Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2022The pastor in print
Genre, audience, and religious change in early modern England
by Amy G. Tan
The pastor in print explores the phenomenon of early modern pastors who chose to become print authors, addressing ways authorship could enhance, limit or change clerical ministry and ways pastor-authors conceived of their work in parish and print. It identifies strategies through which pastor-authors established authorial identities, targeted different sorts of audiences and strategically selected genre and content as intentional parts of their clerical vocation. The first study to provide a book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors writing for print, it uses a case study of prolific pastor-author Richard Bernard to offer a new lens through which to view religious change in this pivotal period. By bringing together questions of print, genre, religio-politics and theology, the book will interest scholars and postgraduate students in history, literature and theological studies, and its readability will appeal to undergraduates and non-specialists.

The ArtsSeptember 2025Counter print
The alternative art press in Britain after 1970
by Victoria Horne
The history of contemporary art is also a history of its newsletters, manifestos, magazines, pamphlets, and journals. Those periodical publications do not simply communicate or record ideas but have worked in exciting ways to shape art's practices, histories and communities. As a new generation of artists, activists and scholars seek to uncover the histories of alternative publishing and artistic networks, this book gathers original archival discoveries while offering methodologies for studying and thinking with those artefacts. As the first essay collection to focus on the periodical art press and the ways we study it, Counter print offers readers an alternative route into the past fifty years of contemporary art, one that is defiantly collaborative, border crossing and disruptive.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2007Design and the modern magazine
by Christopher Breward, Jeremy Aynsley, Kate Forde, Bill Sherman, Martin Hargreaves
Design and the Modern Magazine provides a thematically arranged set of essays that examine the changing character of the magazine as an important aspect of cultural life from the late nineteenth century until today. In doing so it offers some of the first detailed case-studies of individual titles and analyses how design decisions are made alongside editorial, commercial and technical considerations. The book suggests ways to understand the magazine as a designed object. Among the more significant titles considered are Woman's Home Companion, Design, Woman and Vogue. While largely drawing from British and American sources, the book also covers the impact of modern design ideas from Europe on such publications. The essays present new and original scholarship on the subject and will be of use to students and teachers working on a wide range of art and design history, and literature studies courses. ;

The ArtsFebruary 2007European Film Noir
by Andrew Spicer
European Film Noir is the first book to bring together specialist discussions of film noir in specific European national cinemas. Written by leading scholars, this groundbreaking study provides an authoritative understanding of an important aspect of European cinema and of film noir itself, for too long considered as a solely American form. The Introduction reviews the problems of defining film noir, its key characteristics and discusses its significance to the development of European film, the relationship of specific national films noirs to each other, to American noir and to historical and social change. Eight chapters then discuss film noir in France, Germany, Britain and Spain, analysing both earlier developments and the evolution of neo-noir through to the present. A further chapter explores film noir in Italian cinema where its presence is not so well defined. Each piece provides a critical overview of the most significant films in relation to their industrial and social contexts. European Film Noir is an important contribution to the study of European cinema that will have a broad appeal to undergraduates, cinéastes, film teachers and researchers. ;

The ArtsFebruary 2007Mathieu Kassovitz
by Will Higbee, Diana Holmes, Robert Ingram
Mathieu Kassovitz is arguably the most important filmmaker to have emerged from French cinema in the past two decades. As a director, his work often engages with highly controversial socio-political issues whilst still managing to attract and connect with a popular audience - and, above all, with a youth audience. He is also one of the few contemporary French filmmakers who is capable of productively engaging with Hollywood, in terms of cinematic style, narrative and genre, yet still retaining his own identity as a French filmmaker. In addition to his directorial successes, Kassovitz has also achieved considerable critical and commercial success in France as a screen actor. His films - whether directed by or acted in, or both - show an astonishing variety, from his early Métisse (1993), his break-through, La Haine (1995) through to Jeunet's Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain (2000), Astérix et Obélix: Mission Cléopatre (2002) and Gothika (2003). Will Higbee's study is the first to explore of one of the most fascinating characters in French cinema. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2007Public issue television
World in Action' 1963–98
by Peter Goddard, John Corner, Kay Richardson
Public issue television is a major contribution to understanding the relationship between television, politics and society. Based on full access to the archives, it offers a fascinating historical account of how one television series, Granada's World in Action, celebrated for its tough journalism, visual directness and public impact, functioned and developed over its run across 35 years between 1963 and 1998. In a succession of chapters looking at different periods in the series' development and at key dimensions of its distinctive identity, it gets deep inside the making of factual television and examines how a particular culture of production works within broader conditions of possibility and constraint. In particular, it charts the interwoven processes of change - technological, professional, aesthetic, institutional, economic, social and political. As well as discussing achievement and success, it examines the tensions, the debates and open conflicts that formed part of the context within which the series was made and transmitted across four decades. ;

