      • Howard J. Erlichman

        The Roman Century: How a Determined People Launched the Greatest Empire in World History should be of interest to anyone who ponders the increasingly intense competition among the United States, China and Russia. The book places the spectacular Roman advance during a single “long” century (323-188 BCE) in a much wider geo-politico-economic context than existing works; explains how the Romans perfected a three-pronged blueprint of imperial conquest which had been devised by Philip II of Macedon; and incorporates timeless observations from the likes of Appian, Arrian, Clausewitz, Diodorus, Livy, Machiavelli, Plutarch, Polybius, Sun Tzu and Thucydides. The book also explains how the Romans generated a host of lessons to be studied by anyone concerned with the processes through which overseas empires are won and lost. The ebook edition is currently available on Amazon Kindle, Apple iTunes, B&N Nook and Rakuten Kobo.

Der Hund, dessen Körper mit bunten Bildern bedeckt ist, trifft im Urwald auf den Löwen. Diese Bilder sind nicht nur Schmuck, sondern jede Tätowierung erzählt eine eigene Geschichte.

Was folgt, ist eine Reihe von wunderbaren und ulkigen Geschichten, die den Löwen und die Leser gleichermaßen in ihren Bann ziehen. Diese Geschichten führen zu einem bunten Reigen von Erzählungen, die die Grenzen der Realität überschreiten und in eine Welt voller Fantasie und Humor entführen.

Dieses Buch ist ein Fest für die Fantasie und zeigt, wie aus einfachen Bildern durch die Kraft der Erzählung lebendige und fesselnde Geschichten entstehen können. Es ist ein Zeugnis von Paul Maars Fähigkeit, junge Leser und Zuhörer auf eine Reise voller Überraschungen und Entdeckungen mitzunehmen. Paul Maars fantastischer Debüt-Roman für Kinder: Ein Meilenstein in der Kinderliteratur, der die Fantasie anregt.

        Reading Robin Hood

        Content, form and reception in the outlaw myth

        by Stephen Knight, Anke Bernau

        Reading Robin Hood explores and explains stories about the mythic outlaw, who from the middle ages to the present stands up for the values of natural law and true justice. This analysis of the whole sequence of the adventures of Robin Hood first explores the medieval tradition from early poems into the long-surviving sung ballads, and also two variant Robins: the Scottish version, here named Rabbie Hood, and gentrified Robin, the exiled Earl of Huntington, now partnered by Lady Marian. The nineteenth century re-imagined medieval Robin as modern - he loved nature, Marian, England, and the rights of the ordinary man - and in novels and especially films he has developed further, into an international figure of freedom, just as Marian's role has grown in a modern feminist context. The vigour of the Robin Hood myth still reproduces itself, constantly with new forms and new meanings. ;

        Medieval film

        by Anke Bernau, Bettina Bildhauer

        Medieval film explores theoretical questions about the ideological, artistic, emotional and financial investments inhering in cinematic renditions of the medieval period. What does it mean to create and watch a 'medieval film'? What is a medieval film and why are they successful? This is the first work that attempts to answer these questions, drawing, for instance, on film theory, postcolonial theory, cultural studies and the growing body of work on medievalism. Contributors investigate British, German, Italian, Australian, French, Swedish and American film, exploring topics such translation, temporality, film noir, framing and period film - and find the medieval lurking in unexpected corners. In addition it provides in-depth studies of individual films from different countries including The Birth of a Nation to Nosferatu, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Medieval film will be of interest to medievalists working in disciplines including literature, history, art history, to scholars working on film and in cultural studies. It will also be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates and to an informed enthusiast in film or/and medieval culture.

        Transporting Chaucer

        by Anke Bernau, Helen Barr

        Drawing on the work of British sculptor Antony Gormley, alongside more traditional literary scholarship, this book argues for new relationships between Chaucer's poetry and works by others. Chaucer's playfulness with textual history and chronology anticipates how his own work is figured in later - and earlier - texts. Responding to this, the book presents innovative readings of the relationships between medieval texts and early modern drama, literary texts and material culture. It re-energises conventional models of source and analogue study to reveal unexpected - and sometimes unsettling - literary cohabitations. At the same time, it exposes how associations between architecture, pilgrim practice, manuscript illustration and the soundscapes of dramatic performance reposition how we read Chaucer's oeuvre and what gets made of it. An invaluable resource for scholars and students of all levels with an interest in medieval English literary studies and early modern drama, Transporting Chaucer offers a new approach to how we encounter texts through time.

