        Geträumtes Glück. Angelica Kauffmann und Goethe

        by Ursula Naumann

        Über die Beziehung von Angelica Kauffmann und Johann Wolfgang Goethe wissen wir bis heute wenig. Was war zwischen dem Dichter und der berühmten Malerin? Detektivisch nähert sich Ursula Naumann der Wahrheit von Kauffmanns Leben und Goethes Zeit in Rom. Denn dessen Darstellung in der Italienischen Reise ist nicht unbedingt zu trauen. Im November 1786 besucht Goethe Angelica Kauffmann zum ersten Mal in ihrem luxuriös eingerichteten Stadthaus in der Via Sistina in Rom. Sie ist 45 Jahre alt, die bekannteste Malerin ihrer Zeit, verheiratet mit einem sehr viel älteren Mann. Goethe, der Hofmann, ist nach Italien gekommen, um seine Wiedergeburt als Künstler zu inszenieren. Gemeinsam besuchen sie Museen und Galerien, betrachten erotische Darstellungen, die von Liebe, Leidenschaft und Verrat erzählen. Das empfindsame Porträt, das sie von ihm malt, mißfällt ihm; er sieht sich lieber, wie Tischbein ihn gemalt hat, posierend in der Campagna. Er liest ihr aus Iphigenie und aus Egmont vor, die sie illustriert. Sie faßt Vertrauen zu ihm und gibt zu erkennen, daß sie gern aus ihrem Arbeitsalltag ausbrechen, ein anderes Leben führen würde. Nachdem er abgereist ist, schreibt sie ihm: Sie, die Verschlossene, gibt ihre Verzweiflung über seine Abreise preis. Und Goethe? Sicher ist, daß er über seine Beziehung zu ihr sehr viel weniger gesagt hat, als er hätte sagen können. Doch es bleibt bei Briefen, zum Wiedersehen kommt es nicht. »Welch ein Sommer hätte sein können, wenn einer gewesen wäre.«

        Players' work time

        A history of the British Musicians' Union, 1893–2013

        by Martin Cloonan, John Callan Williamson

        This book examines the working lives of musicians over the past 120 years via the history of the Musicians' Union. The union has been at the centre of all major agreements covering the employment of musicians across the UK's music industries for this period and its role to date has largely been ignored by historians of the music profession, the music industries and trade unions. This book remedies that oversight, providing fresh insight to musicians' working lives, the industries in which they work and wider British social life. It explores a history of confrontation, coercion and compromise played out across the nation's studios, performance spaces and airwaves.

        Amy Tan

        by Bella Adams, John Thieme

        This is the most comprehensive study to date of Amy Tan's work. It offers close readings of her texts in the context of broader debates about the representation of identity, history and reality. In contrast with Tan's own American-born narrators, and mainstream critics, Bella Adams's study looks beyond the stereotypes which appear in Tan's books, and explores the ways in which Chinese immigrants and their American relatives struggle to understand each others 'best qualities' via the Chinese tradition of the 'talk story'. She emphasises Tan's American narrators' process of becoming Chinese and discovering 'real China', and the significance of the ironic staging of these moments. Students will find this study both accessible and probing, and scholars will welcome its contribution to our understanding of a significant figure in contemporary literature. ;

        Royalists and Royalism during the Interregnum

        by Jason McElligott, Peter Lake, David L. Smith, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda

        What was it like to live under the English Republic and, later, Cromwell's Protectorate, if one supported the defeated Stuarts and yearned for the day when Charles II would once again set foot in England? This book tells the story of the traumatic decade of the 1650s (or, 'the Interregnum', from the Latin meaning 'between the reign of the kings') from the vantage point of those who lost the Civil Wars. It describes how these men and women negotiated the difficult choices they faced: to compromise, collaborate, or resist. It brings together essays by established and emerging historians and literary scholars in Britain, Europe, the United States and Australia. The essays sketch the difficulties, complexities, and nuances of the Royalist experience during the Commonwealth and Protectorate, looking at women, religion, print-culture, literature, the politics of exile, and the nature and extent of royalist networks in England. ;
