The Unknown Relatives
The Unknown Relatives analyzes a large body of Victorian literary texts dealing with the topic of Catholicism and Catholics, written from the non-Catholic perspective. The readings of these texts are inspired by psychoanalytic criticism, primarily by the work of Freud and Kristeva and includes the readings of a number of Victorian authors, both canonical like Charlotte Bronté, William Thackeray, and Charles Dickens and lesser-known ones such as George Borrow, John Shorthouse, and Mrs Humphry Ward.
Women’s Literary Portraits in the Victorian and Neo-Victorian Novel
Women's Literary Portraits in the Victorian and Neo-Victorian Novel is a dialogical and intertextual journey through the pages of nineteenth-century novels and their modern, revisionary counterparts. It is the book not only dedicated to the readers associated with academia, but also to all literature enthusiasts, students of literature, and those readers who are fascinated by the Victorian novel, as well as by its current neo-Victorian revival. The focus of this work revolves around the literary portrayals of Victorian and neo-Victorian women who, as the authoress believes, are located in the centre of socio-cultural and historical narratives shaping both the past and the present.

Representations of Book Culture in Eighteenth-Century English Imaginative Writing
This book is a contribution to the new field of literary studies which is informed by book history and takes interest in the intersection of the ideal and material aspects of literature. It studies the ways eighteenth-century English novels, plays and poems illustrated the changes which the growth of literacy, the proliferation of writing and the emergence of print marketplace made in the social and cultural life of Britain and demonstrated the contingency of the emerging criticism on the technological and economic conditions of book production. The first part focusses on the representation of the tensions created by the emergence of literate society and on the hopes and fears awoken by the expansion of the cultural public sphere caused by the proliferation of print. The second part explores the contribution of literature to the shaping of the roles of authors, readers and patrons in the field of literary production.
Literacka manifestacja tożsamości
Niniejsze opracowanie stanowi próbę charakterystyki spuścizny piśmienniczej niemieckojęzycznych duchownych w I połowie XX wieku na tle różnych kontekstów – zarówno literackich, jak i pozaliterackich. Model narracji tożsamościowej ukazuje analizowaną twórczość między innymi poprzez charakterystykę głównych wątków tematycznych z uwzględnieniem ówcześnie panującej cenzury kościelnej oraz poprzez ukształtowanie warstwy słowno-stylistycznej poszczególnych utworów. Poglądy na literaturę odwołującą się do tradycji chrześcijańskiej nawiązują nadal jeszcze do stereotypu, według którego jest ona słaba artystycznie, przesiąknięta ideologią i natrętnie moralizatorska. Brak właściwych metod interpretacyjnych w tym zakresie i niemałe trudności w obcowaniu z utworami zakorzenionymi w przestrzeni religijnej skłaniają do postawienia pytania o wyznaczniki literackiej manifestacji tożsamości. Spojrzenie na przywołaną w monografii twórczość inaczej niż poprzez pryzmat konkurencji wobec tak zwanego humanizmu laickiego czy standardy literatury ewangelizacyjnej znacznie podniesie jej wiarygodność.
Crossing Borders in Gender and Culture
While gender issues are almost always multidimensional and complex, this book discusses them from a cultural angle and with a focus on crossing borders, to represent their concepts meaningfully and to illuminate their realities as sharply as possible. Its five parts detail specific aspects and issues within that focus, namely communication, literary representation, equality and violence, work and politics, and cross-cultural connections. This combination of a wide topical range with specific discussions of gender issues makes the volume’s insights worthwhile for a wide range of readers, from individuals and groups engaging with current gender challenges, to institutional and political decision-makers entrusted with improving gender relations on national or international levels, up to social, economic or educational institutions empowered to implement such solutions in everyday reality. Its “unity in diversity” contributes to gender and cultural studies by offering considerations and conclusions that are specific and generalizable, theoretically robust and empirically tested, professionally rational and poetically ravishing.
