Multiple Authorship and the Myth of Solitary Genius
ISBN: 9780195068610 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a study of the collaborative creation behind literary works that are usually considered to be written by a single author. Although most theories of interpretation and editing depend on a concept of single authorship, many works are actually developed by more than one author. Stillinger examines case histories from Keats, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Mill, and T.S. Eliot, as well as from American fiction, plays, and films, demonstrating that multiple authorship is a widespread phenomenon. He shows that the reality of how an author produces a work is often more complex than is expressed in...

Waking Giants: The Presence of the Past in Modernism
ISBN: 9780195068627 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a study of the most paradoxical aspect of modernism, its obsession with the past. Eliot wrote that the artist must be conscious "not only of the pastness of the past, but of its presence." This creed permeated the movement: Modernists believed that the energies of the past could be resurrected in modern works, and that they could be the very force that makes those works modern: the urge of Pound and others to "make it new" stemmed from seeing the past as a source of renewal. Schneidau focuses on separate texts that incorporate these concepts: Joyce's Ulysses, Hardy's poems,...

The Garden of Priapus: Sexuality and Aggression in Roman Humor
ISBN: 9780195068733 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Statues of the god Priapus stood in Roman gardens to warn potential thieves that the god would rape them if they attempted to steal from him. In this book, Richlin argues that the attitude of sexual aggressiveness in defense of a bounded area serves as a model for Roman satire from Lucilius to Juvenal. Using literary, anthropological, psychological, and feminist methodologies, she suggests that aggressive sexual humor reinforces aggressive behavior on both the individual and societal levels, and that Roman satire provides an insight into Roman culture. Including a substantial and provocative...

Removals: Nineteenth-Century American Literature and the Politics of Indian Affairs
ISBN: 9780195069310 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book resituates some familiar nineteenth-century texts within the context of public debates about the place of American Indians in the civil and cultural institutions of the new American nation. Rereading texts by Melville, Hawthorne, Child, Sedgwick, Thoreau, Fuller, and Parkman, Maddox demonstrates the pervasiveness of the anxieties produced by discussion of "the Indian question" and shows how extensively they influenced the production and reception of writing in the first half of the century.

Dialogue and Literature: Apostrophe, Auditors, and the Collapse of Romantic Discourse
ISBN: 9780195069655 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Extending and reframing the works of Bakhtin, Gadamer, Ong, and Foucault--with particular emphasis on Bakhtin's late essays --Macovski constructs a theoretical model of literary dialogue and applies it to a range of Romantic texts. In reconsidering specific works within the context of cultural heuristics, rhetorical theory, and literary history, Macovski redefines Romantic discourse as both extratextual and agonistic. He thereby re-evaluates such Romantic topics as the history of the autotelic self, the proliferation of lyric orality, and the nineteenth-century critique of rhetoric. He...

The Bible and the Narrative Tradition
ISBN: 9780195070026 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Until recently, studies of the Bible centered on finding sources for historical knowledge, theological insights, or ethical advice, overlooking the true beauty of the words in the "book of books." This collection of six essays by noted literary critics and biblical scholars--including Harold Bloom, Hans Frei, Frank Kermode, James Robinson, Donald Foster, and Herbert Schneidau--breaks new ground by exploring the Bible as poetry, rhetoric, and narrative. The authors treat such issues involved in biblical narrative as its genesis, its revisionist dynamic, its fictional character, its...

Rhetoric, Comedy, and the Violence of Language in Aristophanes' Clouds
ISBN: 9780195070170 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is an intelligent and unusually thought-provoking reading of Aristophanes' Clouds. O'Regan focuses on logos, or the power of argument, and its effects, and on the self-awareness of the second Clouds as a comedy of logos directed toward an audience made resistant by devotion to the body. Within and without the play, logos meets defeat when confronted with human nature and desire. The argument conveys much insight into fifth-century thought and the play's workings, the more so because it balances rhetoric with comedy, and reminds the reader that...

The Trial of Curiosity: Henry James, William James, and the Challenge of Modernity
ISBN: 9780195071245 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this important revisionist study, Posnock integrates literary and psychological criticism with social and cultural theory to make a major advance in our understanding of the life and thought of two great American figures, Henry and William James. Challenging canonical images of both brothers, Posnock is the first to place them in a rich web of cultural and intellectual affiliations comprised of a host of American and European theorists of modernity. A startlingly new Henry James emerges from a cross-disciplinary dialogue, which features Veblen, Santayana, Bourne, and Dewey, as well as...

Anxiety in Eden: A Kierkegaardian Reading of Paradise Lost
ISBN: 9780195072044 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tanner uses Kierkegaard's thought, particularly his theory of anxiety, to enrich and enliven a bold new reading of Milton's Paradise Lost. He argues that for Milton and Kierkegaard, the path to sin and to salvation lies through anxiety, that both the poet and the philosopher include anxiety--along with pain, suffering, and paradox--within the compass of paradise. The first half of the work explores anxiety in Eden before the Fall, providing fresh perspectives on such issues as free will, the problem of a fall before the Fall, original sin, the etiology of evil, and prelapsarian...

