Forms of Attention
Sir Frank Kermode, the British scholar, instructor, and author, was an inspired critic. Forms of Attention is based on a series of three lectures he gave on canon formation, or how we choose what art to value. The essay on Botticelli traces the artist’s sudden popularity in the nineteenth century for reasons that have more to do with poetry than painting. In the second essay, Kermode reads Hamlet from a very modern angle, offering a useful (and playful) perspective for a contemporary audience. The final essay is a defense of literary criticism as a process and conversation that, while often conflating knowledge with opinion, keeps us reading great art and working with—and for—literature.

Romans rycerski a początki zawodu pisarza w Hiszpanii. Przypadek Feliciano de Silva (ok. 1489–1554)
Kiedy rozpoczęło się profesjonalne pisarstwo? Autorka monografii, odwołując się przede wszystkim do teorii pola literackiego Pierre’a Bourdieu, stawia śmiałą tezę o początkach zawodu pisarza w Hiszpanii już w pierwszej połowie XVI wieku. Opisuje warunki panujące na rynku wydawniczym i obowiązujące prawodawstwo, a także rozwój romansu rycerskiego – najpopularniejszego wówczas gatunku fikcji literackiej. Na tle tych uwarunkowań pojawia się niezwykła postać: Feliciano de Silva, autor pięciu romansów rycerskich i jednej kontynuacji słynnej Celestyny. Zubożały szlachcic, dla którego pisarstwo stało się sposobem na życie. Książka ukazuje, w czym przejawiał się profesjonalizm Silvy, jak dopasowywał on swoją twórczość do gustów czytelniczych oraz jak był traktowany przez innych uczestników pola literackiego. Czy ulubiony pisarz Don Kichota był też jednym z pierwszych pisarzy zawodowych?
