Goethes Spätwerk / On Late Goethe
ISBN: 9783110530384 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 283 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Because the category of 'late style' is extremely common in literary studies, it is often used uncritically. This is indicated by the simple fact that the relevant reference books have no entries on the concept. This volume aims to delineate phenomenon of late style as sharply as possible. Its contributions (in English and German) go beyond the widespread use of the term as a biographical or epochal benchmark in order to determine the aesthetic and functional principles that govern its application. In this connection, Goethe's work provides an outstanding field for theoretical exploration....

John Clare's Romanticism
ISBN: 9783319538587 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book offers a major reassessment of John Clare's poetry and his position in the Romantic canon. Alert to Clare's knowledge of the work of his Romantic contemporaries and near contemporaries, it puts forward the first extended series of comparisons of Clare's poetry with texts we now think of as defining the period - in particular poems by Robert Burns, William Wordsworth, Lord Byron, and John Keats. It makes fully evident Clare's original contribution to the aesthetic culture of the age by analysing how he explores a wide range of concerns and preoccupations which are central to, and...

Liquid Landscape: Geography and Settlement at the Edge of Early America
ISBN: 9780812249569 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Florida, land and water frequently change places with little warning, dissolving homes and communities along with the very concepts of boundaries themselves. While Florida's landscape of saturated swamps, shifting shorelines, coral reefs, and tiny keys initially impeded familiar strategies of early U.S. settlement, such as the establishment of fixed dwellings, sturdy fences, and cultivated fields, over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Americans learned to inhabit Florida's liquid landscape in unconventional but no less transformative ways. In Liquid... In Florida, land and water frequently change places with little warning, dissolving homes and communities along with the very concepts of boundarie... |

Annotation in Eighteenth-Century Poetry
ISBN: 9781611462524 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent years have witnessed a growing fascination with the printed annotations accompanying eighteenth-century texts. Previous studies of annotation have revealed the margins as dynamic textual spaces both shaping and shaped by diverse aesthetic, historical, and political sensibilities. Yet previous studies have also been restricted to notes by or for canonical figures; they have neglected annotation's relation to developments in reading audiences and the book trade; and they have overlooked the interaction, even tension, between prose notes and poetry, a tension reflecting eighteenth-century...

The Johnson Circle: A Group Portrait
ISBN: 9781683931157 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Samuel Johnson, from early boyhood, lived with the knowledge that his homely face, large and ungainly body, loud voice, and odd mannerisms put people off. He later confessed that he had never made an effort to please others until past thirty, "considering the matter as hopeless." Yet he managed to gather about him as friends, especially during the last quarter of his life, some of the most fascinating and accomplished people of the day. These friendships were not always smooth, and some did not last, but Johnson valued the individuals nonetheless. Actor, painter, playwright, novelist, Greek...
