Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2016EcoGothic
by Elisabeth Bronfen, William Hughes, Andrew Smith, Steven Bruhm, Ken Gelder, Jerrold Hogle, Avril Horner, William Hughes
This book will provide the first study of how the Gothic engages with ecocritical ideas. Ecocriticism has frequently explored images of environmental catastrophe, the wilderness, the idea of home, constructions of 'nature', and images of the post-apocalypse - images which are also central to a certain type of Gothic literature. By exploring the relationship between the ecocritical aspects of the Gothic and the Gothic elements of the ecocritical, this book provides a new way of looking at both the Gothic and ecocriticism. Writers discussed include Ann Radcliffe, Mary Shelley, Ambrose Bierce, Algernon Blackwood, Margaret Atwood, Cormac McCarthy, Dan Simmons and Rana Dasgupta. The volume thus explores writing and film across various national contexts including Britain, America and Canada, as well as giving due consideration to how such issues might be discussed within a global context.

Inquiry Based Stress Reduction (IBSR) in Practice - How to Use “the Work” of Byron Katie in Psychotherapy and Coaching.
Manual for Clinical Practice
by Marie Odiel van Rhijn, Esther Leuning
Inquiry Based Stress Reduction is the name of the method which was developed by Byron Katie as ‘the Work’. Byron Katie is the author of very well-known self-help books. However, until now there was no manual available which explains the application of this method and the methodological and scientific evidence which can be given to support it. This book provides a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of how the method can be used by therapists in psychotherapeutic settings in mental health care, business coaches and coaches in other fields of life. As well as providing an extremely precise description of the working method for each step of the protocol, all these steps are clarified by means of practical examples and case studies. Target Group: psychologists, therapists and coaches.

Literature & Literary StudiesOctober 2024The Legacy of John Polidori
The Romantic Vampire and its Progeny
by Sam George, Bill Hughes
John Polidori's novella The Vampyre (1819) is perhaps 'the most influential horror story of all time' (Frayling). Polidori's story transformed the shambling, mindless monster of folklore into a sophisticated, seductive aristocrat that stalked London society rather than being confined to the hinterlands of Eastern Europe. Polidori's Lord Ruthven was thus the ancestor of the vampire as we know it. This collection explores the genesis of Polidori's vampire. It then tracks his bloodsucking progeny across the centuries and maps his disquieting legacy. Texts discussed range from the Romantic period, including the fascinating and little-known The Black Vampyre (1819), through the melodramatic vampire theatricals in the 1820s, to contemporary vampire film, paranormal romance, and science fiction. They emphasise the background of colonial revolution and racial oppression in the early nineteenth century and the cultural shifts of postmodernity.

Biography & True StoriesMarch 2024Barbara Comyns
A savage innocence
by Avril Horner
The extraordinary twentieth-century writer Barbara Comyns led a life as captivating as the narratives she spun. This pioneering biography reveals the journey of a woman who experienced hardship and single-motherhood before the age of thirty but went on to publish a sequence of novels that are unique in the English language. Comyns turned her hand to many jobs in order to survive, from artist's model to restoring pianos. Hundreds of unpublished letters reveal an occasionally desperate but resourceful and witty woman whose complicated life ranged from enduring poverty when young to mixing with spivs, spies and high society. While working as a housekeeper in her mid-thirties, Comyns began transforming the bleak episodes of her life into compelling fictions streaked with surrealism and deadpan humour. The Vet's Daughter (1959), championed by Graham Greene, brought her fame, although her use of the gothic and macabre divided readers and reviewers. This biography not only excavates Comyns's life but also reclaims her fiction, providing a timely reassessment of her literary contribution. It sheds new light on a remarkable author who deftly captured the complexities of human life.

International lawSeptember 2009War crimes and crimes against humanity in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
by Christine Byron
This book provides a critical analysis of the definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity as construed in the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. Each crime is discussed from its origins in treaty or customary international law, through developments as a result of the jurisprudence of modern ad hoc or internationalised tribunals, to modifications introduced by the Rome Statute and the Elements of Crimes. The influence of human rights law upon the definition of crimes is discussed, as is the possible impact of State reservations to the underlying treaties which form the basis for the conduct covered by the offences in the Rome Statute. Examples are also given from recent conflicts to aid a 'real life' discussion of the type of conduct over which the International Criminal Court may take jurisdiction. This will be relevant to postgraduates, academics and professionals with an interest in the International Criminal Court and the normative basis for the crimes over which the Court may take jurisdiction.

Prometheus auf seinem Felsen
Zweisprachige Ausgabe
by Ted Hughes, Eva Clemens, Jutta Kaußen, Jutta Kaußen
Zu den Geschichten, die sich als Mythos tief ins menschliche Gedächtnis eingeprägt haben und die immer noch gegenwärtig sind, gehört die von Prometheus: seinen Taten, seinem Leiden, seinem Nicht-sterben-Können. Als Suchbegriff im Internet eingegeben, finden sich unter ›Prometheus‹ weltweit 66.275 Seiten. Durch die Jahrhunderte haben sich vor allem die Künstler dieser Figur immer wieder angenommen – oder war es andersherum? Hat sich Prometheus der Künstler angenommen und ihnen die Möglichkeit gegeben, sich über ihn und seine Geschichte mitzuteilen? Die einundzwanzig Gedichte von Ted Hughes aus Prometheus auf seinem Felsen zeigen den Protagonisten bewegungsunfähig, festgehalten in einer ausweglosen, todesgleichen Situation – bis er verstanden hat, was ihm geschieht, und er das Unausweichliche annimmt. Nun erst kann er sich lösen, ist wiedergeboren und geheilt. In einer englisch-deutschen Ausgabe, mit den Übertragungen von Jutta Kaußen und einem eigens für diesen Band gemalten Bilderzyklus von Eva Clemens, wird der Prometheus des großen englischen Lyrikers, 1973 in einer limitierten und raren Ausgabe erschienen, nun auch dem deutschen Publikum zugänglich.
