Connell Guide To Charles Dickens's Great Expectations
Av John Sutherland, Jolyon Connell
Häftad, 2012
122 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Great Expectations is one of the best-selling Victorian novels of our time. No Dickens work, with the exception of A Christmas Carol, has been adapted more for both film and television. It has been as popular with critics as it has with the public. In 1937, George Bernard Shaw called the novel …
Connell Guide To Shakespeare's Macbeth
Av Graham Bradshaw, Jolyon Connell m. fl.
Häftad, 2012
126 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Macbeth may well be the most terrifying play in the English language, but it hasn’t always been seen that way. It has divided critics more deeply than any other Shakespearian tragedy – and the argument, in essence, has been about just how terrifying the play really is and about how we should react, …
Connell Guide To Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness

Lägg i varukorg
Conrad finished Heart of Darkness on 9th February, 1899 and on publication it had an impact as powerful as any long short story, or short novel ever written – it is only 38,000 words. It quickly became, and has remained, Conrad’s most famous work and has been regarded by many in America, if not …

Lägg i varukorg
Romeo and Juliet is routinely called “the world’s greatest love story”, as though it is all about romance. The play features some of the most lyrical passages in all of drama, and the lovers are young, beautiful, and ardent. But when we look at the play, the lyricism and the romance are not really …

Connell Guide To John Milton's Paradise Lost
Häftad, 2012
126 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Dr Johnson sums up the case against Milton: “the want of human interest is always felt.” It is the apparent distance of Paradise Lost from ordinary humanity that has thrilled or repelled critics throughout the ages. While many readers are carried away by Milton’s sublimity, others are daunted by …

Lägg i varukorg
“A heroine whom no-one but myself will much like,” the author famously proclaimed. In fact, in any league of likeability Miss Woodhouse is streets ahead of Miss Fanny – the ostentatiously “meek” heroine of Mansfield Park. Meek Emma is not. Indeed it is her sense of absolute sovereignty over her …

Connell Guide To Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre

126 kr
Lägg i varukorg
Jane Eyre, published on 16th October 1847, was an instant popular success. More than 150 years later, it still powerfully affects its readers with all the charge of a new-minted work. It is easy to forget, now, how shocking it was to its mid-19th century readers. Virtually every early reviewer felt …

Connell Guide to Shakespeare's Second Tetralogy
Av Cedric Watts
Häftad, 2014
126 kr
Lägg i varukorg
In his first tetralogy of history plays (Henry VI Parts 1, 2 and 3, and Richard III), Shakespeare offered the most extensive dramatic sequence since the great days of ancient Greek drama in Athens. Critics have sometimes disparaged this first tetralogy as episodic and amateurish. There are various …

Lägg i varukorg
“There never was a wilder story imagined,” wrote one reviewer on the first publication of Frankenstein in 1818: “we do not well see why it should have been written.” The admiring Sir Walter Scott felt that Frankenstein’s “unexpected and fearful events… shook a little even our firm nerves”. The …

In 1954 William Golding was 43 years old and a nobody. He had been demobbed from the navy at the end of World War Two and returned to his pre-war job teaching English at Bishop Wordsworth’s School in Salisbury. Always hard up, he lived in what he called a “lousy council flat” with his wife, Ann, …

Connell Guide To Shakespeare's Othello
Av Graham Bradshaw, Jolyon Connell
Häftad, 2012
122 kr
Tillfälligt slut
With the exception of Hamlet, Othello is Shakespeare’s most controversial play. It is also his most shocking. Dr Johnson famously described the ending as “not to be endured”, and H.H. Furness, after editing the Variorum edition of the play, confessed to wishing that “this tragedy had never been …

Häftad, 2012

Tillfälligt slut
The overwhelming majority of novels come, enjoy their brief moment, and go into oblivion never to return, but not The Great Gatsby: as this book shows it is one of the greatest of American novels.

Häftad, 2012

Tillfälligt slut
In the 400 years since The Tempest was first staged, millions of words have been written about it. Critics, directors and actors have interpreted it in widely different ways and developed theories ranging from the more-or-less plausible to the eccentric and the completely outlandish. It is …
