In the space of a few short decades, Ireland has become one of the most globalised societies in the Western world. The full ramifications of this transformation for traditional Irish communities, religious practice, economic activity, as well as literature and the arts, are as yet unknown.

Philip Roth's Postmodern American Romance: Critical Essays on Selected Works- Foreword by Derek Parker Royal
ISBN: 9781433105982 / Angielski / Twarda / 109 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The central thesis of this book is that Philip Roth s work is most accurately viewed as postmodernist American Historical Romance, rather than marginalized as Jewish-American. Four works are analyzed in relation to this thesis and to the specific idea that Roth s contribution is entirely within mainstream American literature and culture. Emphasizing the importance and influence of Hebrew Scripture, the author demonstrates that, paradoxically, Roth s Jewishness locates him squarely within the canon of (a Hebraic) America and its letters."

ISBN: 9783039105830 / Angielski / Miękka / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Ranging widely over texts from both within and outside La Comedie humaine, the author analyses Balzac s determination to invest the Rousseauist nostalgia for country over city with an updated rationale. A champion of central authority and absolutist government,...
