        Das verheißene Land

        La terra promessa. Das Merkbuch des Alten. Il taccuino del vecchio. Gedichte. Italienisch und deutsch

        by Giuseppe Ungaretti, Paul Celan

        Erinnerung hat die gleiche Funktion wie das Gedicht: Abwesendes als Abwesendes zu vergegenwärtigen. Das verheißene Land - das Land des Äneas, das Land des Dichters, die Liebe der Dido - ist als das unerreichbare das nur zu erinnernde. Im Merkbuch des Alten hat Ungaretti der Erfahrung des alten Mannes, dem letzten Andrang des Gefühls in der sich wehrenden Einsamkeit, der Wüste des Vergessens, eine Sprache gegeben, die mit der größten Einfachheit die größte Transparenz erreicht.

        Interweaving myths in Shakespeare and his contemporaries

        by Janice Valls-Russell, Agnès Lafont, Charlotte Coffin

        This volume proposes new insights into the uses of classical mythology by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, focusing on interweaving processes in early modern appropriations of myth. Its 11 essays show how early modern writing intertwines diverse myths and plays with variant versions of individual myths that derive from multiple classical sources, as well as medieval, Tudor and early modern retellings and translations. Works discussed include poems and plays by William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe and others. Essays concentrate on specific plays including The Merchant of Venice and Dido Queen of Carthage, tracing interactions between myths, chronicles, the Bible and contemporary genres. Mythological figures are considered to demonstrate how the weaving together of sources deconstructs gendered representations. New meanings emerge from these readings, which open up methodological perspectives on multi-textuality, artistic appropriation and cultural hybridity.

        A Vision of Battlements

        by Anthony Burgess

        by Andrew Biswell, Paul Wake

        A Vision of Battlements is the first novel by the writer and composer Anthony Burgess, who was born in Manchester in 1917. Set in Gibraltar during the Second World War, the book follows the fortunes of Richard Ennis, an army sergeant and incipient composer who dreams of composing great music and building a new cultural world after the end of the war. Following the example of his literary hero, James Joyce, Burgess takes the structure of his book from Virgil's Aeneid. The result is, like Joyce's Ulysses, a comic rewriting of a classical epic, whose critique of the Army and the postwar settlement is sharp and assured. The Irwell Edition is the first publication of Burgess's forgotten masterpiece since 1965. This new edition includes an introduction and notes by Andrew Biswell, author of a prize-winning biography of Anthony Burgess.