November 2008Prosa und Stücke
by Ödön Horváth, Kurt Bartsch, Peter Turrini
1938 in Paris, während eines heftigen Gewitterregens, wird Ödön von Horváth von einem Ast erschlagen. In seinem Nachruf schreibt Joseph Roth: »Ödön von Horváth, einer der besten österreichischen Schriftsteller, deutschsprachiger Ungar von Geburt, ist vorgestern in Paris das Opfer eines jener Unfälle geworden, die wir als ›sinnlos‹ zu bezeichnen pflegen, weil uns das Unerklärliche sinnlos erscheint.« Horváth hielt sich in Paris auf, um mit einem amerikanischen Filmproduzenten über die Verfilmung seines Romanerfolgs Jugend ohne Gott zu verhandeln, zuvor hatte er sich mit Stücken wie Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald oder Kasimir und Karoline den Ruf des wichtigsten Dramatikers seiner Generation erschrieben. Die Wertschätzung in der Kritik und bei Kollegen hielt über seinen frühen Tod hinaus an: So schätzt Peter Handke an seinen Texten die »verwirrten Sätze seiner Personen, die Modelle der Bösartigkeit, der Hilflosigkeit, der Verwirrung in einer bestimmten Gesellschaft«. Die Suhrkamp Quarto-Ausgabe versammelt sämtliche Theaterstücke Ödön von Horváths und seine bekanntesten Romane wie Der ewige Spießer, Jugend ohne Gott oder Ein Kind unserer Zeit. Peter Turrini schreibt eine »Liebeserklärung« an den Dichter, Kurt Bartsch ein umfangreiches Nachwort zu Leben und Werk. Inhalt: Mord in der Mohrengasse. Die Bergbahn. Zur schönen Aussicht. Rund um den Kongreß. Kasimir und Karoline. Geschichten aus dem Wiener Wald. Sladek, der schwarze Reichswehrmann. Eine Unbekannte aus der Seine. Hin und her. Himmelwärts. Das unbekannte Leben. Mit dem Kopf durch die Wand. Figaro läßt sich scheiden. Don Juan kommt aus dem Krieg. Der jüngste Tag. Ein Dorf ohne Männerl. Pompeji. Sportmärchen. Glaube Liebe Hoffnung. Italienische Nacht.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2026The love of books
Attachment to a changing cultural object
by María Angélica Thumala Olave
The Love of Books examines the affective bond between people and books in the UK. In the context of the unprecedented abundance of media offering information, storytelling and entertainment, it investigates the attachment to print and digital books amongst readers from a range of backgrounds who read for pleasure, wish to be surrounded by print copies of books, and have trouble discarding books. Unlike existing research, which focuses on prestige, social status, and cultural capital, this study centres on meaning, materiality and emotion. Drawing on interviews and archive material, it shows how attachment emerges from the practical fusion of three elements that have so far been examined separately: the material, surface properties of books, the act of reading, and books' symbolic power.

The ArtsJune 2026Confessions of monuments
Commemorating and representing the Turkish nation-state in the early twentieth century
by Emin Artun Ozguner
Following the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire in the early 1920s, an emerging nation state built a particular relationship with the Ottoman past. In its simultaneous disavowal and inheritance of it, this was the new Republic of Turkey, founded in 1923. Nation-states are areas of ideological contestation. However, they are equally visible and tangible. This is thanks to the making of a new world of artefacts in build or print that represent and commemorate them in many, often contradicting ways through design practices. This book offers a thorough account of this new Turkish material world through the trajectories of commemoration; from public monuments, print media, and festive illumination to temporary and permanent architecture from the onset of the 1908 Young Turk revolution to the demise of Turkey's founding single-party regime in the late 1950s. If objects are silent actors of history, their confessions await.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2022Bulletin of the John Rylands Library 98/1
The Artist of the Future Age: William Blake, Neo-Romanticism, Counterculture and Now
by Douglas Field
This special issue of the Bulletin of the John Rylands Library is devoted to William Blake. It explores the British and European reception of Blake's work from the late nineteenth century to the present day, with a particular focus on the counterculture. Opening with two articles by the late Michael Horovitz, an important figure in the 'Blake Renaissance' of the 1960s, the issue goes on to investigate the ideological struggle over Blake in the early part of the twentieth century, with particular reference to W. B. Yeats. This is followed by articles on the artistic avant-garde and underground of the 1960s and on Blake's significance for science fiction authors of the 1970s. The issue closes with an article on the contemporary Belgian art collective maelstrÖm reEvolution.
