The Oxford Book of Victorian Ghost Stories
ISBN: 9780192804471 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The Victorians excelled at telling ghost stories. In an age of rapid scientific progress, the idea of a vindictive past able to reach out and violate the present held a special potential for terror. Throughout the nineteenth century, fictional ghost stories developed in parallel with the more general Victorian fascination with death and what lay beyond it. Though they were as much a part of the cultural and literary fabric of the age as imperial confidence, the best of the stories still retain their original power to surprise and unsettle.

After Yeats and Joyce: Reading Modern Irish Literature
ISBN: 9780192892317 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Irish literature after Yeats and Joyce, from the 1920s onwards, includes texts that have been the subject of much contention. For a start, how should Irish literature be defined: as works which have been written in Irish or as works written in English by the Irish? It is a period in which ideas of Ireland--of people, community, and nation--have been both created and reflected, and in which conceptions of a distinct Irish identity have been articulated, defended, and challenged; a period which has its origins in a time of intense political turmoil. Corcoran focuses his chapters on various...
