Forensic Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780199558247 / Angielski / Twarda / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shakespeare and Judicial Rhetoric illustrates Shakespeare's creative processes by revealing some of the intellectual materials out of which some of his most famous works were composed. Focusing on the narrative poem Lucrece, on four of his late Elizabethan plays -- Romeo and Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar and Hamlet -- and on three early Jacobean dramas, Othello, Measure for Measure and All's Well That Ends Well, Quentin Skinner argues that there are major speeches, and sometimes sequences of scenes, that are crafted according to a set of rhetorical precepts about how to...

Monsters and the Poetic Imagination in the Faerie Queene: 'Most Ugly Shapes, and Horrible Aspects'
ISBN: 9780719095719 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This monograph is the first comprehensive study of the monsters and monstrous beings in The Faerie Queene. It takes as its starting point Thomas Cooper's sixteenth-century definition of monstrum, which links the monstrous to the notion of the physically deformed, the violation of the rules of nature, and the idea of the sign that needs interpreting. These distinctions also represent Spenser's use of monsters and monstrous beings in The Faerie Queene: he fashions monstrosities as physical deformities violating the rules of nature in order to establish them as meaningful ciphers in an 'extended...

A Supplement of the Faery Queene: By Ralph Knevet
ISBN: 9780719082597 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ralph Knevet, a member of the Norfolk gentry and client of the Knevet and Paston families, completed his three-book continuation of Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene in 1635, on the eve of the English Civil War. Like Spenser's poem, Knevet's Supplement of the Faery Queene is a narrative and allegorical work, which weaves together a complex collection of tales and episodes, featuring knights, ladies, sorcerers, monsters, vertiginous fortresses and deadly battles - a chivalric romp in Spenser's cod medieval style. In his largely topical allegory, Knevet shadows recent English history, along...

Shakespeare's Binding Language
ISBN: 9780198757580 / Angielski / Twarda / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This remarkable, innovative book explores the significance in Shakespeare's plays of oaths, vows, contracts, pledges and the other utterances and acts by which characters commit themselves to the truth of things past, present, and to come. In early modern England, such binding language was everywhere. Oaths of office, marriage vows, legal bonds, and casual, everyday profanity gave shape and texture to life. The proper use of such language, and the extent of its power to bind, was argued over by lawyers, religious writers, and satirists, and these debates inform literature and drama....

Imperial Tapestries: Narrative Form and the Question of Spanish Habsburg Power, 1530-1647
ISBN: 9781611487466 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Imperial Tapestries represents a transnational approach to questions of monarchical power and literary form in early modern Europe. In line with Barbara Fuchs's recent call for considerations of center versus periphery in Old World contexts, it explores the ways in which some of the most significant authors of the early modern era questioned the structures of Spanish Habsburg authority through -imperial texts---texts that call attention to their organizational process--in order to mirror authors' perceptions of the structures of Habsburg power. With a contextual basis in Fuchs' notion of...

Autobiography and Letters of a Spanish Nun: Volume 51
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)...
