Manual Work and Mental Work: Humanist Knowledge for Professions in the Siglo de Oro
ISBN: 9783662663653 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Information Text:In the early modern period, numerous texts deal with professions by presenting the knowledge required in each case, individual fields of activity, purpose, origin and prestige. The course of argumentation is humanistic, insofar as it mostly starts from the human being. The ancient idea of the primacy of mental work over manual work is formative here. The importance of Spain results from the fact that the Spanish king Charles V was both emperor and ruler of the colonies in America, i.e. he ruled a world empire by the standards of the time. After discussing some central...

Lenglet-Dufresnoy: écrits inédits sur le roman

British Encounters with Ottoman Minorities in the Early Seventeenth Century
ISBN: 9783030972301 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. British travellers regarded all inhabitants of the seventeenth-century Ottoman empire as ‘slaves of the sultan’, yet they also made fine distinctions between them. This book provides the first historical account of how British travellers understood the non-Muslim peoples they encountered in Ottoman lands, and of how they perceived and described them in the mediating shadow of the Turks. In doing so it changes our perceptions of the European encounter with the Ottomans by exploring the complex identities of the subjects of the Ottoman empire in the English imagination, de-centering the...

Three Jacobean Witchcraft Plays
ISBN: 9780719019531 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For Jacobean society, witchcraft was a potent and very real force, an area of sharp controversy in which King James I himself participated and a phenomenon that attracted many dramatists and writers. The three plays in this volume reflect the variety of belief in witches and practice of witchcraft in the Jacobean period. Jacobean understanding of witchcraft is illuminated by the close study of these contrasting texts in relation to each other, and to other contemporary works: "The Masque of Queenes," "Dr Faustus," "Macbeth, and "The Tempest." The introduction and commentaries explore the...

The all-encompassing conspiracy, very much in its original Rousseauvian cast, has become almost the normal way of representing society and its institutions since World War Two, giving impetus to heroic plots and counter-plots in a hundred films and in...

Refiguring Authority
ISBN: 9780813119229 / Angielski / Twarda / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this wide-ranging study E. Michael Gerli shows how Cervantes and his contemporaries ceaselessly imitated one another -- glossing works, dismembering and reconstructing them, writing for and against one another -- while playing sophisticated games of literary one-upmanship. The result was that literature in late Renaissance Spain was often more than a simple matter of source and imitation. It must be understood as a far more subtle, palimpsest-like process of forging endless series of texts from other texts, thus linking closely the practices of reading, writing, and rewriting....

La Réception de Racine à l'Age classique: de la scène au monument
ISBN: 9780729408608 / Francuski / Miękka / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Racine est devenu le 'classique français' par excellence, tant dans la lecture que sur scène. Son exemple montre combien l'étude de la réception d'une œuvre théâtrale ne saurait se borner à sa textualité et aux questions d'influences, mais exige que soit envisagé aussi le rôle des représentations scéniques. Ce volume - qui ne prétend pas constituer un inventaire complet de la réception de Racine à l'âge classique, chose évidemment impossible - vise à esquisser l'étendue du phénomène à partir d'une série d'études de cas particuliers. L'ensemble s'organise en quatre...

Language, Race, and Social Class in Howells's America
ISBN: 9780813160290 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. No other American novelist has written so fully about language -- grammar, diction, the place of colloquialism and dialect in literary English, the relation between speech and writing -- as William Dean Howells. The power of language to create social, political, and racial identity was of central concern to Americans in the nineteenth century, and the implications of language in this regard are strikingly revealed in the writings of Howells, the most influential critic and editor of his age. In this first full-scale treatment of Howells as a writer about language, Elsa Nettels offers...
