Women Writing Modern Fiction: A Passion for Ideas
ISBN: 9780333614204 / Angielski / Twarda / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many women writers in twentieth-century Britain were fascinated by the individual thought processes of their characters. Women Writing Modern Fiction draws connections between the works of authors such as Elizabeth Bowen, Dorothy L. Sayers, Olivia Manning, Iris Murdoch and A.S. Byatt, who dramatize darkness in wartime, gothic terror, madness and romantic betrayal, yet celebrate the triumph of rationality and "The Higher Common Sense." With irony, detachment, wit and high intelligence, they bring us acrobatic tales of the mind.

The Brother-Sister Culture in Nineteenth-Century Literature: From Austen to Woolf
ISBN: 9780333749302 / Angielski / Twarda / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book argues that brother-sister relationships--idealized by the Romantics and intensified in 19th-century English domestic culture--is a neglected key to understanding Victorian gender relations. Attracted by the apparent purity of the sibling bond, novelists and poets also acknowledged its innate ambivalence and instability, through conflicting patterns of sublimated devotion, revenge fantasy, and corrosive obsession. The final chapter shows how the brother-sister bond was permanently changed by the experience of the First World War.

Feminist Popular Fiction
ISBN: 9780333793176 / Angielski / Twarda / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is an examination of feminist writers' appropriation of a range of popular genres: detective fiction, science fiction, romance, and the fairy tale. The author argues that feminists can successfully appropriate all four genres because genres, as cultural productions, have accommodated the cultural changes brought about by second-wave feminism. The book provides a history of each of the genres, reinstating women's contributions in those histories, and a comprehensive review of the feminist critical debates on each of the genres.

Tragedy and Irish Literature: Synge, O'Casey, Beckett
ISBN: 9780333923931 / Angielski / Twarda / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Tragedy and Irish Literature, McDonald considers the culture of suffering, loss, and guilt in the work of J.M. Synge, Sean O'Casey and Samuel Beckett. He applies external ideas of tragedy to the three dramatists and also discerns particular sorts of tragedy within their own work. While alert to the real differences between the three writers, the book also traces common themes and preoccupations. It identifies a conflict between form and content, between heightened language and debased reality as the hallmark of Irish tragedy.

The original edition cost seventy-five cents, but there was something priceless about its eponymous piece.

Willa Cather and the Politics of Criticism
ISBN: 9780375712951 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this brilliant, impassioned and controversial book, New Yorker critic Joan Acocella argues that twentieth-century literary critics from the Left and Right have misused Willa Cather and her works for their own political ends, and, in doing so, have either ignored or obscured her true literary achievement. In an acute and often very funny critique of the critics, Acocella untangles Cather's reputation from decades of politically motivated misreadings, and proposes her own clear-headed view of Cather s genius. At once a graceful summary of Cather's life and work, and a refreshing plea...

For the past four decades Frank Kermode, critic and writer, has steadily established himself as one of the most brilliant minds of his generation.

Back in print after an absence of over a decade, The Romantic Image is quintessential Kermode. Enlightenment has seldom been so...
