Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2013Literary and visual Ralegh
by J. B. Lethbridge
This collection of essays by scholars from Great Britain, the United States, Canada and Taiwan covers a wide range of topics about Ralegh's diversified career and achievements. Some of the essays shed light on less familiar facets such as Ralegh as a father and as he is represented in paintings, statues, and in movies; others re-examine him as poet, historian, as a controversial figure in Ireland during Elizabeth's reign, and look at his complex relationship with and patronage of Edmund Spenser. A recurrent topic is the Hatfield Manuscript in Ralegh's handwriting, which contains his long, unfinished poem 'The Ocean to Cynthia', usually considered a lament about his rejection by Queen Elizabeth after she learned of his secret marriage to one of her ladies-in-waiting. The book is appropriate for students of Elizabethan-Jacobean history and literature. Among the contributors are well-known scholars of Ralegh and his era, including James Nohrenberg, Anna Beer, Thomas Herron, Alden Vaughan and Andrew Hiscock. ;

The ArtsJanuary 2019Carol Reed
by Peter William Evans
Carol Reed is one of the truly outstanding directors of British cinema, and one whose work is long overdue for reconsideration. This major study ranges over Reed's entire career, combining observation of general trends and patterns with detailed analysis of twenty films, both acknowledged masterpieces and lesser-known works. Evans avoids a simplistic auteurist approach, placing the films in their autobiographical, socio-political and cultural contexts and relating these to the analysis of Reed's art. The critical approach combines psychoanalysis, gender theory, and the analysis of form. Archival research is also relied on to clarify Reed's relations with his creative team, financial backers and others. Films examined include Bank Holiday, A Girl Must Live, Odd Man Out, The Fallen Idol, The Third Man, Night Train to Munich, The Way Ahead, Outcast of the Islands, Trapeze and Oliver!.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2023Rethinking Norman Italy
Studies in honour of Graham A. Loud
by Joanna Drell, Paul Oldfield
This volume on Norman Italy (southern Italy and Sicily, c. 1000-1200) honours and reflects the pioneering scholarship of Graham A. Loud. An international group of scholars reassesses and recasts the paradigm by which Norman Italy has been conventionally understood, addressing varied subjects across four key themes: historiographies, identities and communities, religion and Church, and conquest. The chapters revise and refine our understanding of Norman Italy in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, demonstrating that it was not just a parochial Norman or Mediterranean entity but also an integral player in the medieval mainstream.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2020English nationalism, Brexit and the Anglosphere
Wider still and wider
by Ben Wellings
This is the first book to examine the relationship between English nationalism, Brexit and 'the Anglosphere' - a politically-contested term used to denote English-speaking countries sharing cultural and historical roots with the UK. In the aftermath of the UK's EU referendum some pointed to a 'revolt' of those 'left behind' by globalisation. Ben Wellings argues instead that Brexit was and is an elite project, firmly situated within the tradition of an expansive English nationalism. Far from being parochial 'Little Englanders', elite Brexiteers sought to replace the European Union with trade and security alliances between 'true friends' and 'traditional allies' in the Anglosphere. Brexit was thus reassuringly presented as a giant leap into the known. As the UK's future relationship with the rest of the world is negotiated, the need to understand this 'English moment' has never been more pressing.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2024Thomas Nashe and literary performance
by Chloe Kathleen Preedy, Rachel Willie
As an instigator of debate and a defender of tradition, a man of letters and a popular hack, a writer of erotica and a spokesman for bishops, an urbane metropolitan and a celebrant of local custom, the various textual performances of Thomas Nashe have elicited, and continue to provoke, a range of contradictory reactions. Nashe's often incongruous authorial characteristics suggest that, as a 'King of Pages', he not only courted controversy but also deliberately cultivated a variety of public personae, acquiring a reputation more slippery than the herrings he celebrated in print. Collectively, the essays in this book illustrate how Nashe excelled at textual performance but his personae became a contested site as readers actively participated and engaged in the reception of Nashe's public image and his works.

Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2020The early Spenser, 1554–80
'Minde on honour fixed'
by Jean R. Brink, Joshua Samuel Reid
Brink's provocative biography shows that Spenser was not the would-be court poet whom Karl Marx's described as 'Elizabeth's arse-kissing poet'. In this readable and informative account, Spenser is depicted as the protégé of a circle of London clergymen, who expected him to take holy orders. Brink shows that the young Spenser was known to Alexander Nowell, author of Nowell's Catechism and Dean of St. Paul's. Significantly revising the received biography, Brink argues that that it was Harvey alone who orchestrated Familiar Letters (1580). He used this correspondence to further his career and invented the portrait of Spenser as his admiring disciple. Contextualising Spenser's life by comparisons with Shakespeare and Sir Walter Ralegh, Brink shows that Spenser shared with Sir Philip Sidney an allegiance to the early modern chivalric code. His departure for Ireland was a high point, not an exile.

July 1989Auf der Suche nach einer jüdischen Theologie
Briefwechsel
by Schalom Ben-Chorin, Hans-Joachim Schoeps, Julius H. Schoeps, Julius H. Schoeps
Der Briefwechsel zwischen dem Schriftsteller Schalom Ben-Chorin und dem Religionshistoriker Hans-Joachim Schoeps, der sich über vier Jahrzehnte (1934-1979) hinzieht, kreist im wesentlichen um ein Thema: Jüdische Theologie. In politischen Fragen Antipoden - empfand Schoeps seine preußische Herkunft als Schicksal, das seine Existenz unwandelbar formte, bekannte sich Schalom Ben-Chorin frühzeitig zum Zionismus und zog daraus seine Konsequenzen -, verband beide die Erkenntnis der Notwendigkeit jüdischer Theologie in unserer Zeit. Schoeps, Franz Rosenzweig folgend, ging von der Bejahung der Galuth (Diaspora) aus, während Ben-Chorin die Verwirklichung des Judentums primär in Israel sah und noch heute sieht. Beiden ging es um die Aufzeigung der Demarkationslinien des jüdischen Glaubens, von dem sie meinten, daß er aus der Bewußtseinslage des heutigen Menschen, in Konfrontation mit dem Komplex der Überlieferung, gewonnen werden sollte.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2023Presence
The strange science and true stories of the unseen other
by Ben Alderson-Day
In this enthralling book, Ben Alderson-Day explores one of the most curious experiences known to humankind: the universal, disturbing sense that someone or something is there when we are alone - the feeling of an unseen presence. When and why do presences emerge? What does this feeling mean and where does it come from? And how can we even begin to understand a phenomenon that can be transformative for those who experience it and yet so hard to put into words? The answers to these questions lie in this fascinating exploration through cutting-edge research in contemporary psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience and philosophy. Taking the reader on a riveting and emotional journey, Presence offers remarkable insights into the experience of felt presence and how it relates to a range of medical conditions, including sleep paralysis, dementia and Parkinson's. This compelling story will stoke the fascination of sceptics and ardent believers alike who are drawn to the mystery of the unseen.

October 2009Die Logik der Gefühle
Kritik der emotionalen Intelligenz
by Aaron Ben Ze'ev, Friedrich Griese
Warum weinen wir im Kino? Wie geht man am besten mit zerstörerischen Gefühlen wie Eifersucht um? Obwohl Gefühle unser ganzes Leben durchziehen, wurden ihre Natur, ihre Ursachen und ihre Wirkung erst in letzter Zeit von Sozialwissenschaftlern und Philosophen untersucht. Doch trotz des steigenden wissenschaftlichen Interesses an diesem Thema reichen die empirischen Ergebnisse immer noch nicht an unser intuitives Wissen heran. Im ersten Teil betrachtet Ben Ze'ev die typischen Charakteristika und Bestandteile der Emotionen, die Unterschiede zwischen Gefühlen und anderen affektiven Formen, er behandelt zentrale Themen wie emotionale Intelligenz, geregelte Emotionen, Emotion und Moralität. Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit einzelnen Gefühlen: Neid, Eifersucht, Schadenfreude, Mitgefühl, Mitleid, Ärger, Haß, Abscheu, Liebe, Lust, sexuelles Begehren, Glück, Traurigkeit, Stolz, Bedauern und Scham.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 1999The debate on the Norman Conquest
by Marjorie Chibnall, Roger Richardson
The debate on the Norman Conquest is still ongoing. Because of the great interest that has always been shown in the subject of conquest and its aftermath, interpretations have been numerous and conflicting; students bewildered by controversies may find this book a useful guide through the morass of literature. In the medieval period writers were still deeply involved in the legal and linguistic consequences of the Norman victory. Later the issues became direcly relevant to debates about constitutional rights; the theory of a "Norman yoke" provided first a call for revolution and, by the 19th century, a romantic vision of a lost Saxon paradise. When history became a subject for academic study controversies still raged round such subjects as Saxon versus Norman institutions. These have gradually been replaced in a broader social setting where there is more room for consensus. Interest has now moved to such subjects as peoples and races, frontier societies, women's studies and colonialism. Changing perspectives have shown the advantage of studying a period from the late 10th to the early 13th century rather than one beginning in 1066. ;

