A powerful history of the forgotten lives of black Georgian Britain
Gretchen Gerzina Knihy
Táto autorka sa zameriava na životopisy a literárnu históriu, pričom jej práca sa často ponára do hlbín života a diela slávnych spisovateľov. Skúma, ako osobné skúsenosti formujú tvorivý proces a ako umenie odráža spoločenské a kultúrne prúdy svojej doby. Jej prístup je analytický a prenikavý, snaží sa odhaliť menej známe aspekty života svojich subjektov a ich trvalý vplyv na literárny svet. Jej písanie je starostlivo preskúmané a pútavo podané.
This is an examination of the lives of black people in Victorian England. Contributors to the book look at the ways blacks were represented in popular culture of the time and also at their lives as they experienced them - as workers, travellers, lecturers, performers and professionals. schovat popis
