Contemporary Literary Landscapes: The Poetics of Experience
ISBN: 9781472474650 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Writing landscapes inevitably occurs in dialogue with a long textual and pictorial tradition, but first-hand experience also provides key stimuli to many writers accounts. This monograph employs a comparative lens to offer an intervention in debates between literary scholars who focus on genre and those cultural geographers who are concerned that self-perpetuating literary tropes marginalize practical engagements. Suggesting that representation and experience are not competing paradigms for landscape, Daniel Weston argues that in the hands of contemporary writers they are complementary forces...

The first book-length study to focus on Don DeLillo's plays, Staging Don DeLillo brings the author's theatre works to the forefront.

Women Poets in the Victorian Era: Cultural Practices and Nature Poetry
ISBN: 9781472464774 / Angielski / Twarda / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Examining the place of nature in Victorian women's poetry, Fabienne Moine explores the work of canonical and long-neglected women poets to show the myriad connections between women and nature during the period. At the same time, she challenges essentialist discourses that assume innate affinities between women and the natural world. Rather, Moine shows, Victorian women poets mobilised these alliances to defend common interests and express their engagement with social issues. While well-known poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti are well-represented in Moine's study,...

Decadent Romanticism: 1780-1914: 1780-1914
ISBN: 9781472422422 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Decadent authors, Romanticism was a source of powerful imaginative revisionism, perversion, transition, and partial negation. But for all these strong Decadent reactions against the period, the cultural phenomenon of Decadence shared with Romanticism a mutual distrust of the philosophy of utilitarianism and the aesthetics of neo-Classicism. Reflecting on the interstices between Romantic and Decadent literature, Decadent Romanticism reassesses the diverse and creative reactions of Decadent authors to Romanticism between 1780 and 1914, while also remaining alert to the prescience of the...

At the turn of the millennium, the Martinican novelist Edouard Glissant offered the bold prediction that -Faulkner's oeuvre will be made complete when it is revisited and made vital by African Americans, - a goal that -will be achieved by a radically 'other' reading.- In the spirit of Glissant's prediction, this collection places William Faulkner's literary oeuvre in dialogue with a hemispheric canon of black writing from the United States and the Caribbean.

British Hymn Books for Children, 1800-1900: Re-Tuning the History of Childhood
ISBN: 9781409454304 / Angielski / Twarda / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Examining nineteenth-century British hymns for children, Alisa Clapp-Itnyre argues that the unique qualities of children's hymnody created a space for children's empowerment. Unlike other literature of the era, hymn books were often compilations of many writers' hymns, presenting the discerning child with a multitude of perspectives on religion and childhood. In addition, the agency afforded children as singers meant that they were actively engaged with the text, music, and pictures of their hymnals. Clapp-Itnyre charts the history of children s hymn-book publications from early to late...

Focusing on everyday life in nineteenth-century Britain and its imperial possessions-from preparing tea to cleaning the kitchen, from packing for imperial adventures to arranging home decor-the essays in this collection share a common focus on materiality, the nitty-gritty elements that helped give shape and meaning to British self-definition during the period. Each essay demonstrates how preoccupations with common household goods and habits fueled contemporary debates about cultural institutions ranging from personal matters of marriage and family to more overtly political issues of empire...

This book examines both classic and less-known works of Dutch literature from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. Its starting-point is that both authors and readers are born into a network of ideologies. But how do these ideologies work, and how do they serve to legitimize various forms of subjugation? Judit Gera surveys literary representations of the Dutch colonial experience and of women's lives in male-dominated societies, showing how colonial and gender-based forms of subjugation are interrelated and often intersect. Judit Gera is professor of Dutch Literature at the Eotvos...