The Wicked Sisters: Women Poets, Literary History, and Discord
ISBN: 9780195072129 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This provocative study of the lives and works of Emily Dickinson, Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop, Adrienne Rich, and Gwendolyn Brooks focuses on the historical struggles and differences among and within women writers and among feminists themselves. Erkkila explores the troubled relations women writers experienced with both masculine and feminine literary cultures, arguing that popular feminist views often romanticize and maternalize women writers and their interrelations in ways that effectively reinforce the very gender stereotypes and polarities which initially grounded women's...

William Carlos Williams and the Diagnostics of Culture
ISBN: 9780195072266 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Bremen's study examines the development of William Carlos Williams's poetics, focusing in particular on Williams's ongoing fascination with the effects of poetry and prose, and his life-long friendship with Kenneth Burke. Using a framework based on Burke's and Williams's theoretical writings and correspondence, as well as on the work of contemporary cultural critics, Bremen looks closely at how Williams's poetic strategies are intimately tied to his medical practice, incorporating a form of methodological empiricism that extends his diagnoses beyond the individual to include both language and...

The Cowboy: Representations of Labor in an American Work Culture
ISBN: 9780195072433 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy uses literary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding,...

Listening to Silences: New Essays in Feminist Criticism
ISBN: 9780195073072 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thirty years ago, in a lecture at the Radcliffe Institute, Tillie Olsen first addressed the problem of silences in literature--paving the way for future explorations of the subject, including her landmark work, Silences. The subject of silences and silencing--as fact, as trope, as lens through which to understand literary history--has been central to feminist criticism ever since.
In Listening to Silences, a group of distinguished feminist literary critics reevaluates Olsen's heritage to reassert, extend, redefine, and question her insights, and to probe the dynamics of...

The Heliand: The Saxon Gospel
ISBN: 9780195073768 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A spirited retelling of the Gospel story in a Germanic setting, the ninth-century A.D. Old Saxon epic poem The Heliand is at last available in English in Ronald Murphy's graceful new translation. Representing the first full integration and poetic reworking of the Gospel story into Northern European warrior imagery and culture, the poem finds a place for many Old Northern religious concepts and images while remaining faithful to the orthodox Christian teaching of the Gospel of St. Mark. Accessible to students of medieval and comparative literature, Murphy's introduction and notes...

Domestic Allegories of Political Desire: The Black Heroine's Text at the Turn of the Century
ISBN: 9780195073898 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why did African-American women novelists use idealized stories of bourgeois courtship and marriage to mount arguments on social reform during the last decade of the nineteenth century, during a time when resurgent racism conditioned the lives of all black Americans? Such stories now seem like apolitical fantasies to contemporary readers. This is the question at the center of Tate's examination of the novels of Pauline Hopkins, Emma Kelley, Amelia Johnson, Katherine Tillman, and Frances Harper. Domestic Allegories of Political Desire is more than a literary study; it is also a social...

A Mixed Race: Ethnicity in Early America
ISBN: 9780195075236 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This collection of new essays enters one of the most topical and energetic debates of our time--the subject of ethnicity. The recent vigorous debates being waged over questions raised by the phenomenon of multiculturalism in America highlight the fact that American culture has arisen out of an unusually rich and interactive ethnic mix. The essays in A Mixed Race suggest that American society was inescapably multicultural from its very beginnings and that this representation of cultural differences fundamentally defined American culture. While recent scholarship has looked extensively...

A Fictive People: Antebellum Economic Development and the American Reading Public
ISBN: 9780195075823 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores an important boundary between history and literature: the antebellum reading public for books written by Americans. Zboray describes how fiction took root in the United States and what literature contributed to the readers' sense of themselves. He traces the rise of fiction as a social history centered on the book trade and chronicles the large societal changes shaping, circumscribing, and sometimes defining the limits of the antebellum reading public. A Fictive People explodes two notions that are commonplace in cultural histories of the nineteenth century: first,...

Ring Lardner and the Other
ISBN: 9780195076004 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ring Lardner and the Other is actually two books, mutually embedded. The first is about Ring Lardner: a long reading of a single Lardner short story, "Who Dealt?," a briefer look at his life and work, and an exploration of his reception. The second is about the "Other," in an expanded Lacanian sense: the speaking of various unconscious voices (mother and father and child, culture and anarchy, majority and minority) through literary characters and their authors and readers. The Lardner book explores the contradictions of Lardner's patriarchal masculinity--how such a dour, sexist...

Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, and Radical Modernism
ISBN: 9780195076936 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Ezra Pound and Wyndham Lewis developed a highly experimental art; they were attracted simultaneously to political programs remarkably backward in outlook--the autocracies of Fascist Italy and Germany. That paradox, central to the problematic achievement of Anglo-American modernism, is freshly addressed in this study. Here Sherry examines the influence of music and painting on literature, presents original research on European intellectual history, and proposes a new understanding of ideology as a force in the literary imagination. Following the example of continental ideologues, the English...

The Other Mary Shelley: Beyond Frankenstein
ISBN: 9780195077407 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although Frankenstein is now widely taught in classes on Romanticism, little attention has been paid to the considerable corpus of Mary Shelley's other works. Indeed the excitement of the last decade at feminist approaches to Frankenstein has ironically obscured the persona of its author. This collection of essays, written by a preeminent group of Romantic scholars, sketches a portrait of the "other Mary Shelley": the writer and intellectual who recognized the turbulent interplay among issues of family, gender, and society, and whose writings resonate strongly in the setting...
