Spenser, Kyd, and the Authorship of "The Spanish Tragedy"
ISBN: 9781433162626 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Spenser, Kyd, and the Authorship of "The Spanish Tragedy" maintains that Edmund Spenser and not Thomas Kyd is the author of The Spanish Tragedy, written in 1590/1592. This argument is based on the strength of the internal evidence and not on computermetrics, linguistic statistics, or parallel passages. The Spanish Tragedy and Spenser's works are united by sources, themes, methods, and language to the point of authorial equation. Thomas Heywood provided the only attribution of the play to Kyd in 1612, but given the depth of the learning, the apocalyptic context of the anti-Spanish theme, and...

James Hogg: A Bard of Nature's Making
ISBN: 9783039108978 / Angielski / Miękka / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book sheds new light on James Hogg, the Scottish poet (1770-1835), going beyond the Ettrick Shepherd stereotype. By focussing on Hogg s poetry (Scottish Pastorals, The Queen s Wake, Jacobite Relics, Queen Hynde, Pilgrims of the Sun) it shows that his work, and the critical response to it, was significantly shaped by the concept of the autodidact: a working-class writer who was considered to be a poet of Nature s Making .
The image of the autodidact is pursued from its beginnings Ramsay s Gentle Shepherd, Macpherson s Ossian, Burns... This book sheds new light on James Hogg, the Scottish poet (1770-1835), going beyond the Ettrick Shepherd stereotype. By focussing on Hogg s poetry (<...

Imperial Affliction: Eighteenth-Century British Poets and Their Twentieth-Century Lives
ISBN: 9781433108723 / Angielski / Twarda / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. -In many ways-, Robert J.C. Young writes, -colonization from the very first carried with it the seeds of its own destruction.- Imperial Affliction examines some ways in which Young s observation could be applied to problems of subjectivity and influence within the colonizing nations themselves, particularly eighteenth-century Britain. How might these -seeds of destruction- manifest themselves as problems of identity? How might the very selves with greatest access to self-affirmation the idea of the empire, the idea of British citizenry, the idea of the British self actually find...

John Keats and the Culture of Dissent
ISBN: 9780198186298 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book overturns received ideas about Keats as a poet of "beauty" and "sensuousness," highlighting the little studied political perspectives of his works.

The book also offers new research about Keats's early life that opens valuable and often provocative new perspectives on his poetry.

ISBN: 9780198757351 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Charles Darwin and the Church of William Wordsworth is a study of the cultural connections between two of the nineteenth century's most influential figures, Charles Darwin and William Wordsworth. When Darwin published On the Origin of Species, his reading public's affective response to the natural world had already been profoundly influenced by William Wordsworth. Wordsworth presented nature as benign, harmonious, a source of moral inspiration and spiritual blessing, and a medium through which one might enter into communion with the Divine. Long after his death, he...

The Complete Works of W. H. Auden: Libretti and Other Dramatic Writings, 1939-1973
ISBN: 9780691033013 / Angielski / Twarda / 800 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. W. H. Auden called opera the "last refuge of the High Style," and considered it the one art in which the grand manner survived the ironic levelings of modernity. He began writing libretti soon after he arrived in America in 1939 and abandoned his earlier attempts to write public, political drama. Opera gave him the opportunity to rise to the high style in public, not in an attempt to elevate his own status as a poet, but in service of the heroic voice of the singers. These works present their mythical actions with a direct intensity unlike anything in even his greatest poems. In this... W. H.

Spenser's Ovidian Poetics
ISBN: 9781611491357 / Angielski / Twarda / 271 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. No history of the longstanding critical tradition of exploring the Spenser-Ovid relationship has been written. In this book Professor Stapleton constructs such a critical history: the annotations of E. K. in The Shepheardes Calender (1579), the Enlightenment editions of The Faerie Queene, the philological mode of the Spenser Variorum (1932-57), and the recent, innovative work of Harry Berger and Colin Burrow. Aside from occasional articles, no truly comprehensive analysis of their kinship as love poets exists, either. The author explores Spenser's emulation of Ovid's amatory poetics. His...

William Blake's Religious Vision: There's a Methodism in His Madness
ISBN: 9780739177907 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this innovative study, Jesse challenges the prevailing view of Blake as an antinomian and describes him as a theological moderate who defended an evangelical faith akin to the Methodism of John Wesley. She arrives at this conclusion by contextualizing Blake's works not only within Methodism, but in relation to other religious groups he addressed in his art, including the Established Church, deism, and radical religions. Further, she analyzes his works by sorting out the theological "road signs" he directed to each audience. This approach reveals Blake engaging each faction through its most...
