ISBN: 9780866985598 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Maria Vela y Cueto (1561-1617) declared that God had personally ordered her to take only the Eucharist as food and to restore primitive dress and public penance in her aristocratic convent, the entire religious community, according to her confessor, "rose up in wrath." Yet, when Vela died, her peers joined with the populace to declare her a saint. In her autobiography and personal letters, Vela speaks candidly of the obstacles, perils, and rewards of re-negotiating piety in a convent where devotion to God was no longer expressed through rigorous asceticism. Vela's experience, told in... When Maria Vela y Cueto (1561-1617) declared that God had personally ordered her to take only the Eucharist as food and to restore primitive dress ... |

A Trick to Catch the Old One: By Thomas Middleton
ISBN: 9781526116932 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first single volume edition of A Trick to Catch the Old One for many decades. This edition presents a thoroughly reconsidered text based on collation of all known copies of the 1608 quarto (including material unnoticed by earlier editors). Textual analysis draws on detailed internal investigation and the printer's wider practice to propose that relatively improvisational procedures and a paper quota governed A Trick's printing operations. Discovery of an overlooked record revises the date of court performance to 1 January 1607, with implications for the play's early history....

The Last of an Age: The Making and Unmaking of a Sixteenth-Century Ottoman Poet
ISBN: 9781409440994 / Angielski / Twarda / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Exploring a seminal period in the cultural history of the Ottoman Empire, this study focuses on the sixteenth century, a time when literature written in Turkish rapidly grew in parallel with an expanding bureaucratic state. The growing corpus, particularly of poetry, led to the compilation of a series of biographical dictionaries of poets; but until now, the part that such dictionaries played in the formation of a poetic canon, and by extension a literary canon, has not been fully explored. This book examines that development by focusing on the work and reception of the poet Zati (1477-1546)...
