Figures in Black: Words, Signs, and the Racial Self
ISBN: 9780195060744 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For over two centuries, critics and the black community have tended to approach African-American literature as simply one more front in the important war against racism, valuing slave narratives and twentieth-century works alike, primarily for their political impact.
In this volume, Henry Louis Gates, Jr., a leading scholar in African-American studies, attacks the notion of African-American literature as a kind of social realism. Insisting, instead, that critics focus on the most repressed element of African-American criticism--the language of the text--Gates advocates the use of a close,...

Flesh Made Word: Female Figures and Women's Bodies
ISBN: 9780195060812 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Helena Michie's provocative new work looks at how women's bodies are portrayed in a variety of Victorian literary and non-literary genres--from painting, poems, and novels, to etiquette, books, sex manuals, and pornography. After identifying a series of codes and taboos that govern the depiction of women in such activities as eating and working, she then turns to the physical descriptions of Victorian heroines, focusing on those parts of their bodies that are erased, and on those that become fetishized in conventional description. Her vivid analysis moves forward in time with a consideration...

This interpretive study analyzes the complex politics of literature, criticism, and professionalism.

He presents extended expositions and criticisms of the views of several influential poststructuralist writers, including Jacques Derrida and Luce Irigaray. In keeping with recent "post-poststructuralist" trends in France and...

Romantic Medicine and John Keats
ISBN: 9780195063073 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Using original research in scientific treatises, philosophical manuscripts, and political documents, this pioneering study describes the neglected era of revolutionary medicine in Europe through the writings of the English poet and physician, John Keats. De Almeida explores the four primary concerns of Romantic medicine--the physician's task, the meaning of life, the prescription of disease and health, and the evolution of matter and mind--and reveals their expression in Keats's poetry and thought. By delineating a distinct but unknown era in the history of medicine, charting the poet's...

Eliot, Joyce and Company
ISBN: 9780195063431 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Informed by a writer's view of how a writer works, this perceptive study illuminates the careers of two major figures of twentieth-century literature, T.S. Eliot and James Joyce. Sultan engages in a unique form of historical criticism, blending a literary history of Modernism with a richly intimate knowledge of three key works--"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," The Waste Land, and Ulysses--and confronting questions of literary theory implicit in the modernist period. In doing so, he examines the antecedents of Modernism, focusing on three major influences--Flaubert,...

The Culture of Sentiment: Race, Gender, and Sentimentality in Nineteenth-Century America
ISBN: 9780195063547 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Samuels's collection of critical essays gives body and scope to the subject of nineteenth-century sentimentality by situating it in terms of "women's culture" and issues of race. Presenting an interdisciplinary range of approaches that consider sentimental culture before and after the Civil War, these critical studies of American literature and culture fundamentally reorient the field. Moving beyond alignment with either pro- or anti-sentimentality camps, the collection makes visible the particular racial and gendered forms that define the aesthetics and politics of the culture of sentiment....

The Word in Black and White: Reading Race in American Literature, 1638-1867
ISBN: 9780195065923 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Nelson provides a study of the ways in which Anglo-American authors constructed "race" in their works from the time of the first British colonists through the period of the Civil War. She focuses on some eleven texts, ranging from widely-known to little-considered, that deal with the relations among Native, African, and Anglo-Americans, and places her readings in the historical, social, and material contexts of an evolving U.S. colonialism and internal imperialism. Nelson shows how a novel such as The Last of the Mohicans sought to reify the Anglo historical past and simultaneously...

Crimes of Writing: Problems in the Containment of Representation
ISBN: 9780195066173 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the origins of modern copyright in early eighteenth-century culture to the efforts to represent nature and death in postmodern fiction, this pioneering book explores a series of problems regarding the containment of representation. Stewart focuses on specific cases of "crimes of writing"--the forgeries of George Psalmanazar, the production of "fakelore," the "ballad scandals" of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the imposture of Thomas Chatterton, and contemporary legislation regarding graffiti and pornography. In this way, she emphasizes the issues which arise once language is...

London Calling: V.S. Naipaul, Postcolonial Mandarin
ISBN: 9780195067170 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. V.S. Naipaul stands as the most lionized literary mediator between First and Third World experience and is ordinarily viewed as possessing a unique authority on the subject of cross-cultural relations in the post-colonial era. In contesting this orthodox reading of his work, Nixon argues that Naipaul is more than simply an unduly influential writer. He has become a regressive Western institution, articulating a set of values that perpetuates political interests and representational modes that have their origin in the high imperial age. Nixon uses Naipaul's travel writing to probe the core...

The American Ideal: Literary History as a Worldly Activity
ISBN: 9780195067651 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work argues that American literary scholarship enshrines a reactionary vision of history, of narrative, and of America itself. Carafiol examines the way idealist assumptions have been essential to doing American literary history and unwraps the implications of that symbiosis for current debates about the aims and methods of literary history in general. Carafiol directs his critique not only at traditional approaches to American literature but also at the most influential recent efforts by New Historicists and cultural critics to revise that tradition. Reconsidering the debate between...

Their Fathers' Daughters: Hannah More, Maria Edgeworth, and Patriarchal Complicity
ISBN: 9780195068535 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Current feminist theory has developed powerful explanations for some women writers' rebellion against patriarchy. But other women writers did not rebel; rather, they supported and celebrated patriarchy. Examining the lives and selected works of two late eighteenth-century writers, Hannah More and Maria Edgeworth, this book explores what it means for a woman writer to identify with her father and the patriarchal tradition he represents. Kowaleski-Wallace exposes the psychological, social, and historical factors that motivated such an identification, and reveals the consequences that result...

Strange Power of Speech: Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Literary Possession
ISBN: 9780195068566 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the relationship between tropes of literary property and signification in the writings and literary politics of Wordsworth and Coleridge. Eilenberg argues that a complex of ideas about property, propriety, and possession sets the terms for the two writers' mutually revisionary efforts and informs the images of literary authority, textual identity, and poetic figuration evident in their major works. Eilenberg's readings of the collaboration and its principle texts bring to bear a combination of deconstructive, psychoanalytic, and both new and literary historical methods. The...

Abyss of Reason: Cultural Movements, Revelations, and Betrayals
ISBN: 9780195068573 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this pathbreaking study, the historical relationship between nineteenth-century spiritualism and twentieth-century surrealism is the basis for a general examination of conflicting movements in literature, art, philosophy, science, and other areas of social life. Because spiritualism delved into the world beyond humanity and surrealism was founded on the world within, the two provide a provocative frame for examining the struggles within modern culture. Cottom argues that we must conceive of interpretation in terms of urgency, desire, fierce contention, and impromptu deviation if we want to...
