The Force of Tenderness: The Union of Spirit and Soul
ISBN: 9781597311700 / Angielski / Miękka / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In The Force of Tendernes, Dorothy Avery sets out Williiam Blake's vision of the sexes, and then applies it as a template to Western theories of women and men from the beginning. She is concerned with matriarchy and patriarchy in our own earliest history and pre-history. In Homer's Odyssey and Aeschylus' Oresteia she examines how far the theories of Blake and of the anthropologists are realized there.

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.'

ISBN: 9780198789468 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lying in Early Modern English Culture is a major study of ideas of truth and falsehood in early modern England from the advent of the Reformation to the aftermath of the failed Gunpowder Plot. The period is characterised by panic and chaos when few had any idea how religious, cultural, and social life would develop after the traumatic division of Christendom. While many saw the need for a secular power to define the truth others declared that their allegiances belonged elsewhere. Accordingly there was a constant battle between competing authorities for the right to declare what was...

What we imagine can crush us or create us, destroy us or heal us; it can pitch us into battles with demons or set us among the songs of angels.
