Proust's Cup of Tea: Homoeroticism and Victorian Culture
ISBN: 9780754605188 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work analyzes Proust's reading of Victorian authors, and studies the ways in which they contributed to his monumental A la recherche du temps perdu. Eells illustrates how Proust made his fictitious painter, Elstir, into a master of ambiguity, by modeling his works on British art. As Proust aestheticized male and female homosexuality using references to British art and letters, Eells coins the term Anglosexuality to refer to intersexuality represented through intertextuality. Proust's Cup of Tea proves that Victorian culture and homoeroticism form one of the cornerstones of Proust's...

Subordinate Subjects: Gender, the Political Nation, and Literary Form in England, 1588-1688
ISBN: 9780754606055 / Angielski / Twarda / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Considering as evidence literary texts, historical documents, and material culture, this interdisciplinary study examines the entry into public political culture of women and apprentices in 17th-century England, and their use of discursive and literary forms in advancing an imaginary of political equality. The book traces to the end of Elizabeth Tudor's reign in the 1590's the origin of this imaginary, analyzes its flowering during the English Revolution, and examines its afterlife from the Restoration of Charles II in 1660 to the Glorious Revolution of 1688-89. It uses post-Marxist theories...

Mock-Heroic from Butler to Cowper: An English Genre and Discourse
ISBN: 9780754606239 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mock-heroic is the exemplary genre of the English Augustan era: it is one of the few genres that the Augustans invented themselves, and it stands in a symbolic relation to a culture still reverential of the grandeurs of the classical past and uneasy about its ability to emulate them. Mock-Heroic from Butler to Cowper shows the protean nature of mock-epic at this time. It recounts the rise of mock-heroic, discusses the properties of the form, and explores its relation both to classical epic and to contemporary genres such as the poetic travesty and the novel. It also tracks the relation of...

ISBN: 9780754609865 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Macmillan's Magazine has long been recognized as one of the most significant of the many British literary/intellectual periodicals that flourished in the second half of the 19th century. Yet the first volume of the Wellesley Index to Victorian Periodicals (1966) pointed out that There is no study of Macmillan's Magazine - and that lack has been only partially remedied in all the decades since.

Prospect and Refuge in the Landscape of Jane Austen
ISBN: 9780754651789 / Angielski / Twarda / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. How do Austen's heroines find a way to prevail in their environments? How do they make the landscape work for them? In what ways does Austen herself use landscape to convey meaning? These are among the questions Barbara Britton Wenner asks as she explores how Austen uses landscape to extend the range of reflection and activity for her female protagonists. Women, Wenner argues, create private spaces within the landscape that offer them the power of knowledge gained through silent and invisible observation. She traces the construction of these hidden refuges in Austen's six major novels, as...

Ex(tra)Territorial: Reassessing Territory in Literature, Culture and Languages / Les Territoires Litteraires, Culturels Et Linguistiques E
ISBN: 9789042038660 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As a judicial concept dating back to the 17th century, the term ex(tra)territoriality has long excited the interest of scholars and writers who have, since the 20th century, not hesitated to appropriate the notion, widening and transforming it in the process. This transfer to the field of humanities has opened a new space of reflection, a space for imagination, through the means of a creative re-reading, among others, which has given rise to new but related concepts such as "deterritorialization." To take into account the growing importance of this extraterritoriality paradigm...

George Eliot, Poetess
ISBN: 9781472437938 / Angielski / Twarda / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The position of George Eliot s poetry within Victorian poetry and within her own canon is crucial for an accurate picture of the writer, as Wendy S. Williams shows in her in-depth examination of Eliot s poetry and her role as poetess. Williams argues that even more clearly than her fiction, Eliot s poetry reveals the development of her belief in sympathy as a replacement for orthodox religious views. With knowledge of the Bible and a firm understanding of society s expectations for female authorship, Eliot consciously participated in a tradition of women poets who relied on feminine piety and...

The Alternative Sherlock Holmes: Pastiches, Parodies and Copies
ISBN: 9780754608820 / Angielski / Twarda / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between 1887 and 1927, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote 60 Sherlock Holmes stories, and his great canon has become the most studied chapter in the history of detective fiction. From the very first, the fascination of the original stories was such that other authors soon began writing new stories derived from Holmes. In almost every year of the 20th century pastiches, parodies, burlesques, copies and rivals of the detective appeared, but no comprehensive attempt has previously been made to collect and discuss these stories, all of which are of historical interest. "The Alternative Sherlock Holmes"...

American Environmental Fiction, 1782-1847
ISBN: 9781409431633 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. While Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau are often credited with inventing American environmental writing, Matthew Wynn Sivils argues that the works of these Transcendentalists must be placed within a larger literary tradition that has its origins in early Republic natural histories, Indian captivity narratives, Gothic novels, and juvenile literature. Authors such as William Bartram, Ann Eliza Bleecker, and Samuel Griswold Goodrich, to name just a few, enabled the development of a credibly American brand of proto-environmental fiction. Sivils argues that these seeds of environmental...

The Devil Next Door: Toward a Literary and Psychological Definition of Human Evil
ISBN: 9789042038721 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Rather than theoretical or abstract, above all else, this monograph endeavors to serve as a practical guide, a handbook for helping us navigate a dark terrain. It neither presumes to examine the sources of evil nor suggest radical cures. These pages strive only to continue the process of naming the signs of individual evil that we might recognize these persons before they inflict even more damage. Scott Peck says it best. "If evil were easy to recognize, identify, and manage, there would be no need for this book." Of course, he was referring to his own pioneering treatise; given the realities...

Fatherhood, Authority, and British Reading Culture, 1831-1907. Melissa Shields Jenkins
ISBN: 9781472411617 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During a period when the idea of fatherhood was in flux and individual fathers sought to regain a cohesive collective identity, debates related to a father s authority were negotiated and resolved through competing documents. Melissa Shields Jenkins analyzes the evolution of patriarchal authority in nineteenth-century culture, drawing from extra-literary and non-narrative source material as well as from novels. Arguing that Victorian novelists reinvent patriarchy by recourse to conduct books, biography, religious manuals, political speeches, and professional writing in the fields of history...

Exilliteratur in Großbritannien 1933 - 1945
ISBN: 9783531131580 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 380 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die Untersuchung bestimmt diejenigen Schreibhaltungen, Topoi und asthetischen Strategien, die in der Literatur des deutschsprachigen Exils in Grossbritannien zwischen 1933 und 1945 dominant waren. Sie konzentriert sich auf ein bislang nicht systematisch bearbeitetes Phanomen, namlich die Hochkonjunktur einer sakralisierenden Metaphorik, die sich bis in die narrative Struktur der Texte fortschreibt. Der Verfasser diskutiert die historische Bedingtheit und Funktionalitat dieser Strategie und verdeutlicht ihre jeweils spezifische Ausformung am individuellen Text."
