The ArtsMay 2022Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

October 2023Post-Mortem
Autopsy stories: the unusual experiences of a pathologist
by Roland Sedivy
— True crime stories from the morgue — Famous deaths and autopsy stories resolved, such as Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and the case of Anne Greene, who survived her execution by hanging The post-mortem examination. A glimpse inside the interior of the human being. Many find the idea fascinating; for others it is creepy or even repugnant. There are still numerous myths and horror stories surrounding the autopsy, many of them associated with primal human fears such as that of being buried alive, which have existed since Antiquity. It is precisely for this reason that it is important to carry out the post-mortem examination with the utmost conscientiousness. Pathologist Roland Sedivy provides an exciting insight into his profession. Profound and with tremendous humour, he tells us about the early days of the autopsy, and shares with us some macabre and some mysterious cases.

by Markus Vanhoefer, Stefan Wilkening, Stefan Hunstein, Burchard Dabinnus, Julia Fischer-Nothaft, Tobias Lelle, Ulrich Frank, Rafael Grigo, Max Hanft, Gabriel Askanio Hecker, Leonhard Huber, Jens Rassmus, Ingrid Kertesi, Judith Németh, Josef Mukk, Janos Toth, Markus Vanhoefer
Leipzig, im Advent des Jahres 1734. Johann Sebastian Bach sitzt bibbernd in der Componierstube der Thomasschule. Es ist der kälteste Winter seit langem, so kalt, dass angeblich sogar die Vögel an den Ästen festfrieren. Der Komponist hat sich Großes für die feierlichen Weihnachts-Gottesdienste der beiden Leipziger Hauptkirchen, St. Thomas und St. Nikolai, vorgenommen. Er möchte die Geschichte von Christi Geburt mit Tönen erzählen, aber der strenge Frost hält ihn vom Arbeiten ab. Bis ihn eine Tasse Kaffee und ein fehlgeleiteter Schneeball auf den richtigen Weg bringen. Die Zeit drängt. Wird es Johann Sebastian Bach dennoch schaffen, sein Werk bis zu den Weihnachtsfeiertagen zu vollenden?

September 2023My Bank Washes Greener
Eco lies told by the finance sector
by Bernd Villhauer
— By the expert in ethical business — Once you have finished this, you will never fall for green financial lies again — Global Ethic Institute (Weltethos- Institut) network And suddenly every bank is sustainable. This truly necessary "debate book" explains in a wellfounded way what green-washing means in the financial sector, and why banks, insurance companies, asset managers, stockbrokers and other financial players clothe themselves in their allegedly so green-and-friendly cloak. It provides an easy-to-understand explanation of the various forms of greenwashing, how we can recognise the different "varieties" and – above all – how we can avoid them. This is also important because the entire financial and capital system is an important part of a sustainable future – and this can only succeed if it is honest, transparent and impact-orientated.

The Catholicism of literature in the age of the Book of Common Prayer
Poetry, plays, works, 1558-1689
by Thomas Rist
Offering a complete reading of English Literature throughout 1558-1689, this book demonstrates the continuity of Roman Catholicism in English Literature from the accession of Elizabeth I to the deposing of James II. Rist shows that poetry and plays promoted Roman Catholic ideas in a Biblicist age which established the Church of England through the Book of Common Prayer. From the very idea of literary works to chapters on the Eucharist, Purgatory, Christian worship and the Virgin Mary, Rist joins together major and minor authors of the era to present English Literature afresh. Important literary figures include William Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Thomas Middleton, Queen Henrietta Maria, John Donne, John Dryden, Robert Herrick, Margaret Cavendish and Aphra Behn.