        In Strange Countries: Middle English Literature and its Afterlife

        Essays in memory of J. J. Anderson

        by Anke Bernau, David Matthews

        These essays by senior scholars in medieval studies celebrate the career of J.J. Anderson, editor, critic, and co-founder of the Manchester Medieval Literature and Culture series, who taught in medieval studies at the University of Manchester for forty years. The essays are rooted in medieval literature but frequently range beyond the confines of the Middle Ages. They reflect the breadth of Anderson's own scholarly interests, especially in drama and Arthurian literature. There is a particular focus on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl, poems which preoccupied him throughout his scholarly life. There are also new reconsiderations of La?amon's Brut, Mirk's Festial, the Passion plays, and the manuscripts of the Pore Caitif. Moving beyond the traditional purview of medieval literature, several contributors trace the afterlives of medieval themes in later literature. These essays include a consideration of the twinned trajectories of the medieval heroes Robin Hood and King Arthur from medieval literature to modern television, a comparison of La?amon's Brut and Tennyson's Idylls of the King, and a recreation of the Bishop Blase procession which took place in industrial Bradford. Contributors are Rosamund Allen, Ralph Elliott, Alexandra Johnston, Stephen Knight, Peter Meredith, Susan Powell, Gillian Rudd, Alan Shelston, and Kalpen Trivedi. ;

        The myth of the flood in Anglo-Saxon England

        by Anke Bernau, Daniel Anlezark

        Noah's Flood is one of the Bible's most popular stories, and flood myths survive in many cultures today. This book presents the first comprehensive examination of the incorporation of the Flood myth into the Anglo-Saxon imagination. Focusing on literary representations, it contributes to our understanding of how Christian Anglo-Saxons perceived their place in the cosmos. For them, history unfolded between the primeval Deluge and a future - perhaps imminent - flood of fire, which would destroy the world. This study reveals both an imaginative diversity and shared interpretations of the Flood myth. Anglo-Saxons saw the Flood as a climactic event in God's ongoing war with his more rebellious creatures, but they also perceived the mystery of redemption through baptism. Anlezark studies a range of texts against their historical background, and discusses shifting emphases in the way the Flood was interpreted for diverse audiences. The book concludes with a discussion of Beowulf, relating the epic poem's presentation of the Flood myth to that of other Anglo-Saxon texts.

        by Maritgen Matter, Anke Faust, Sylke Hachmeister

        In "Ein Schaf fürs Leben" von Maritgen Matter entfaltet sich die ungewöhnliche Freundschaft zwischen einem hungrigen Wolf und einem arglosen Schaf an einem kalten Wintertag. Ursprünglich vom Wolf als leichte Beute angesehen, überredet er das Schaf zu einer gemeinsamen Schlittenfahrt durch die verschneite Landschaft, mit dem verborgenen Ziel, das Schaf am Ende der Reise zu verspeisen. Doch während ihrer abenteuerlichen Fahrt durch die Winternacht, die sich durch lustige und unerwartete Begebenheiten auszeichnet, entwickelt sich zwischen den beiden eine tiefe Verbindung, die den ursprünglichen Plan des Wolfes in Frage stellt. Die Reise nimmt schließlich eine überraschende Wendung, die das gegenseitige Verständnis und die neu entdeckte Freundschaft zwischen Schaf und Wolf in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Dieses von der Kritik gefeierte Kinderbuch, ausgezeichnet mit dem Deutschen Jugendliteraturpreis 2004, zeichnet sich durch seine aufwändigen Illustrationen in Collagetechnik aus, die die Geschichte für Leser jeden Alters zum Leben erwecken. Maritgen Matters Erzählung über Freundschaft, Vertrauen und die unerwarteten Wendungen des Lebens spricht sowohl Kinder als auch Erwachsene an und macht "Ein Schaf fürs Leben" zu einem unvergesslichen Leseerlebnis.
