Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: Revised Edition
ISBN: 9780268191504 / Angielski / Twarda / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This comprehensive, critical edition of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is the fruit of William Vantuono's research on the fourteenth-century romance. In combining fantasy and realism, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight praises court life with an undercurrent of satire against a declining chivalric ideal. The poem calls up from the mythic past the shadows of archetypal figures, yet inspires modern psychoanalytic interpretations, and entertains while teaching a moral-religious lesson.

Medieval Arts Doctrines on Ambiguity and Their Places in Langland's Poetics
ISBN: 9780773520738 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chamberlin's focal point for this synthesis is the concept of ambiguity, which has played an important role in the liberal arts tradition and in medieval discourses regarding reading and preaching - discourses that are fundamental to Langland's poetic ways with words. His work takes its place among other recent attempts to retrieve medieval literary theory, making it possible for it to inform the reading of medieval literature, but places this theory within a particularly wide context. Chamberlin claims that the excess of meaning ambiguity gives language is at least as important to the...

Yeats and Afterwords: Christ, Culture, and Crisis
ISBN: 9780268207212 / Angielski / Twarda / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Yeats and Afterwords, contributors articulate W. B. Yeats's powerful, multilayered sense of belatedness as part of his complex literary method. They explore how Yeats deliberately positioned himself at various historical endpoints—of Romanticism, of the Irish colonial experience, of the Ascendancy, of civilization itself—and, in doing so, created a distinctively modernist poetics of iteration capable of registering the experience of finality and loss. While the crafting of such a poetics remained a constant throughout Yeats's career, the particular shape it took varied over time,...

A collection of new essays on the remarkable work produced by the poet Geoffrey Hill since the mid-1990s.

Contemporary Literature of Africa: Tijan M. Sallah and Literary Works of the Gambia
ISBN: 9781604978674 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book focuses on a relatively neglected aspect of African literature. Tijan M.

The Rimbaud of Leeds: The Political Character of Tony Harrison's Poetry
ISBN: 9781604979275 / Angielski / Twarda / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book examines the political meanings of Tony Harrison's imaginative works and offers a reassessment of the poet's political character. While Harrison's class political analysis has been central to much of the discussion of his poetry, his concern with colonialism still generates relatively little commentary. The nature of his republicanism and its importance for his poetry has been neglected, while his humanism tends to be seen as at odds with his politics. This study discusses Harrison's concern with internal colonialism in the United Kingdom and internationalist anti-colonial poetic....

"My unwasht Muse"
ISBN: 9783484421417 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Im 17. Jahrhundert vollzieht sich ein tiefgreifender Wandel in der Darstellung von Korper und Erotik. Wahrend die durch Donne und Crashaw reprasentierten Metaphysicals die Theologie unter dem Signum des Erotischen darstellen und zugleich das Korperliche theologisieren, kommt es bei den Cavaliers seit den 1620ern zum Bruch dieser Allianzen. Beeinflusst durch die Erfindung der Buhnenfigur des Don Juan inszenieren Dichter wie Carew, Suckling und der Earl of Rochester die Erotik als quantitative Groe und legen somit den Grundstein fur die misogyne Pornographie spaterer Jahrhunderte. Im 17. Jahrhundert vollzieht sich ein tiefgreifender Wandel in der Darstellung von Korper und Erotik. Wahrend die durch Donne und Crashaw reprasent... |

Romance and Revolution
ISBN: 9780521450188 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The revival of romance as a literary form and the imaginative impact of the French Revolution are acknowledged influences on English Romanticism, but their relationship has rarely been addressed. In this innovative study of the transformations of a genre, David Duff examines the paradox whereby the unstable visionary world of romance came to provide an apt language for the representation of revolution, and how the literary form was itself politicized in the period. Drawing on an extensive range of textual and visual sources, the author traces the ambivalent ideological overtones of the...

Patricia Sloane's study is a detailed reassessment of two of the poet's most provocative works that examines Eliot's allusions and larger purpose.

A Queer Book
ISBN: 9780748605064 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 'It will be a grand book for thae Englishers for they winna understand a word of it, ' Hogg's boast to William Blackwood. Witty, humorous and comical as the title implies, the eccentric nature of many of the poems collected here nevertheless belies the often serious and moral issues contained within. Newly available in paperback, and including many of Hogg's better known longer pieces, the present volume is based on the first edition of A Queer Book to be published since 1832 - though the similarity between the two editions ends with the running order. While the text for the original edition...

The Poems of John Keats : A Routledge Study Guide and Sourcebook
ISBN: 9780415234771 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Few modern critics would dispute Keats's status as one of the great English poets and many consider his 'Lamia', 'Isabella', 'The Eve of St. Agnes' and Other Poems as the most important single volume of verse to be published during the Romantic period. Perhaps more importantly, he remains one of the most popular poets of any era. This sourcebook offers an introduction to his life, contexts and work, and to the wealth of critical responses to his poetry. The Contexts section offers a sketch of Keats's brief but crowded life and excerpts from key letters, as well as a chronology and key to...
