Literature & Literary StudiesSeptember 2002An anthology of women's travel writings
by Shirley Foster, Sara Mills
This anthology aims to challenge stereotypes of women travellers. Rather than simply presenting writings by Victorian women who travelled bravely around the world disregarding social convention and danger, the editors present a range of writing and possible ways of being a woman traveller. As well as the 'eccentric' woman traveller, the editors have included writings by those who might be seen as failed travellers, cautious and conventional travellers and those who did not conform to the adventurous heroine stereotype. Because travelling as a woman and writing as a woman presents the author with a number of textual problems which must be negotiated, Foster and Mills have chosen to include writings which confronted these problems and which resolved them (or did not resolve them) in different ways. These textual problems include the depiction of other women, the representation of spatial relations, the negotiations undertaken in relation to the adventure heroine narrative and character and the position taken by the author in relation to the representation of knowledge. These issues are all crucial in relation to travel writing by women , and the women, whose writing has been collected together in this anthology have made bold decisions in relation to them. ;

2020Vitamin D
The healing power of the sunshine vitamin
by Uwe Gröber and Prof. Dr. Michael F. Holick
Vitamin D deficiency is a global health problem that puts the quality of life and life expectancy of more than a billion children and adults at risk worldwide. Many lifestyle diseases may be associated with vitamin D deficiency: myocardial infarction, infections, cancer, neurological diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, to name just a few. This 4th updated edition incorporates numerous new insights into the therapeutic effect of vitamin D, including its importance for a healthy pregnancy, prenatal imprinting, optimum sporting performance, diabetes mellitus and autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis or multiple sclerosis. Since the metabolism and the effect of vitamin D are supported by a complex network of micronutrients – for example, magnesium, vitamin A or vitamin K – a specific chapter is devoted to this network. Here, the reader can discover how vitamin D successfully protects against diseases, improves the quality of life and optimises medication and treatment!

Literary studies: c 1500 to c 1800October 2012Writers in Conflict in Sixteenth-Century France
Essays in honour of Malcolm Quainton
by Elizabeth Vinestock, David Foster
These essays written to celebrate the distinguished career of Renassiance scholar, Professor Malcolm Quainton, confirm the idea that the sixteenth-century in France was deeply marked by conflict, but readers expecting to find a volume wholly devoted to studies of war and religious disputation will be intrigued to discover that these rare not the only topics discussed. A number of subtle analyses reveal the stresses of internal conflict experienced by writers and woven into the fabric of their compositions. The three sections focus respectively on living and writing in conflict, the Wars of Religion, and intertextuality as conflict. Subjects include Ronard, Baïf, Du Bellay, D'Aubigné, sonnets by Mary Queen of Scots and the political role of court festivities, while a previously unknown riposte to Clément Marot is first published here. This book will appeal to scholars and students of French language, literature and culture, and sixteenth-century European history.

March 2015Hermann Hesse, ›Narziß und Goldmund‹
Eine Dokumentation zur Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte
by Hermann Hesse, Volker Michels
»Narziß und Goldmund« war zu Lebzeiten Hermann Hesses sein erfolgreichstes Buch. Dass es nichts von seiner Zugkraft eingebüßt hat, belegen die Übersetzungen in über 30 Sprachen und die auf drei Millionen Exemplare angestiegene Verbreitung der deutschen Ausgaben. Dieser im Mittelalter der Spätgotik spielende Roman, der für Hesse das »Ergebnis einer Auseinandersetzung mit 2000 Jahren Christentum und 1000 Jahren deutscher Geschichte« war, zeigt am Beispiel der Lebensgier des Abenteurers und Künstlers Goldmund und seines asketischen Freundes Narziß die Polarität zwischen Sinnlichkeit und Geist, Phantasie und Verstand und ihre Verbindung in der Kunst. Inwieweit dieses 1930 erschienene Buch zugleich ein Kontrastprogramm zur nationalsozialistischen Verfälschung der deutschen Vergangenheit war, illustriert die hier erstmals vorgelegte Dokumentation seiner Entstehungsgeschichte in Hesses Briefen und Selbstzeugnissen. Sie überliefert neben den Quellenstudien des Verfassers auch seine Absicht, »der Idee von Deutschland und deutschem Wesen, die ich seit der Kindheit in mir hatte«, darzustellen und ihr seine Liebe zu gestehen, »gerade weil ich alles, was heute spezifisch ›deutsch‹ ist, so sehr hasse«, wie er 1933 in einem seiner Briefe bekannte.
