The Omnibus: A Cultural History of Urban Transportation
ISBN: 9783031187070 / Angielski / Twarda / 377 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The introduction of omnibus services in the late 1820s revolutionised urban life in Paris, London and many other cities. As the first form of mass transportation—in principle, they were ‘for everyone’—they offered large swaths of the population new ways of seeing both the urban space and one another. This study examines how the omnibus gave rise to a vast body of cultural representations that probed the unique social experience of urban transit. These representations took many forms—from stories, plays and poems to songs, caricatures and paintings—and include works by many...

While novels about the iconoclastic New Woman have garnered much interest in recent decades, poetry from the cultural and literary figure has received considerably less attention. Yet the very issues that propelled New Woman fiction are integral to the poetry of thefin de...

William Wordsworth and Modern Travel: Railways, Motorcars and the Lake District, 1830-1940
ISBN: 9781802078206 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores Wordsworth’s extraordinary influence on the tourist landscapes of the Lake District throughout the age of railways, motorcars and the First World War. It reveals how Wordsworth’s response to railways was not a straightforward matter of opposition and protest; his ideas were taken up by both advocates and opponents of railways, and through their controversies had a surprising impact on the earliest motorists as they sought a language to describe the liberty and independence of their new mode of transport. Once the age of motoring was underway, the outbreak of the First...

Die Untersuchung des letzten großen Gedichtzyklus von Heinrich Heine, des „Romanzero“, legt mythische Denkstrukturen frei, die nach einschlägigen Mythostheorien (Blumenberg, Eliade) eine ordnende Funktion in einer dem Menschen als Chaos erscheinenden Welt erhalten. Zugleich ist mythisches Denken zyklisch. Heine gestaltet im „Romanzero“ historische Situationen aus allen Epochen und zeichnet drastisch die Perpetuierung von Herrschaft und Ungleichheit nach. Der Mythos vermag keine Hoffnung zu kreieren. Heine entwirft am Ende seines Lebens in seiner „Matratzengruft“ ein...

Human Tissue in the Realist Novel, 1850-1895
ISBN: 9783031266393 / Angielski / Twarda / 111 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Pivot engages with current debates about anthropocentrism and the Anthropocene to propose a reappraisal of the realist novel in the second half of the nineteenth century. Through three case studies, it argues for ‘human tissue’ as a conceptual tool for reading that brings together biology, literature and questions of layering. This new approach is shown to be especially salient to the Victorian period, when the application of ‘tissue’ to biology first emerges. The book is distinctive in bringing together theoretical concerns around realism and the Anthropocene – two major...
