        Charles Dickens and Georgina Hogarth

        A curious and enduring relationship

        by Christine Skelton

        Charles Dickens called his sister-in-law Georgina Hogarth his 'best and truest friend'. Georgina saw Dickens as much more than a friend. They lived together for twenty-eight years, during which time their relationship constantly changed. The sister of his wife Catherine, the sharp and witty Georgina moved into the Dickens home aged fifteen. What began as a father-daughter relationship blossomed into a genuine rapport, but their easy relations were fractured when Dickens had a mid-life crisis and determined to rid himself of Catherine. Georgina's refusal to leave Dickens and his desire for her to remain in his household led to rumours of an affair and even illegitimate children. He left her the equivalent of almost £1 million and all his personal papers in his will. Georgina's commitment to Dickens was unwavering but it is far from clear what he did to deserve such loyalty. There were several occasions when he misused her in order to protect his public reputation. Why did Georgina betray her once much-loved sister? Why did she fall out with her family and risk her reputation in order to stay with Dickens? And why did the Dickenses' daughter Katey say it was 'the greatest mistake ever' to invite a sister-in-law to live with a family?

        Post-everything

        An intellectual history of post-concepts

        by Herman Paul, Adriaan van Veldhuizen

        Postmodern, postcolonial and post-truth are broadly used terms. But where do they come from? When and why did the habit of interpreting the world in post-terms emerge? And who exactly were the 'post boys' responsible for this? Post-everything examines why post-Christian, post-industrial and post-bourgeois were terms that resonated, not only among academics, but also in the popular press. It delves into the historical roots of postmodern and poststructuralist, while also subjecting more recent post-constructions (posthumanist, postfeminist) to critical scrutiny. This study is the first to offer a comprehensive history of post-concepts. In tracing how these concepts found their way into a broad range of genres and disciplines, Post-everything contributes to a rapprochement between the history of the humanities and the history of the social sciences.

        Thriller | Die Suche nach ihrer verschwundenen Tochter wurde auf Eis gelegt – jetzt machen sie der Polizei die Hölle heiß …

        by Candice Fox, Thomas Wörtche, Andrea O’Brien

        Die junge Tilly Delaney ist vor zwei Jahren auf mysteriöse Weise verschwunden. Die Polizei von Los Angeles hat ihren Fall inzwischen längst zu den Akten gelegt und stuft sie als ertrunken ein. Aus Verzweiflung über die Untätigkeit des LAPD dringen ihre Eltern, Ryan und Elsie Delaney, in das forensische Labor der Strafverfolgungsbehörden ein und stellen ein Ultimatum: Findet endlich unsere Tochter, oder wir werden Stunde um Stunde alle Beweise für andere ungeklärte Fälle vernichten. Detective Charlie Hoskins ist seit fünf Jahren undercover in einer mörderischen Motorradgang tätig. Als seine Tarnung auffliegt, hat er keine andere Wahl, als Tilly selbst zu finden, oder er verliert alles, wofür er gearbeitet hat, sollte das Labor brennen. Lynette Lamb war Polizeibeamtin ‒ bis gestern, als sie vor ihrem ersten Einsatz in Los Angeles gefeuert wurde. Herauszufinden, was mit Tilly passiert ist, ist ihre einzige Chance, wieder in den Beruf einzusteigen, auf den sie sich ihr ganzes Leben lang vorbereitet hat. Hoskins und Lamb müssen sich zusammentun, um diesen cold case zu lösen, und sie müssen schnell handeln ‒ bevor die Situation völlig außer Kontrolle gerät.

        Ein Lyriker im Zeitalter des Hochkapitalismus

        by Walter Benjamin, Rolf Tiedemann, Rolf Tiedemann

        Charles Baudelaire. Ein Lyriker im Zeitalter des Hochkapitalismus - ein Buch, an dem Benjamin von 1937 bis 1939 arbeitete und das er aus dem Passagenwerk ausgliederte - ist Fragment geblieben. Der vorliegende Band vereinigt die als einzige abgeschlossenen Texte Das Paris des Second Empire bei Baudelaire und Über einige Motive bei Baudelaire mit den Zentralpark-Fragmenten: aphorismen- und thesenartige Aufzeichnungen, in denen die ungeschrieben gebliebenen Teile des Baudelaire-Buches Kontur gewinnen.

        Spectral Dickens

        The uncanny forms of novelistic characterization

        by Alexander Bove

        Drawing on the recent ontological turn in critical theory, Spectral Dickens explores an aspect of literary character that is neither real nor fictional, but spectral. This work thus provides an in-depth study of the inimitable characters populating Dickens' illustrated novels using three hauntological concepts: the Freudian uncanny, Derridean spectrality, and the Lacanian real. Thus, while the current discourse on character studies, which revolves around values like realism, depth, and lifelikeness, tends to see characters as mimetic of persons, this book invents new critical concepts to account for non-mimetic forms of characterization. These spectral forms bring to light the important influence of developments in nineteenth-century visual culture, such as the lithography and caricature of Daumier and J.J. Grandville. The spectrality of novelistic characters developed here paves the way for a new understanding of fictional characters in general.

