Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2020Death and the crown
Ritual and politics in France before the Revolution
by Anne Byrne
Looking at royal ritual in pre-revolutionary France, Death and the crown examines the deathbed and funeral of Louis XV in 1774, the lit de justice of November 1774, and the coronation of Louis XVI, including the ceremony of the royal healing touch for scrofula. It reviews the state of the field in ritual studies and appraises the status of the monarchy in the 1770s, including the recall of the parlements and the many ways people engaged with royal ritual. It answers questions such as whether Louis XV died in fear of damnation, why Marie Antoinette was not crowned in 1775 and why Louis XVI's coronation was not held in Paris. This lively, accessible text is a useful tool for under- and post-graduate teaching which will also be of interest to specialists on this under-researched period.

April 2011Die Geheimnisse des schwarzen Turms
Ein Roman aus dem Paris des Jahres 1818
by Louis Bayard
»Vidocq!« Der Name bringt die Pariser Unterwelt des Jahres 1818 zum Erzittern. Denn der Chef der Geheimpolizei hat die berüchtigsten Verbrecher des Landes hinter Schloß und Riegel gebracht. Nun ist er einem Fall auf der Spur, bei dem das Schicksal ganz Frankreichs auf dem Spiel steht. Paris 1818: Die Rufe nach Revolution sind längst verklungen, Napoleon endgültig vertrieben und die Bourbonen wieder an der Macht. Doch die neue, noch fragile Ordnung wird bedroht: Louis-Charles, Sohn Marie Antoinettes und Ludwigs XVI., scheint wieder unter den Lebenden zu weilen. Dabei gilt der einstige Kronprinz, der die letzten Monate seines jungen Lebens in einem schwarzen Turm gefangengehalten wurde, schon seit Jahren als tot. François Vidocq, Chef der Geheimpolizei und Schrecken der Pariser Unterwelt, folgt den Gerüchten durch die dunklen Gassen des Quartier Latin und die verwahrlosten Salons des alten Adels. Dabei trifft er auf den verwirrten Charles Rappskeller. Und tatsächlich spricht einiges dafür, daß der junge Mann der verschollene Königssohn ist. Während Vidocq versucht herauszufinden, was damals im schwarzen Turm wirklich geschehen ist, setzt ein gewisser »Monsieur« alles daran, Charles Rappskeller wieder verschwinden zu lassen.

David, Donne and Thirsty Deer
Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott
by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram
For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David and Bathsheba
By George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington
David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.

January 2008Zwischen Fakten und Fiktionen
Heidelberger Poetikvorlesungen
by Louis Begley, Christa Krüger
Fact or fiction? Das ist, wie so oft, die Frage. Und sie war das Thema der Heidelberger Poetik-Dozentur, die Louis Begley 2006 innehatte. Daß sein erster Roman Lügen in Zeiten des Krieges, mit dem er auf Anhieb einem internationalen Publikum bekannt wurde, ein autobiographischer Roman sei (und sein jüngster Roman, Ehrensachen, seine Fortsetzung), würde der Autor so nicht stehenlassen. Wohl aber: daß er keinen seiner Romane je hätte schreiben können, ohne sich seiner eigenen Erfahrungen zu bedienen. Seine Überlegungen illustriert Begley anhand einer bisher unveröffentlichten Kurzgeschichte.
