The Historical Novel, Transnationalism, and the Postmodern Era: Presenting the Past
ISBN: 9781138230255 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume explores the genre of the historical novel and the variety of ways in which writers choose to represent the past. How does an author s nationality or gender impact their artistic choices? To what extent can historical novels appeal to a transnational audience? This study demonstrates how histories can communicate across national borders, often by invoking or deconstructing the very notion of nationhood. Furthermore, it traces how the concerns of the postmodern era, such as postmodern critiques of historiography, colonialism, identity, and the Enlightenment, have impacted the...

The Miscellany of the Spanish Golden Age: A Literature of Fragments
ISBN: 9781472429841 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taking up the invitation extended by tentative attempts over the past three decades to construct a functioning definition of the genre, Jonathan Bradbury traces the development of the vernacular miscellany in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain and Spanish-America. In the first full-length study of this commercially successful and intellectually significant genre, Bradbury underlines the service performed by the miscellanists as disseminators of knowledge and information to a popular readership. His comprehensive analysis of the miscelanea corrects long-standing misconceptions,...

Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth's Urania
ISBN: 9781472479754 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth s Urania offers the first systematic formal and thematic analysis of Wroth s Urania in its historical context and explores the structural means by which Wroth fashions her readership. The book thus has a dual focus, at once on narrative art and reader formation. It makes two original claims, the first being that the Urania is not the unorganized accumulation of stories critics have tended to present it as, but a work of sophisticated narrative structures i.e. a complex text in a positive sense. These... Narrative Structure and Reader Formation in Lady Mary Wroth s Urania offers the first systematic formal and thematic analysis of Wroth s <... |

War Stories: The War Memoir in History and Literature
ISBN: 9781785333071 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although war memoirs constitute a rich, varied literary form, they are often dismissed by historians as unreliable. This collection of essays is one of the first to explore the modern war memoir, revealing the genre's surprising capacity for breadth and sophistication while remaining sensitive to the challenges it poses for scholars. Covering conflicts from the Napoleonic era to today, the studies gathered here consider how memoirs have been used to transmit particular views of war even as they have emerged within specific social and political contexts. Although war memoirs constitute a rich, varied literary form, they are often dismissed by historians as unreliable. This collection of essays is o... |

Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition: Spiritual Imperialism in the Italian Imagination
ISBN: 9781472488886 / Angielski / Twarda / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Exploring the diverse factors that persuaded Christopher Columbus that he could reach the fabled "East" by sailing west, Dante, Columbus and the Prophetic Tradition considers, first, the impact of Dante's Divine Comedy and the apocalyptic prophetic tradition that it reflects, on Columbus's perception both of the cosmos and the eschatological meaning of his journey to what he called an 'other world.' In so doing, the book considers how affinities between himself and the exiled poet might have led Columbus to see himself as a divinely appointed agent of the apocalypse and his enterprise as...

History and Hope in American Literature: Models of Critical Patriotism
ISBN: 9781442276369 / Angielski / Twarda / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history, creative writers have often tackled topical subjects as a means to engage and influence public discourse. American authors--those born in the States and those who became naturalized citizens--have consistently found ways to be critical of the more painful pieces of the country's past yet have done so with the patriotic purpose of strengthening the nation's community and future. In History and Hope in American Literature: Models of Critical Patriotism, Ben Railton argues that it is only through an in-depth engagement with history--especially its darkest and most agonizing...

Alla por los anos de 1821 a 1824, cuando la nacionalidad oriental aparecia aun incolora casi atrofiada al nacer por rudisimos golpes capaces de producir la paralisis o por lo menos la anemia que se sucede siempre a la postracion y al prolongado delirio, -la libertad de la palabra escrita no alcanzaba tal vez el vuelo de una campana, y por el hecho la propaganda tenia limites circunscriptos a un circulo popiliano -estrecha, somera, recelosa, lapidaria, espantadiza como ave zancuda que se abate en una loma en donde no hay para ella alimento, y al pretender remontarse a los aires se arrastra...

The Algerian War in French-Language Comics: Postcolonial Memory, History, and Subjectivity
ISBN: 9781498516082 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The decolonization of Algeria represents a turning point in world history, marking the end of France's colonial empire, the birth of the Algerian republic, and the appearance of the Third World and pan-Arabism. Algeria emerged from colonial domination to negotiate the release of American hostages in Iran during the Carter administration. Radical Islam would later rise from the ashes of Algeria's failed democracy, leading to a civil war and the training of Algerian terrorists in Afghanistan. Moreover, the decolonization of Algeria offered an imperfect model of decolonization to other nations...

Pertenece al grupo de -novelas de tesis- del autor canario y narra un drama de intolerancia religiosa con final tragico. La accion, que transcurre en un medio provinciano similar al construido en su novela anterior, Dona Perfecta, describe la relacion entre los jovenes Gloria y Daniel, cuyo amor sucumbe ante la postura irreconciliable entre el fanatismo catolico y el judaista que profesan sus familias y ellos mismos.

Grito de Gloria
ISBN: 9781544602721 / Hiszpański / Miękka / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eduardo Acevedo Diaz es uno de los maximos exponentes de la novela costumbrista uruguaya del siglo XIX, -Grito de gloria- es buena prueba de ello. Escrita en 1893, basa su relato en la cruzada de 1825: la batalla de Sarandi, donde las caballerias gauchas, con Lavalleja al frente, vencen a los enemigos, en un lance extremadamente importante donde se deciden los destinos de Uruguay. La naturaleza y el medio social, con algunas intencionadas incursiones en el campo de las tendencias politicas que se podian ver ya perfiladas en el panorama nacional, dan los elementos de este relato. No debemos...

The Literary Culture of Early Modern Scotland: Manuscript Production and Transmission, 1560-1625
ISBN: 9780198811749 / Angielski / Miękka / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study presents a history of the literary culture of early-modern Scotland (1560-1625), based on extensive study of the literary manuscript. It argues for the importance of three key places of production of such manuscripts: the royal court, burghs and towns, and regional houses (stately homes, but also minor lairdly and non-aristocratic households). This attention to place facilitates a discussion of, respectively, courtly, urban or civic, and regional literary cultures. Sebastiaan Verweij's methodology stems from bibliographical scholarship and the study of the 'History of the Book',...
