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.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2009John Ashbery and American Poetry
by David Herd
starting point. David Herd sets out to provide readers with a new critical language through which they can appreciate the beauty and complexity of Ashbery's writing. Presenting the poet in all his forms -avant-garde, nostalgic, sublime and camp - the book argues that the perpetual inventiveness of Ashbery's work has always been underpinned by the poets desire to write the poem fit to cope with its occasion. Tracing Ashbery's development in the light of this idea, and from its origins in the dazzling artistic environment of 1950's New York, the book evaluates his poetry against the aesthetic, literary and historical backgrounds that have informed it. The story of a brilliant career, and a history of the period in which that career has taken shape, John Ashbery and American Poetry provides a compelling account of Ashbery's importance to Twentieth Century Literature. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesMarch 1999Volpone
Ben Jonson
by David Bevington, Brian Parker, David Bevington
This edition contains in distilled form the insight and learning found in the fuller Revels critical editions, but with less of the learning apparatus that is appropriate to a critical edition. Compact and up to date introduction and commentary. The price and format are designed to be competitive with any paperback teaching edition of this play. ;

March 2009Suchmaschinen.
Die Welt als Datenbank
by David Gugerli
Plötzlich diese Übersicht. Milliarden von Seiten, in Sekundenbruchteilen durchsucht, als Trefferliste sauber angezeigt, mit der größten Selbstverständlichkeit sortiert nach Rang und Namen. Google bestimmt die Routinen des Alltags und ist dennoch nicht die Suchmaschine schlechthin. Auch außerhalb des World Wide Web gibt es zahllose, technisch hochgerüstete Prozeduren des Suchens. Die gegenwärtige Selbstverständlichkeit der einen Suchmaschine läßt leicht übersehen, daß Suchmaschinen einen Interessenkonflikt induzieren zwischen jenen, die sie einsetzen wollen, und jenen, auf die sie angesetzt werden. Ihr prekärer Status im Spannungsfeld zwischen Übersicht und Überwachung wird verdrängt. Anhand von vier Fallstudien zeigt David Gugerli die Entwicklung der Suchmaschine auf, von den frühen Fernseh-Ratespielen, von Robert Lembkes Unterhaltungsshow »Was bin ich?«, über Eduard Zimmermanns Fahndungssendung »Aktenzeichen XY« und Horst Herolds »Kybernetik der Polizei« bis zu der von Ted Codd ausgehenden Entwicklung der relationalen Datenbank. Während Lembke auf die Feststellung von Normalität ausgerichtet war, suchte Zimmermann die Devianz, Herold die Muster und Codd die allgemeingültige Such- und Abfragesprache für in Form gebrachte Wissensbestände, die man seit Mitte der sechziger Jahre Datenbanken nennt. »Die Geschichte der Suchmaschine ist eine eminent politische. Mit Suchmaschinen lassen sich Hoffnungen auf Fundamentaldemokratisierung und informationelle Emanzipation ebenso verbinden wie Horrorvisionen eines Orwellschen Überwachungsstaats, der über ein technokratisches Wissensmonopol verfügt.«
