        Adaptation revisited

        Television and the classic novel

        by Sarah Cardwell

        Offers a critical reappraisal of a prolific and popular genre, as well as bringing new material into the broader field of Television Studies. Surveys the traditional discourses about adaptation, unearthing the unspoken assumptions and common misconceptions that underlie them and explores the problems inherent in previous approaches, developing an original perspective that considers the particularly televisual nature of this genre. Examines four major British serials: 'Brideshead Revisited', 'Pride and Prejudice', 'Moll Flanders', and 'The Tenant of Wildfell Hall' revealing the genre's importance in constituting and moderating our understanding of the past and of television itself. The first sustained and coherent book on the subject in almost a decade.

        Claude Simon

        Adventures in Words

        by Alastair B. Duncan

        Introducing novels by the Nobel Prize for Literature author, Claude Simon, this text gives emphasis to peaks in his literary achievement: "The Flanders Road" (1960), "The Georgics" (1981) and "The Acacia" (1989). Alastair Duncan traces the development and recurrence of major themes, such as war, time and memory, and the constantly renewed inventiveness of Simon's manner. Duncan illustrates and comments on the various critical approaches which have been made to the novels over the years, from phenomenological interpretations, through structuralism to the autobiographical and psychobiographical approaches of the 1980s and 1990s. The text includes a chapter on Simon's most recent works ("Le Jardin des Plantes" 1997 and "Le Tramway" 2001).

        Let's Talk About Feelings

        by Randt, Leif

        Ein optimistisches Buch über traurige Abschiede: Leif Randt erfindet das Coming-of-Middleage. Marian Flanders, 41, verkauft in seiner Westberliner Boutique die vielleicht schönste Kleidung der Welt, aber finanziell erfolgreich ist der Kenting-Beach-Store nur selten. Als seine Mutter Carolina — ein einst ikonisches Fotomodell — nach langer Krankheit verstirbt, richtet Marian eine alternative Trauerfeier für ausgewählte Gäste aus. Auf dem ehemaligen Partyboot seines Vaters hält er eine entwaffnende Rede, co-formuliert von seinem besten Freund, und streut die Asche seiner Mutter auf den Wannsee. Marian glaubt, dass mit diesem Ereignis die freudlosere Hälfte des Lebens beginnt. Doch es folgt ein Jahr der Verwandlung. Erfolgreiche Halbgeschwister und ambivalente Flirts führen Marian u.a. an den Plaza Konami, nach Sapporo, Neu-Delhi und Wolfsburg. Aus falscher Freundlichkeit wird warmherziger Trotz, aus unterkühlter Traurigkeit erwächst stille Euphorie — Let’s talk about feelings.

        Popular protest in late-medieval Europe

        Italy, France and Flanders

        by Samuel Kline Cohn

        The documents in this stimulating volume span from 1245 to 1424 but focus on the 'contagion of rebellion' from 1355 to 1382 that followed in the wake of the plague. They comprise a diversity of sources and cover a variety of forms of popular protest in different social, political and economic settings. Their authors range across a wide political and intellectual horizon and include revolutionaries, the artistocracy, merchants and representatives from the church. They tell gripping and often gruesome stories of personal and collective violence, anguish, anger, terror, bravery, and foolishness. Of over 200 documents presented here, most have been translated into English for the first time, providing students and scholars with a new opportunity to compare social movements across Europe over two centuries, allowing a re-evaluation of pre-industrial revolts, the Black Death and its consequences for political culture and action. This book will be essential reading for those seeking to better understand popular attitudes and protest in medieval Europe.
