ISBN: 9783039101382 / Angielski / Miękka / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. John Knox has seldom been taken seriously as a literary figure; in fact it is often assumed that he was hostile to art of any kind.

Early chapters set Knox in his proper context by focusing on Scottish prose from John Ireland s Meroure of Wyssdome, through to The Complaynt of Scotland, before examining Knox s admonitory public epistles, his personal correspondence, and his more...
