William Blake's Comic Vision
ISBN: 9780333745656 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Blake's comic brilliance has been variously dismissed as the nervous ramblings of a neglected genius, the tomfool doodles of a distracted youngster, or a crude tool for destabilizing textual authority. But, for the eighteenth century, comedy played a pivotal role in debates on aesthetics, education, spirituality and morality. This exciting new study blends a close reading of Blake's early work with fascinating historical research to demonstrate that the comic was an essential component of Blake's artistic Vision.

Wordsworth: A Poet's History
ISBN: 9780333918838 / Angielski / Twarda / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Wordsworth: A Poet's History examines the range of Wordsworth's poetry and criticism over the course of his career. It examines the writer and his works against the backdrop of revolutionary history, public, personal as well as political. The study foregrounds the ways in which Wordsworth's account of 'self-representation in poetic language' coils around and recoils from the linguistic traumas excited by the French Revolution. The book also examines Wordsworth's patriotism and the evolution of this as demonstrated in his poetry.

Islam in the Eastern African Novel
ISBN: 9780230108431 / Angielski / Twarda / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Islam in the Eastern African Novel offers an idiosyncratic perspective on the sub-Saharan African novel by engaging three novelists from eastern Africa-Nuruddin Farah, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and M. G. Vassanji. Mirmotahari argues that Islam is not an incidental factor in the fiction produced by these writers, but a central presence that renews conversations about nationhood, race, diaspora, coloniality, and the novel itself as a form in a sub-Saharan African and postcolonial context.

Waller also discusses the 'place' the biographer occupies in writing a literary life.

Autobiography and Authorship in Renaissance Verse
ISBN: 9781349416288 / Angielski / Miękka / 206 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The advent of relatively cheap editions in the mid-sixteenth century produced an explosion of verse, much of which represented the first person speaker as a version of the author.

Texts studied include a manuscript autobiography by Thomas Whythorne, printed verse by a woman, Isabella Whitney, travel and war narratives, as well as canonical texts by Spenser, Sidney and Shakespeare.

ISBN: 9781137588494 / Angielski / Twarda / 317 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines literary depictions of the construction and destruction of the armored male body in combat in relation to early modern English understandings of the past.

She demonstrates how writers reconstituted the spoils of antiquity and the Middle Ages in an imagined military struggle between male...
