Martin Sherman
Playwright and screenwriter Martin Sherman dramatizes outsiders--gay, female, foreign, disabled, different in religion, class or color--skipping over quicksand as they strive to survive. This book analyzes and evaluates Sherman's work, while correcting previously published errors and establishing the flavor of the critical debate. Devoting more attention to such internationally acclaimed works as Bent and Mrs. Henderson Presents, it also considers less well known and even unpublished and unproduced scripts as well as his working relationships with the luminaries of stage and screen who have appeared in, directed, and produced his plays and screenplays.

Recepcja twórczości Samuela Becketta w Polsce to publikacja o doniosłym znaczeniu. Jest pierwszym systematycznym opracowaniem tematu, jakie ukazało się od 1990 roku, i stanowi punkt zwrotny.

Skompilowano w nich także wykaz festiwali i seminariów beckettowskich. W części bibliograficznej czytelnik odnajdzie ponadto nigdy wcześniej niepublikowany, kompletny spis dzieł autora oraz listę ich przekładów na język polski.
The Reception of Byzantium in European Culture since 1500
Studies on the reception of the classical tradition are an indispensable part of classical studies. Understanding the importance of ancient civilization means also studying how it was used subsequently. This kind of approach is still relatively rare in the field of Byzantine Studies. This volume, which is the result of the range of interests in (mostly) non-English-speaking research communities, takes an important step to filling this gap by investigating the place and dimensions of ’Byzantium after Byzantium’. This collection of essays uses the idea of ’reception-theory’ and expands it to show how European societies after Byzantium have responded to both the reality, and the idea of...
