummies, and Yorick's skull all figure in this study of the early modern archaeological imagination. The pessimism of the period is...

Renaissance England's Chief Rabbi: John Selden
ISBN: 9780199286133 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the midst of an age of prejudice, John Selden's immense, neglected rabbinical works contain magnificent Hebrew scholarship that respects, to an extent remarkable for the times, the self-understanding of Judaism. Scholars celebrated for their own broad and deep learning gladly conceded Selden's superiority and conferred on him titles such as "the glory of the English nation" (Hugo Grotius), "Monarch in letters" (Ben Jonson), "the chief of learned men reputed in this land" (John Milton). Although scholars have examined Selden (1584-1654) as a political theorist, legal and constitutional...

Renaissance Self-Fashioning is a study of sixteenth-century life and literature that spawned a new era of scholarly inquiry. Stephen Greenblatt examines the structure of selfhood as evidenced in major literary figures of the English Renaissance--More, Tyndale, Wyatt, Spenser, Marlowe, and Shakespeare--and finds that in the early modern period new questions surrounding the nature of identity heavily influenced the literature of the era.

History and Warfare in Renaissance Epic
ISBN: 9780226554051 / Angielski / Miękka / 388 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-12 dni roboczych. Although the Renaissance epic was the principal literary means of representing war in its time, modern readers of the epic often lack a basic understanding of the history of warfare. Michael Murrin here offers the first analysis to bring an understanding of both the history of literature and the history of warfare to the study of the epic. Analyzing English, Italian, and Iberian epics published between 1483 and 1610, Murrin focuses on particular aspects of warfare (cavalry clashes, old and new style sieges, the tactical use of the gun, naval warfare) and the responses to them by authors...

The Renaissance Chaucer
ISBN: 9780300017687 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. For Elizabethans, modern English literary history began with Chaucer. Looking back, they say him as a noble primitive, a genius in spite of the barbarity of his age and language. In this book, Alice Miskimin attempts a new kind of comparative literary history, combining both historical perspective and critical close reading to reexamine "England's Homer" in the light of the two-hundred year period of transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. A survey of the emergence of the Chaucer canon from manuscript to print shows how progressive corruption changed the texts and how the...

Early Modern Autobiography: Theories, Genres, Practices
ISBN: 9780472069286 / Angielski / Miękka / 309 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why, and in what ways, did late medieval and early modern English people write about themselves, and what was their understanding of how "selves" were made and discussed? This collection goes to the heart of current debate about literature and autobiography, addressing the contentious issues of what is meant by early modern autobiographical writing, how it was done, and what was understood by self-representation in a society whose groupings were both elaborate and highly regulated. Early Modern Autobiography considers the many ways in which autobiographical selves emerged from the late...

Thomas Heywood's ""Art of Love : The First Complete English Translation of Ovid's ""Ars Amatoria
ISBN: 9780472109135 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Thomas Heywood (ca 1573-1641) was a major Renaissance playwright who wrote or collaborated on over two hundred plays. Loues Schoole was one of his many nondramatic works that shows his fascination with antiquity. It was the standard English translation of the Ars in the seventeenth century, so popular that it was pirated almost as soon as he had written it--then printed, sold, reprinted, and resold in England and the Netherlands. It was not attributed to him during his lifetime, and he was not allowed to share in the profits that its (considerable) sales generated, two things...

Resistant Structures : Particularity, Radicalism, and Renaissance Texts
ISBN: 9780520209053 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Taking Wittgenstein's "Don't think, but look" as his motto, Richard Strier argues against the application of a priori schemes to Renaissance (and all) texts. He argues for the possibility and desirability of rigorously attentive but "pre-theoretical" reading. His approach privileges particularity and attempts to respect the "resistant structures" of texts. He opposes theories, critical and historical, that dictate in advance what texts must--or cannot--say or do. The first part of the book, "Against Schemes," demonstrates, in discussions of Rosemond Tuve, Stephen Greenblatt, and Stanley...

Shakespeare, Spenser, and the Crisis in Ireland
ISBN: 9780521030830 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Christopher Highley's book explores the most serious crisis the Elizabethan regime faced: its attempts to subdue and colonize the native Irish. Through a range of literary representations from Shakespeare and Spenser, and contemporaries such as John Hooker, John Derricke, George Peele and Thomas Churchyard he shows how these writers produced a complex discourse about Ireland that cannot be reduced to a simple ethnic opposition. Highley argues that the confrontation between an English imperial presence and a Gaelic "other" was a profound factor in the definition of an English poetic self.

The Limits of Eroticism in Post-Petrarchan Narrative : Conditional Pleasure from Spenser to Marvell
ISBN: 9780521034692 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The poet Petrarch imagined that the hopeless but pure love of a woman could lead a man to heaven. In sixteenth-century England Edmund Spenser wrote poetry in the petrarchan tradition while heightening its dilemmas--flirting with a very different kind of feminine image. Dorothy Stephens shows that this flirtation emerges only in conditional language and situations, and that the eroticism the reader feels often belies a narrator's insistence that it is illusory. She goes on to look at responses to Spenser's eroticism among male and female writers in the seventeenth century.

Writing, Gender and State in Early Modern England : Identity Formation and the Female Subject
ISBN: 9780521035217 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The period from the Reformation to the English Civil War saw an evolving understanding of social identity in England. This book uses four illuminating case studies to chart a shift from mid-sixteenth-century notions of an individually generated, spiritually motivated self, to civil war perceptions of the self as a site of civil control. Each centers on the work of an early modern woman writer in the act of self-definition and authorization, illustrating the evolving relationships between public and private selves and the increasing role of gender in determining different identities for men...

Narrative and Meaning in Early Modern England : Browne's Skull and Other Histories
ISBN: 9780521036863 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Howard Marchitello's study of narrative techniques in Renaissance discourse analyzes imaginative conjunctions of literary texts, such as those by Shakespeare and Thomas Browne, with developments in scientific and technical writing. Narrative was used in the Renaissance as both a mode of discourse and an epistemology; it produced knowledge, but also dictated how that knowledge should be understood. Marchitello uses a wide range of cultural documents to illustrate the importance of narrative in constructing the Renaissance understanding of time and identity.

Gender and Literacy on Stage in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780521582346 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In early modern England, boys and girls learned to be masculine or feminine as they learned to read and write. This book explores how gender differences, instilled through specific methods of instruction in literacy, were scrutinized in the English public theater. Close readings of plays from Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost to Thomas Dekker's Whore of Babylon, and of poems, didactic treatises and autobiographical writings from the same period, offer a richly textured analysis of the interaction among didactic precepts, literary models, and historical men and women.

The Romance of the New World : Gender and the Literary Formations of English Colonialism
ISBN: 9780521594547 / Angielski / Twarda / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores the lively interplay between popular romances and colonial narratives during a crucial period of English and colonial history. Joan Pong Linton argues that while the emergent romance figure of the husband embodies a new ideal of productive masculinity, colonial narratives, in putting this masculinity to the test, often contradict and raise doubts about the ideal. Study of these texts in the context of colonial experience reveals not just the "romance of empire" but also the impact of the New World on English identity.
