French Connections in the English Renaissance
ISBN: 9781409466253 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The study of literature still tends to be nation-based, even when direct evidence contradicts longstanding notions of an autonomous literary canon. In a time when current events make inevitable the acceptance of a global perspective, the essays in this volume suggest a corrective to such scholarly limitations: the contributors offer alternatives to received notions of 'influence' and the more or less linear transmission of translatio studii, demonstrating that they no longer provide adequate explanations for the interactions among the various literary canons of the Renaissance. Offering texts...

Romancing the Self in Early Modern Englishwomen's Life Writing
ISBN: 9781409443780 / Angielski / Twarda / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Juxtaposing life writing and romance, this study offers the first book-length exploration of the dynamic and complex relationship between the two genres. In so doing, it operates at the intersection of several recent trends: interest in women's contributions to autobiography; greater awareness of the diversity and flexibility of auto/biographical forms in the early modern period; and the use of manuscripts and other material evidence to trace literacy practices. Through analysis of a wide variety of life writings by early modern Englishwomen-including Elizabeth Delaval, Dorothy Calthorpe, Ann...

Graveyard Poetry: Religion, Aesthetics and the Mid-Eighteenth-Century Poetic Condition
ISBN: 9781409434733 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While immensely popular in the eighteenth century, current critical wisdom regards graveyard poetry as a short-lived fad with little lasting merit. In the first book-length study of this important poetic mode, Eric Parisot suggests, to the contrary, that graveyard poetry is closely connected to the mid-century aesthetic revision of poetics. Graveyard poetry's contribution to this paradigm shift, Parisot argues, stems from changing religious practices and their increasing reliance on printed material to facilitate private devotion by way of affective and subjective response. Coupling this...

The Arts of Remembrance in Early Modern England: Memorial Cultures of the Post Reformation
ISBN: 9781409446576 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The early modern period inherited a deeply-ingrained culture of Christian remembrance that proved a platform for creativity in a remarkable variety of forms. From the literature of church ritual to the construction of monuments; from portraiture to the arrangement of domestic interiors; from the development of textual rites to drama of the contemporary stage, the early modern world practiced 'arts of remembrance' at every turn. The turmoils of the Reformation and its aftermath transformed the habits of creating through remembrance. Ritually observed and radically reinvented, remembrance was a...

ISBN: 9781781394090 / Angielski / Twarda / 1176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Honore de Balzac (1799 - 1850) was a French novelist and playwright. His great work was a series of short stories and novels collectively entitled La Comedie Humaine, which gives a picture of swathes of French society in the years after the 1815 fall of Napoleon Bonaparte. Balzac had plenty of experiences to draw upon, he had been an apprentice in a law office, a publisher, printer, businessman, critic, and politician and failed at all of these pursuits. The novels reveal his difficulties with all these careers. Many of these books have been adapted for the screen and to this day they are a...

Thomas Killigrew and the Seventeenth-Century English Stage: New Perspectives
ISBN: 9781409466680 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite his significant influence as a courtier, diplomat, playwright and theatre manager, Thomas Killigrew (1612-1683) remains a comparatively elusive and neglected figure. The original essays in this interdisciplinary volume shine new light on a singular, contradictory Englishman 400 years after his birth. They increase our knowledge and deepen our understanding not only of Killigrew himself, but of seventeenth-century dramaturgy, and its complex relationship to court culture and to evolving aesthetic tastes. The first book on Killigrew since 1930, this study re-examines the significant...

História da Literatura Portuguesa - Renascença

A discussao dos problemas acerca de Gil Vicente, de Sa de Miranda, Bernardim Ribeiro, Cristovao Falcao, Francisco de Morais, Ferreira, Diogo Bernardes, Camoes e Damiao de Gois, provocou um movimento de estudos especiais, com achados felizes que anularam hipoteses provisorias. Atacados por essas ratificacoes de factos isolados, mas orientando-nos sempre no ponto de vista do conjunto, desconhecemos o azedume que levou Herculano a dizer: as missangas valem muito nesta nossa Guine literaria.

