        Die Geschichte der gestiefelten Kitty

        by Beatrix Potter, Quentin Blake, Sabine Erbrich

        »Es war einmal eine ehrliche, wohlerzogene junge schwarze Katze« … Dass Kitty alles andere als ehrlich und wohlerzogen ist, liegt bei einer Erzählung von Beatrix Potter natürlich auf der Hand. Dass sie ihrem Frauchen, einer liebenswürdigen alten Dame, aber derart hinterlistige Streiche spielt, damit konnte niemand rechnen. Anstatt nämlich brav im Gartenhäuschen zu nächtigen, streunt Kitty in Frack, Pelzstiefeln und mit einer Schrotflinte bewaffnet durch die Wälder und begegnet allerlei fiesen Gestalten wie zwei ungehobelten Frettchen und – zu Kittys großem Entsetzen – schließlich auch dem hundsgemeinen Fuchs Mr. Todd. Zum Glück gibt es da noch ihre Freunde, die Kitty aus dem größten Schlamassel wieder heraushelfen … Eine bisher unveröffentlichte Geschichte von Beatrix Potter - erstmals auf Deutsch Mit Illustrationen des britischen Großmeisters Sir Quentin Blake

        Vor dem Palast

        Gespräche über Einar Schleef

        by Corinne Orlowski

        »Der Ort vor dem Palast ist der Ort der Transformation, des Figurwerdens, des Tragödiewerdens, er ist der eigentliche Ort des Theaters«, sagt die Theaterwissenschaftlerin Ulrike Haß im Gespräch. Dort, inszenierend und über das Theater schreibend (Droge Faust Parsifal), hat sich der Theatermann Schleef aufgehalten. Von dort aus hat er operiert. Aber wer war Einar Schleef (1944-2001)?Die Gespräche dieses Bandes kreisen die kontroverse Ausnahmeerscheinung und das Werk dieses Künstlers ein, der Regisseur, Autor, Maler, Darsteller, Filmer und Fotograf in einer Person war. Die Herausgeberin fragt: Was machte ihn aus? Welche Entdeckungen sind in den künstlerischen Disziplinen, die er beherrschte, zu machen? Was an den Erkenntnissen, Thesen, Provokationen und Demonstrationen, die Einar Schleefs Arbeiten bereithalten, verlangt danach, vorgezeigt und diskutiert, verwandelt und weitergegeben zu werden? Wo steht das Theater heute? Wie geht es weiter?Mit der Herausgeberin gesprochen haben: Sebastian Baumgarten, Bibiana Beglau, Jakob Fedler, Michael Freitag (über den Maler), Christine Groß, Ulrike Haß, Carl Hegemann, Regine Herrmann (über den Fotografen), Jürgen Holtz, Elfriede Jelinek, Wolfram Koch, Thomas Köck, Hans-Ulrich Müller-Schwefe (über den Autor), Armin Petras, Claus Peymann, Günther Rühle, Ulrich Rasche, Hans-Jürgen Syberberg, Heiner Sylvester (über den Filmer), Rita Thiele, Susan Todd, Martin Wuttke.

        The penny politics of Victorian popular fiction

        by Rob Breton

        Penny politics offers a new way to read early Victorian popular fiction such as Jack Sheppard, Sweeney Todd, and The Mysteries of London. It locates forms of radical discourse in the popular literature that emerged simultaneously with Brittan's longest and most significant people's movement. It listens for echoes of Chartist fiction in popular fiction. The book rethinks the relationship between the popular and political, understanding that radical politics had popular appeal and that the lines separating a genuine radicalism from commercial success are complicated and never absolute. With archival work into Newgate calendars and Chartist periodicals, as well as media history and culture, it brings together histories of the popular and political so as to rewrite the radical canon.

        Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530

        by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small

        This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.

        The 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.