        Darwin für Kinder und Erwachsene

        »Die ungeheure Verschiedenartigkeit der Pflanzen und Tiere«

        by Charles Darwin, Hans Traxler, Volker Mosbrugger, Volker Mosbrugger

        Jeder hat von Charles Darwin gehört, und fast jeder von seiner bahnbrechenden Evolutionstheorie. Volker Mosbrugger und Hans Traxler sind dem Lebensweg Darwins und dem Weg seines Werks gefolgt. Sein bedeutendes Buch »Über die Entstehung der Arten«, das 1859 erstmals erschien, hat ihn weltberühmt gemacht, aber es hat ihm auch Feinde eingebracht, denn sowohl seine Abstammungslehre als auch die Vorstellung, daß im »Kampf ums Dasein« nur die Tüchtigeren überleben, ist von Anfang an bis heute immer wieder angefeindet worden. Geboren wurde Darwin in einem englischen Landstädtchen, sein Interesse an der Natur und den Naturwissenschaften, insbesondere an der Biologie, war schon von Kindheit an groß. Er interessierte sich für die Gesteine, sammelte gerne Käfer, und 1831 brach er zu einer fünfjährigen Expedition mit dem berühmten Schiff, das den Namen Beagle trug, zu einer Reise um die Welt auf. Er besuchte Patagonien und Feuerland und die Galapagosinseln, wo er Vögel beobachtete, was ihn zu seiner Theorie anregte, und von wo er eine Schildkröte mitbrachte, die im Alter von 176 Jahren erst vor kurzem gestorben ist. Darwin selbst starb im Alter von 73 Jahren und wurde in der Westminster Abbey bestattet. Im Jahr 2000 wurde sein Bild auf die britische 10-Pfund-Note gedruckt, weil angeblich sein Bart nur schwer zu fälschen sei.

        Mary and Philip

        The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain

        by Alexander Samson

        Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

        Investigating British television police series

        by Ben Lamb

        You're nicked is the first comprehensive study of television police series in the UK. It reveals how British television's most popular genre has developed stylistically, politically and philosophically from 1955 to the present. Each chapter focuses on a particular decade, investigating how the most-watched series represent the inner workings of the police station, the civilian life of criminals and the private lives of police officers. This new approach unearths the complex ideology underpinning each series and discerns the key insights the genre can provide into the breakdown of the post-war settlement. Offering insightful readings of police series from Dixon of Dock Green to Happy Valley via The Sweeney, The Bill and Cracker, the book is a must-read for crime-drama enthusiasts worldwide. This new paperback edition features an extensive epilogue on Line of Duty and other Jed Mercurio creations.

        The Queen, or the Excellency of Her Sex

        By John Ford

        by Lisa Hopkins

        A scholarly, modern-spelling edition of a play by the Caroline dramatist John Ford, which has not seen much previous critical attention due to being accidentally omitted from the 1652 edition of his complete works. The introduction resituates the play in the Ford canon and explores how it spoke to audiences when it was first composed in the late 1620s, when it tapped into the contemporary fascination with the pathology of melancholy, and also when it was finally published in 1653. By this time the play's main plot about a sovereign who is threatened with execution would have recalled the beheading of Charles I four years earlier. The play can thus be seen as examining both psychology and politics.

        Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species

        by David Amigoni, Jeff Wallace

        This volume marks a new approach to a seminal work of the modern scientific imagination: Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species (1859). Darwin's central theory of natural selection neither originated nor could be contained, with the parameters of the natural sciences, but continues to shape and challenge our most basic assumptions about human social and political life. Several new readings, crossing the fields of history, literature, sociology, anthropology and history of science, demonstrate the complex position of the text within cultural debates past and present. Contributors examine the reception and rhetoric of the Origin and its influence on systems of classification, the nineteenth-century women's movement, literary culture (criticism and practice) and Hinduism in India. At the same time, a re-reading of Darwin and Malthus offers a constructive critique of our attempts to map the hybrid origins and influences of the text. This volume will be the ideal companion to Darwin's work for all students of literature, social and cultural history and history of science. ;

        Christopher Marlowe

        by Charles Forker

        The introduction to this edition contains an analysis of the first quarto (including new evidence of its original dating) and a reconsideration of the play's complex relation to the Shakespearean histories that preceded and followed it. Charles R. Forker offers a discussion of Marlowe's use of sources, and presents a new argument for the drama's five-act structure. He delves into the conflicting and controversial opinions concerning the genre and sexual politics of the play, and also includes a full record of the stage history. Forker has collated some 46 editions (including the important, rare and usually ignored editions of Broughton and Oxberry in 1818). The appendices provide substantive variants from the Broughton and Oxberry texts as well as extracts from the sources. ;

        My Voice: Danny Herman

        by Danny Herman

        Danny Herman was born in 1935 in Königsberg in East Prussia. As the Nazis were rounding up Jews, Danny's father managed to escape to England in July 1939. He travelled to the Kitchener Camp in Kent, which helped refugees secure visas for safer places. Danny and his mother arrived in England just three days before war was declared in 1939, and his father was later sent to an internment camp on the Isle of Man. Danny went on to become a successful runner, competing in many international athletics events and volunteering in many roles, including at the 2002 Commonwealth Games. Danny's detailed memories of arriving in England, initially at the seaside in Kent and then moving to Manchester, create a vivid picture of life-changing events as experienced by a young child. Danny's book is part of the My Voice book collection, a stand-alone project of The Fed, the leading Jewish social care charity in Manchester, dedicated to preserving the life stories of Holocaust survivors and refugees from Nazi persecution who settled in the UK. The oral history, which is recorded and transcribed, captures their entire lives from before, during and after the war years. The books are written in the words of the survivor so that future generations can always hear their voice. The My Voice book collection is a valuable resource for Holocaust awareness and education.
