Some Renaissance/ Early Modern Topoi in the Twenty First Century
Krystyna Kujawińska Courtney, Grzegorz Zinkiewicz
This collection of essays is in part the result of an international research project “Revisiting the Renaissance: Poland and the Low Countries in Early Modern Europe – The Culture of Self-Deception”, which was carried out by the British and Commonwealth Department of the University of Lodz in Poland and the Vakgroep Nederlandse Literatur en Alegemene Literatuuretenschap of the University of Ghent in Belgium (2009–2012). The goal of this project was to validate the ongoing debate on the Renaissance by looking at its significance in European civilization through the prism of marginalized cultures. As the essays presented in this volume demonstrate, the scope of our interest has grown over time so that issues such as literature, religion, diplomacy, politics, and arts are seen not only from Polish and Netherland perspectives. This book is a unique publication on the sixteenth-seventeenth European culture, politics and societal studies. Although the book is primarily addressed to scholars and academics who study the Renaissance / Early Modern episteme, it can also attract the attention of many other circles of readers interested in an interdisciplinary discourse devoted to e.g. governance, theology, religion, politics, diplomacy and literature. Since the essays focus on facts, processes, texts and state formations, which do not generally belong to the general discourse, they pose a challenge to the conventional perception of the period under discussion.

Sinclair Lewis
“Speed” is a book by Sinclair Lewis an American writer. In 1930, he became the first writer from the United States to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. “Speed” is a short story by Sinclair Lewis. “Out in the road were two new automobile tires, and cans of gasoline, oil, water. The hose of a pressure air-pump stretched across the cement sidewalk, and beside it was an air-gauge in a new chamois case. Across the street a restaurant was glaring with unshaded electric lights; and a fluffy-haired, pert-nose girl alternately ran to the window and returned to look after the food she was keeping warm. The president of the local motor club, who was also owner of the chief garage, kept stuttering to a young man in brown union overalls, “Now be all ready — for land’s sake, be ready. Remember, gotta change those casings in three minutes.” They were awaiting a romantic event — the smashing of the cross-continent road-record by a Mallard car driven by J. T. Buffum.” Preview.
Srebrne zwierciadło. The Silver Mirror
Arthur Conan Doyle
Książka w dwóch wersjach językowych: polskiej i angielskiej. A dual Polish-English language edition. Opowiadanie zaczyna się mrocznie i tajemniczo: W pokoju moim znajduje się stare, w srebro oprawne zwierciadło. Otrzymałem je w podarku od przyjaciela, zamiłowanego w starożytnościach, on zaś o ile wiem, nabył je na licytacji. Jest to zwierciadło dość duże, mierzy bowiem trzy stopy długości, a dwie szerokości, wisi zaś nad stolikiem, opartym o ścianę, na lewo ode mnie, gdy to piszę. Płaska rama jego, licząca trzy cale szerokości, musi być również bardzo stara, nie posiada bowiem znaków probierczych, które by pozwoliły wiek jej określić. Szkło zwierciadła, rżnięte, wystaje nieco krawędziami poza ramę i odznacza się mocą osobliwą odbijania przedmiotów, mocą, zdaniem moim, posiadaną tylko przez zwierciadła bardzo stare. Spoglądając w nie, ma się wrażenie perspektywy, jakiego żadne zwierciadło nowoczesne nie jest dać w stanie. Zwierciadło znajduje się w takim położeniu, że siedząc przy stole, widzę w nim tylko odbicie firanek czerwonych, wiszących przy oknie. Dziwna jednak rzecz zdarzyła się nocy ubiegłej... I dalej autor snuje fascynująca opowieść o tym, że jest to magiczne lustro, które pozwoliło mu spojrzeć w przeszłość. Wraz z nim był świadkiem wydarzeń, które miały miejsce w życiu Maryi, Królowej Szkotów... A było to życie tragiczne... Zachęcamy do lektury!