October 2006Walter Benjamins Archive
Bilder, Texte und Zeichen
by Erdmut Wizisla, Erdmut Wizisla, Walter Benjamin Archiv, Michael Schwarz, Ursula Marx, Gudrun Schwarz
Von einer Sensation ist zu berichten: Das Walter Benjamin Archiv zeigt eine Fülle von großartigen, in weiten Teilen bisher unpublizierten und auch unbekannten Bildern und Dokumenten. Anläßlich einer Ausstellung in der Akademie der Künste, Berlin, wird, begleitet von einer internationalen Tagung und einer Vielzahl von Veranstaltungen, zum ersten Mal Benjamins Bildund Dingkosmos der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt. Solche Orientierung an Bildern und Dokumenten, an der Materialität der Gegenstände entspricht auch seinem Werk, das seinerseits ein Reservoir von Texten, Kommentaren, Elementen des Alltags, der Kunst und des Traums ist. Viele dieser Elemente sind als Bausteine in sein 'Passagen'-Projekt eingegangen, das die 'Urgeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts ' erkundet. Darüber hinaus prägen Techniken des Sammelns und Archivierens die Arbeitsweise Walter Benjamins. Nachdem er aus Deutschland vertrieben worden war, schuf er die Voraussetzungen zur Rettung seiner, wie er sagte, 'unendlich verzettelten Produktion ', indem er Manuskripte, Notizen und Druckbelege bei Freunden in aller Welt deponierte Der reichillustrierte und kommentierte Band schließt erstmals Benjamins Archive auf: Notizhefte, in denen jeder Zentimeter genutzt wird; Register, Verzeichnisse und Karteien, die zugleich akribisch und kreativ geführt sind; Ansichtskarten, von ihm selbst kommentierte Fotoserien; eine Sammlung früher Worte und Sätze seines Sohnes Stefan, dessen Sprach- und Denkentwicklung Benjamin in Aufzeichnungen über Jahre verfolgte.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024Shakespeare's borrowed feathers
How early modern playwrights shaped the world's greatest writer
by Darren Freebury-Jones
A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare's beloved plays. Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

March 2022Like Lovers Do (Memoiren der Medusa)
audio reading included
by Sivan Ben Yishai, Maren Kames
Medusa wird im Mythos vom Gott der Meere vergewaltigt, woraufhin sie sich in eine geflügelte Gestalt mit Schlangenhaaren verwandelt, deren Anblick jeden zu Stein erstarren lässt. Medusas gewaltvolle, kaleidoskopisch angelegten Memoiren sind bei Sivan Ben Yishai eine Widmung an alle Liebenden, die Momente unserer kollektiven Erinnerung auflistet: zwischen Begehren und Gewalt, zwischen Porno und sexuellen Fantasien, zwischen politischen Attacken und familiär eingeübtem Wegschauen. In einem nur scheinbaren Gegenszenario imaginieren fünf junge Mädchen gemeinsam den Traummann ihrer Zukunft, sich selbst unwillkürlich als perfektes Attribut an seiner Seite. Auf einer dritten Erzählspur entwirft die Autorin eine buchstäbliche Umkehrdynamik der tradierten Erzählmuster: Eine Frau greift zum Messer, verlässt den Tatort Ehebett, kapert einen vollbesetzten Bus und legt den Rückwärtsgang ein, um die Jahrhundert-Story-Lines und all das zerschundene menschliche Liebesfleisch einzusammeln und zu dekompostieren. Könnte es nicht zum Humus werden für eine Öko-Sphäre der feministischen Narrative? »Es war eine halbe Vergewaltigung / Nicht wirklich eine Vergewaltigung /Sie sagte härter /Sie sagte schneller /Während sie vergewaltigt wurde /Dann ging sie nach Hause und saß die ganze Nacht am Handy und sucht auf Tinder ein Date für morgen«
