ISBN: 9781474269827 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. From New Orleans to New York, from London to Paris to Venice, many of the world's great cities were built on wetlands and swamps. Cities and Wetlands is the first book to explore the literary and cultural histories of these cities and their relationships to their environments and buried histories. Developing a ground-breaking new mode of psychoanalytic ecology and surveying a wide range of major cities in North America and Europe, ecocritic and activist Rod Giblett shows how the wetland origins of these cities haunt their later literature and culture and might prompt us to...

Julian Barnes
ISBN: 9780719081064 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. "Julian Barnes" is a comprehensive introductory overview of the novels that situates his work in terms of fabulation and memory, irony and comedy. It pursues a broadly chronological line through Barnes's literary career, but along the way it also shows how certain key thematic preoccupations and obsessions seem to tie Barnes's oeuvre together (love, death, art, history, truth, and memory). Chapters provide detailed reading of each major publication in turn while treating the major concerns of Barnes's fiction, including art, authorship, history, love and religion. Lucidly written, and also...

Women and Politics in Early Modern England, 1450-1700
ISBN: 9780754609889 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This collection of essays examines women's involvement in politics in early modern England, as writers, as members of kinship and patronage networks, and as petitioners, intermediaries and patrons. It challenges conventional conceptualizations of female power and influence, defining 'politics' broadly in order to incorporate women excluded from formal, male-dominated state institutions. The chapters embrace a range of interdisciplinary approaches: historical, literary, palaeographic, linguistic and gender based. They deal with a variety of issues related to female intervention within...

The Little Magazine Others and the Renovation of Modern American Poetry
ISBN: 9780754653325 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Suzanne Churchill's well-researched and superbly crafted study is the first book-length treatment of Others, an important and neglected little magazine that served as a laboratory for modernist poetic experimentation. In discussions of influential poets such as Mina Loy, Marianne Moore, and William Carlos Williams, whose careers Others helped launch, Churchill counters the notion of Modernism as aesthetically self-isolating and socially disengaged. Rather, she traces a correspondence between formal innovation and social change in American modernist poetry and argues that this dimension of...

In her absorbing study of nineteenth-century mystical writings, Sarah Willburn formulates a new conception of individualism that offers a fresh look at Victorian subjectivity.

His first collection of poems, When Does a Rolling Stone Awaken, published in 1980, is a trenchant critique of the state of mind of Koreans and of the social and political conditions in the country at the time.

Performing Early Modern Trauma from Shakespeare to Milton
ISBN: 9780754655640 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. An examination of political and cultural acts of commemoration, this study addresses the way personal and collective loss is registered in prose, poetry and drama in early modern England. It focuses on the connection of representation of violence in literary works to historical traumas such as royal death, secularization and regicide. The author contends that dramatic and poetic forms function as historical archives both in their commemoration of the past and in their re-enactment of loss that is part of any effort to represent traumatic history. Incorporating contemporary theories of memory...

Textual Conversations in the Renaissance: Ethics, Authors, Technologies
ISBN: 9780754656852 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. "Conversation is the beginning and end of knowledge," wrote Stephano Guazzo in his "Civil Conversation". Like Guazzo's, this is a book dedicated to the Renaissance concept of conversation, a concept that functioned simultaneously as a privileged literary and rhetorical form (the dialogue), an intellectual and artistic program (the humanists' interactions with ancient texts), and a political possibility (the king's council, or the republican concept of mixed government). In its varieties of knowledge production, the Renaissance was centrally concerned with debate and dialogue, not only among...

Closeted Writing and Lesbian and Gay Literature : Classical, Early Modern, Eighteenth-Century
ISBN: 9780754655503 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Arguing for renewed attention to covert same-sex-oriented writing (and to authorial intention more generally), this study explores the representation of female and male homosexuality in late sixteenth- through mid-eighteenth-century British and French literature. The author also uncovers and analyzes long-term continuities in the representation of same-sex love, sex, and desire between the classical, early modern, eighteenth-century, and even modern periods. Among the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century authors and texts examined here are Mme de Murat, Les Memoires De Madame La Comtesse De...

Dante Gabriel Rossetti and the Late Victorian Sonnet Sequence : Sexuality, Belief and the Self
ISBN: 9780754651086 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In 1870, Dante Gabriel Rossetti published the first version of his sonnet sequence "The House of Life". Over the next twenty years, dozens of poets wrote thousands of sonnets resulting in the greatest flourishing of the sonnet sequence since the 1590s. John Holmes's carefully researched and eloquent study explores the causes behind this remarkable outpouring, illuminating the contributions of the leading late Victorian sonneteers to the poetry and culture of their age. The sonnet sequence had traditionally engaged with questions of religious belief, sexual love and selfhood. By the 1860s,...

Language and Revolution in Burke, Wollstonecraft, Paine, and Godwin
ISBN: 9780754654032 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. The Revolution in France of 1789 provoked a major 'pamphlet war' in Britain as writers debated what exactly had happened, why it had happened, and where events were now headed. Jane Hodson's book explores the relationship between political persuasion, literary style, and linguistic theory in this war of words, focusing on four key texts: Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Men, Thomas Paine's Rights of Man, and William Godwin's Enquiry Concerning Political Justice. While these texts form the core of Hodson's project, she...

By analyzing how Victorian literary texts both reveal and reconcile historical anxieties about the meaning of manliness, Dowling argues that masculinity is a complex construction rather than a natural given.

Science, Time and Space in the Late Nineteenth-Century Periodical Press : Movable Types
ISBN: 9780754657477 / Angielski / Twarda / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. James Mussell reads nineteenth-century scientific debates in light of recent theoretical discussions of scientific writing to propose a new methodology for understanding the periodical press in terms of its movements in time and space. That there is no disjunction between text and object is already recognized in science studies, Mussell argues; however, this principle should also be extended to our understanding of print culture within its cultural context. He provides historical accounts of scientific controversy, documents references to time and space in the periodical press, and follows...

Writing Tangier in the Postcolonial Transition : Space and Power in Expatriate and North African Literature
ISBN: 9781409433811 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. In his study of the Tangier expatriate community, Michael K. Walonen analyzes the representations of French and Spanish Colonial North Africa by Paul Bowles, Jane Bowles, William Burroughs, Brion Gysin, and Alfred Chester during the end of the colonial era and the earliest days of post-independence. The conceptualizations of space in these authors' descriptions of Tangier, Walonen shows, share common components: an attention to the transformative potential of the conflict sweeping the region; a record of the power relations that divided space along lines of gender and ethnicity, including the...
