Описание: Samuel Quiccheberg`s Inscriptiones, first published in Latin in 1565, is an ambitious effort to demonstrate the pragmatic value of curiosity cabinets, or Wunderkammer, to princely collectors in 16th-century Europe and, by so doing, inspire them to develop their own such collections. This is a translation of Quiccheberg`s seminal 16th century text.

Описание: Proposing a new approach to Jamesian aesthetics, Daniel Hannah examines the complicated relationship between Henry James's impressionism and his handling of 'the public.' Hannah challenges solely phenomenological or pictorial accounts of literary impressionism, instead foregrounding James's treatment of the word 'impression' as a mediatory unit that both resists and accommodates invasive publicity. Thus even as he envisages a breakdown between public and private at the end of the nineteenth century, James registers that breakdown not only as a threat but also as an opportunity for aesthetic gain. Beginning with a reading of 'The Art of Fiction' as both a public-forming essay and an aesthetic manifesto, Hannah's study examines James's responses to painterly impressionism and to aestheticism, and offers original readings of What Maisie Knew, The Wings of the Dove, and The American Scene that treat James's articulation of impressionism in relation to the child, the future of the novel, and shifts in the American national imaginary. Hannah's study persuasively argues that throughout his career James returns to impressionability not only as a site of immense vulnerability in an age of rapid change but also as a crucible for reshaping, challenging, and adapting to the public sphere's shifting forms.

Описание: The child of violently divorced parents, Maisie Farange opens her eyes on a distinctly modern world. Mothers and fathers keep changing their partners and names, while she herself becomes the pretext for all sorts of adult sexual intrigue. The novel traces the course of her education and ends with the death of her childhood. It is one of James`s finest studies of lost innocence.

Описание: Moving beyond established ideas of haunted Henry James, this book argues that death is as important a concept for understanding James`s fiction as gender, sexuality and modernity, which have come to dominate James studies.

Описание: The book reads Sir Henry Rider Haggard`s historical romance Cleopatra (1889). It demonstrates the concept of coincidentia oppositorum as the basic principle of life, and shows Cleopatra defeating death. The writer underscores the significance of simulating ancient Egypt, submerging in the unconscious, and espousing the spiritual world.

Описание: The intellectual relationship between Henry James and his father proved to be an influential resource for the novelist. Taylor examines the nature of both men`s engagement with autobiographical strategies, issues of gender reform, and the language of religion.
Описание: Telling in Henry James argues that James's contribution to narrative and narrative theories is a lifelong exploration of how to "tell," but not, as Douglas has it in "The Turn of the Screw" in any "literal, vulgar way." James's fiction offers multiple, and often contradictory, reading (in)directions. Zwinger’s overarching contention is that the telling detail is that which cannot be accounted for with any single critical or theoretical lens—that reading James is in some real sense a reading of the disquietingly inassimilable "fictional machinery." The analyses offered by each of the six chapters are grounded in close reading and focused on oddments—textual equivalents to the “particles” James describes as caught in a silken spider web, in a famous analogy used in “The Art of Fiction” to describe the kind of “consciousness” James wants his fiction to present to the reader. Telling in Henry James attends to the sheer fun of James’s wit and verbal dexterity, to the cognitive tune-up offered by the complexities and nuances of his precise and rhythmic syntax, and to the complex and contradictory contrapuntal impact of the language on the page, tongue, and ear.
Автор: Thoreau, Henry David Название: Walden ISBN: 0199538069 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199538065 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 1424.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: In 1845 Henry David Thoreau, disdainful of America`s growing commercialism and industrialism, left his home town of Concord, Massachusetts to begin a new life alone, in a rough hut on the north-west shore of Walden Pond. Walden is Thoreau`s classic autobiographical account of this experiment in solitary living. This new edition of Walden traces the sources of Thoreau`s reading and thinking and considers the author in the context of his birthplace and his sense of its history - social, economic and natural. In addition, an ecological appendix provides modern identifications of the myriad plants and animals to which Thoreau gave increasingly close attention as he became acclimatized to his life in the woods by Walden Pond.
Автор: Fielding, Henry Название: Tom Jones ISBN: 0199536996 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780199536993 Издательство: Oxford Academ Рейтинг: Цена: 1582.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: Tom Jones is rightly regarded as Fielding`s greatest work, and one of the first and most influential of English novels. Attacked at the time as `A motley history of bastardism, fornication, and adultery`, it overflows with a marvellous assortment of prudes, whores, libertines, bumpkins, misanthropes, hypocrites, scoundrels, virgins, and all too fallible humanitarians. This carefully modernized edition is based on Fielding`s emended fourth edition text and offers the most thorough notes, maps, and bibliography. The introduction uses the latest scholarship to examine how Tom Jones exemplifies the role of the novel in the emerging eighteenth-century public sphere.
