ISBN: 9780521120791 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Richard Badenhausen examines the crucial role that collaboration with other writers played in the development of T. S. Eliot's works from the earliest poetry and unpublished prose to the late plays. He demonstrates Eliot's dependence on collaboration in order to create, but also his struggle to accept the implications of the process. In case-studies of Eliot's collaborations, Badenhausen reveals the complexities of Eliot's theory and practice of collaboration. Examining a wide range of familiar and uncollected materials, Badenhausen explores Eliot's social, psychological, textual encounters...

Wordsworth's Philosophic Song
ISBN: 9780521123501 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Wordsworth wrote that he longed to compose 'some philosophic Song/Of Truth that cherishes our daily life'. Yet he never finished The Recluse, his long philosophical poem. Simon Jarvis argues that Wordsworth's aspiration to 'philosophic song' is central to his greatness, and changed the way English poetry was written. Some critics see Wordworth as a systematic thinker, while for others he is a poet first, and a thinker only (if at all) second. Jarvis shows instead how essential both philosophy and the 'song' of poetry were to Wordsworth's achievement. Drawing on advanced work in continental...

Epic and Empire in Nineteenth-Century Britain
ISBN: 9780521123570 / Angielski / Miękka / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) In the nineteenth century, epic poetry in the Homeric style was widely seen as an ancient and anachronistic genre, yet Victorian authors worked to recreate it for the modern world. Simon Dentith explores the relationship between epic and the evolution of Britain's national identity in the nineteenth century up to the apparent demise of all notions of heroic warfare in the catastrophe of the First World War. Paradoxically, writers found equivalents of the societies which produced Homeric or Northern epics not in Europe, but on the margins of empire and among its subject peoples. Dentith...

John Betjeman and Cornwall
ISBN: 9780859898478 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Quintessentially English, Sir John Betjeman was an outsider in England and doubly so in his adopted home of Cornwall, where, as he was the first to admit, he was a foreigner. Nonetheless, as this book describes, the former Poet Laureate strove to acquire a veneer of Cornishness, discovering his own Welsh ancestry and cultivating an alternative Celtic identity that he wove during sojourns in Ireland, the other Celtic countries, and even Australia. Here eminent Cornish studies scholar Philip Payton provides a lively new account of the life of one of Britain's most beloved poets, offering new...

Aemilia Lanyer: Gender, Genre, and the Canon
ISBN: 9780813192666 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Aemilia Lanyer was a Londoner of Jewish-Italian descent and the mistress of Queen Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain. But in 1611 she did something extraordinary for a middle-class woman of the seventeenth century: she published a volume of original poems. Using standard genres to address distinctly feminine concerns, Lanyer's work is varied, subtle, provocative, and witty. Her religious poem "Salve Deus Rex Judaeorum" repeatedly projects a female subject for a female reader and casts the Passion in terms of gender conflict. Lanyer also carried this concern with gender into the very... Aemilia Lanyer was a Londoner of Jewish-Italian descent and the mistress of Queen Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain.

Sacred and Profane in Chaucer and Late Medieval Literature: Essays in Honour of John V. Fleming
ISBN: 9781442640818 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Literary depictions of the sacred and the secular from the Middle Ages are representative of the era's widely held cultural understandings related to religion and the nature of lived experience. Using late Medieval English literature, including some of Chaucer's writings, these essays do not try to define a secular realm distinct and separate from the divine or religious, but instead analyze intersections of the sacred and the profane, suggesting that these two categories are mutually constitutive rather than antithetical. With essays by former students of John V. Fleming, the...
