Postać Żyda w literaturze polskiej lat 1822-1864
Distinguishes two main types of representation of the Jew in Polish prose and poetry. The first is a romantic figure, modeled on images from the Hebrew Bible - a fighter for the independence of his suppressed nation, such as Moses or the Maccabees. The second presents the Jew in a stereotypical negative light, as a usurer or banker (sometimes a convert to Christianity) or as a participant in an international plot. During the period covered, a Jew is only rarely the hero of the novel, poem, or play. Notes antisemitic accents in Zygmunt Krasiński's "Non-Divine Comedy". Relates to connections between literature and politics, e.g. the positive image of the Jew in the period of the January insurrection (1861-63), when the Jews were perceived as allies in the struggle against the occupiers of Poland. Pp. 193-280 present an anthology of Polish poetry from the period studied.
Caviar and Ashes
""In the elegant capital city of Warsaw, the editor Mieczyslaw Grydzewski would come with his two dachshunds to a cafe called Ziemianska."" Thus begins the history of a generation of Polish literati born at the ""fin de siecle,"" They sat in Cafe Ziemianska and believed that the world moved on what they said there. ""Caviar and Ashes"" tells the story of the young avant-gardists of the early 1920s who became the radical Marxists of the late 1920s. They made the choice for Marxism before Stalinism, before socialist realism, before Marxism meant the imposition of Soviet communism in Poland. It ended tragically. Marci Shore begins with this generation's coming of age after the First World War and narrates a half-century-long journey through futurist manifestos and proletarian poetry, Stalinist terror and Nazi genocide, a journey from the literary cafes to the cells of prisons and the corridors of power. Using newly available archival materials from Poland and Russia, as well as from Ukraine and Israel, Shore explores what it meant to live Marxism as a European, an East European, and a Jewish intellectual in the twentieth century.
Essays on Byron in Honour of Dr Peter Cochran
Byron wrote that he was “born for opposition”. This collection of essays takes Byron at his word and explores ways in which he challenged received opinion in his lifetime. The essays also challenge commonplace attitudes in criticism of Byron today. In this, the volume honours the remarkable range of work of the late Dr Peter Cochran. The matters covered here are Byron’s poetics, his ideology, and the principles and practice of editing his texts. Jerome J. McGann opens the poetics section by examining lyric writing in a Byronic perspective. In the lead essay on ideology, Bernard Beatty asks whether we should rethink Byron as a whole. A substantial addition to Byron’s correspondence is made by Andrew Stauffer beginning the editing section. In all, this book gathers original contributions from sixteen international scholars and friends of Peter Cochran. The accessible, engaging style makes their work suitable for all readers of Byron, as well as undergraduates and professional academics.