História da Literatura Portuguesa - Os Seiscentistas
ISBN: 9781494411138 / Portugalski / Miękka / 434 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. O predominio da lingua castelhana apagou desastradamente as literaturas da Galiza, de Aragao, de Valencia; salvou-se a literatura portuguesa pela reacao dos espiritos cultos Seiscentistas apoiando a expressao do sentimento nacional pela revivescencia dos modelos classicos quinhentistas. Vinte e sete anos foram precisos para firmar-se a libertacao de 1640; mas o castelhanismo infiltrara-se na literatura portuguesa desde o seculo XV (Cancioneiro Geral, de Resende), e por todo o seculo XVI por pragmatica cortesanesca (poetas bilingues, como Sa de Miranda, Gil Vicente, D. Manuel de Portugal,...

Hidden Designs : The Critical Profession and Renaissance Literature
ISBN: 9781138779266 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This 1986 study offers a challenging contribution to the on-going critical debate surrounding the English literary Renaissance. Although informed by the 'new historicism' and post-structuralism, 'Hidden Designs' makes a plea for criticism to be practiced in its own name rather than in the name of theory, and opposes the hyper-professionalisation of literary studies in favour of the broader communal functions of criticism. Major Renaissance authors and their recent critics are placed under 'suspicion' as Crewe explores the elements of 'criminality' inherent in the powerful interests -personal,...

The Elizabethan Top Ten: Defining Print Popularity in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9781409440291 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Engaging with histories of the book and of reading, as well as with studies of material culture, this volume explores a popularitya in early modern English writings. Is a populara best described as a theoretical or an empirical category in this period? How can we account for the gap between modern canonicity and early modern print popularity? How might we weight the evidence of popularity from citations, serial editions, print runs, reworkings, or extant copies? Is something that sells a lot always popular, even where the readership for print is only a small proportion of the population, or...

Learning and Literacy in Female Hands, 1520-1698
ISBN: 9781409453758 / Angielski / Twarda / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Focusing on the unusual learning and schooling of women in early modern England, this study explores how and why women wrote, the myriad forms their alphabets could assume, and the shape which vernacular literacy acquired in their hands. Elizabeth Mazzola argues that early modern women's writings often challenged the lessons of their male teachers, since they were designed to conceal rather than reveal women's learning and schooling. Employed by early modern women with great learning and much art, such difficult or a resistant' literacy organized households and administrative offices alike,...

Staging Authority in Caroline England: Prerogative, Law and Order in Drama, 1625-1642
ISBN: 9781409433323 / Angielski / Twarda / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Considering plays by Philip Massinger, Richard Brome, Ben Jonson, John Ford and James Shirley, this study addresses the political import of Caroline drama as it engages with contemporary struggles over authority between royal prerogative, common law and local custom in seventeenth-century England. How are these different aspects of law and government constructed and negotiated in plays of the period? What did these stagings mean in the increasingly unstable political context of Caroline England? Beginning each chapter with a summary of the legal and political debates relevant to the forms of...

Dryden's Final Poetic Mode: The Fables
ISBN: 9780812281217 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Two months before he died, Dryden published a collection of verse translations and original poetry, Fables Ancient and Modern, the work for which he was most admired throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Cedric Reverand argues that Fables, which has for the most part escaped modern scrutiny, embodies a purposeful, subversive strategy, and constitutes a new poetic mode that emerged when the laureate, public spokesman for king and country, lost his official post and became an outcast, a minority voice. In Dryden's Final Poetic Mode, Reverand focuses... Two months before he died, Dryden published a collection of verse translations and original poetry, Fables Ancient and Modern, the work for ... |

ISBN: 9781472415080 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1660 and 1820, Great Britain experienced significant structural transformations in class, politics, economy, print, and writing that produced new and varied spaces and with them, new and reconfigured concepts of gender. In mapping the relationship between gender and space in British literature of the period, this collection defines, charts, and explores new cartographies, both geographic and figurative. The contributors take up a variety of genres and discursive frameworks from this period, including poetry, the early novel, letters, and laboratory notebooks written by authors ranging...

Sponsored by Horace Walpole, this luxurious quarto was the first major aesthetic expression of the Strawberry Hill circle and a landmark in English book illustration. Kenneth Clarke called it "the most graceful monument to Gothic Rococo." Its witty interplay between illustration and text anticipated Blake, who studied it some thirty years later. Among its poems is Gray's famous Elegy Written in a Courtly Church-Yard. Loftus Jestin offers a facsimile of Designs (out of print... In 1753 Robert Dodsley published Designs by Mr. R.
