ISBN: 9781138277625 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Romantic Era witnessed a series of conflicts concerning definitions of health and disease. In this book, Martin Wallen discusses those conflicts and the cultural values that drove them. The six chapters progress from the mainstream rejuvenation of the Socratic values by Wordsworth and Coleridge to the radical alternatives offered by the Scottish theorist, John Brown, and the speculative German philosopher, F. W. J. Schelling. Wallen shows how actual definitions of health and disease changed at the turn of the nineteenth century, and provides an analysis of the metaphorical uses to which...

Women and the Pamphlet Culture of Revolutionary England, 1640-1660
ISBN: 9781138278066 / Angielski / Miękka / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Offering an analysis of the ways in which groups of non-aristocratic women circumvented a number of interdictions against female participation in the pamphlet culture of revolutionary England, this book is primarily a study of female agency. Despite the fact that pamphlets, or cheap unbound books, have recently been located among the most inclusive or democratic aspects of the social life of early modern England, this study provides a more gender-sensitive picture. Marcus Nevitt argues instead that throughout the revolutionary decades pamphlet culture was actually constructed around the...

Anthony Munday and the Catholics, 1560-1633
ISBN: 9781138378193 / Angielski / Miękka / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this new study, Donna B. Hamilton offers a major revisionist reading of the works of Anthony Munday, one of the most prolific authors of his time, who wrote and translated in many genres, including polemical religious and political tracts, poetry, chivalric romances, history of Britain, history of London, drama, and city entertainments. Long dismissed as a hack who wrote only for money, Munday is here restored to his rightful position as an historical figure at the centre of many important political and cultural events in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. In Anthony Munday and...

Mary Astell and John Norris: Letters Concerning the Love of God
ISBN: 9781138378179 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Given the progress made in recent years in recovering the writings of early modern women, one might expect that a complete set of the important works of Mary Astell (1666-1731) would have been reissued long before now. Instead, only portions of the thought of the 'First English Feminist' have reached a wide academic audience. This volume presents a critical and annotated edition of the correspondence between Astell and John Norris of Bemerton (1657-1711), Letters Concerning the Love of God, which was published in three separate editions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries...

Reading Victorian Illustration, 1855-1875: Spoils of the Lumber Room
ISBN: 9781138109544 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In a reevaluation of that period in Victorian illustration known as 'The Sixties,' a distinguished group of international scholars consider the impact of illustration on the act of reading; its capacity to reflect, construct, critique and challenge its audience's values; its response to older graphic traditions; and its assimilation of foreign influences. While focused on the years 1855 to 1875, the essays take up issues related to the earlier part of the nineteenth century and look forward to subsequent developments in illustration. The contributors examine significant figures such as Ford...

Memory and Narrative at the Origin of the Novel
ISBN: 9781032122229 / Angielski / Twarda / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book investigates certain recurrent structures in the history of the novel as a textual genre and as a narrative form typical of Western literature. From its origins, in the vernacular cultures of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the novel text seems to be characterised by certain stylistic procedures adopted to represent a new narrative framework, which has no direct terms of comparison in the previous literary tradition. Indeed, the novel, as a ‘textual machine’, often produces a ‘narrative manipulation’ of time and duration, to the point of establishing, along its...

Genealogical Fictions: Cultural Periphery and Historical Change in the Modern Novel

Taking its cue from recent theories of literary geography and fiction, Genealogical Fictions argues that narratives of familial decline shape the history of the modern novel, as well as the novel's relationship to history. Stories of families in crisis, Jobst Welge argues, reflect the experience of historical and social change in regions or nations perceived as -peripheral.- Though geographically and temporally diverse, the novels Welge considers all demonstrate a relation among family and national history, genealogical succession, and generational experience, along with social...

Fremde Ähnlichkeiten: Die Große Wanderung ALS Herausforderung Der Komparatistik

Jahrhundert in vielfacher Weise durch das Phanomen der Wanderung gepragt ist (von der Thematisierung von Migration bis zur beschleunigten 'Wanderung' von Texten uber Sprach- und Nationalgrenzen hinweg) stellt der aus einer internationalen Tagung an der Universitat Mainz hervorgegangene Band die Frage, wie die Komparatistik auf die zugig sich verandernde literarische Welt reagieren soll. Das aus der Ubersetzungstheorie Schleiermachers entlehnte, jedoch neu akzentuierte Konzept der -fremden Ahnlichkeiten- bietet vielfaltige Moglichkeiten,...

Es gehört Mut dazu, etwas Neuartiges zu wagen: So gibt es in der Literaturwissenschaft zwar unterschiedliche Methoden, mit Texten umzugehen, aber eine psychologische ist weniger üblich. Dieses Buch nähert sich dem Thema der Selbstliebe, das in der begriffsgeschichtlichen und literaturwissenschaftlichen Forschung ausgiebig behandelt worden ist, mit eben dieser psychologischen Perspektive. Selbstliebe erscheint jahrhundertelang als buchstäblich zu verteufeln. Heute hingegen wird Selbstliebe als unabdingbar erachtet.

The Dancing Poet: Rabindranath Tagore and Choreographies of Participation
ISBN: 9789382381983 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing on a range of visual archives and personal collections, this book casts Rabindranath Tagore as the "Dancing Poet"--in whom the contours of a pan-Indian diversity seek to merge, albeit selectively, with that of the world, eschewing most emphatically the territorial borders of the nation-state while reiterating civilizational strands. The book outlines the contradictions and possibilities in such aspirations, central to the new cultural texts that Tagore seeks to produce in lyric, songs, dance, image, or narrative. These are strategic juxtapositions that may yet yield new insights into...

Mythology in the Modern Novel: A Study of Prefigurative Techniques
ISBN: 9780691620152 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. J. J. White reexamines the use of myth in fiction in order to bring a new terminological precision into the field. While concentrating on the German novel (Mann, Broch, and Nossack), he discusses the work of Alberto Moravia, John Bowen, Michel Butor, and Macdonald Harris as well, in order to show the modern predilection for myth in whatever national literature. Throughout his discussion, Mr. White delineates carefully his specific subject: the novel in which mythological motifs are used to prefigure events and character--Joyce's Ulysses is, of course, the archetypal novel in this...
