        Translating hell

        Vernacular theology and apocrypha in the medieval North Sea

        by Stephen C. E. Hopkins

        In the Middle Ages, hell was useful because it was vaguely defined. Canonical scriptures scarcely mention hell, leaving much to the imaginations of early Christians, who used it to sort out who belonged within the faith. This book explores how hell became a place for literary experiments with local challenges in theology and identity. Following the reception and transformations of two popular hell apocrypha, it argues that they served as this role because of their liminal textual authority. As noncanonical scriptures, apocrypha afforded medieval writers space to revise their hells (since they were not actually scripture), while also encouraging readers to revere those experiments as valid (since they seemed like scripture). The book brings together adaptations from early medieval England, Iceland, Ireland, and Wales, placing the early vernacular theologies of the North Sea in comparative conversation.

        Consider the Choices

        Das erste Romance-Gamebook in deutscher Übersetzung | Mit exklusivem Farbschnitt in der ersten Auflage

        by Doris Webster, Mary Alden Hopkins, Annette Hahn

        In Consider the Choices entscheiden die Leser:innen, was die Figuren tun – und mit wem sie am Ende zusammenkommen: Ein interaktiver Liebesroman aus den Dreißigerjahren, das erste Choose Your Own Adventure-Buch der Welt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Helen – jung, schön und voller Lust auf die große weite Welt – sowie zwei sehr unterschiedliche Verehrer: der wohlhabende, allseits bewunderte Jed Harringdale, der jedoch nicht zu arbeiten gedenkt und schon mehrfach verlobt war, und der fleißige, treue Saunders Mead, zuverlässig, aber auch ein wenig langweilig. Neben Helens Schicksal bestimmen die Leser:innen auch über die Wege und Wendungen von Jed und Saunders – und erleben dabei 43 verschiedene Enden. Mal romantisch, mal tragisch, mal überraschend modern zeigt dieser fast hundert Jahre alte Roman mit Witz und Realismus, wie unberechenbar das Leben und die Liebe verlaufen können.

        Poison on the early modern English stage

        Plants, paints and potions

        by Lisa Hopkins, Bill Angus

        Many early modern plays use poison, most famously Hamlet, where the murder of Old Hamlet showcases the range of issues poison mobilises. Its orchard setting is one of a number of sinister uses of plants which comment on both the loss of horticultural knowledge resulting from the Dissolution of the Monasteries and also the many new arrivals in English gardens through travel, trade, and attempts at colonisation. The fact that Old Hamlet was asleep reflects unease about soporifics troubling the distinction between sleep and death; pouring poison into the ear smuggles in the contemporary fear of informers; and it is difficult to prove. This book explores poisoning in early modern plays, the legal and epistemological issues it raises, and the cultural work it performs, which includes questions related to race, religion, nationality, gender, and humans' relationship to the environment.

        Beginning Shakespeare

        by Lisa Hopkins, Peter Barry, John McLeod

        'Beginning Shakespeare' introduces students to the study of Shakespeare, and grounds their understanding of his work in theoretical discourses. After an introductory survey of the dominant approaches of the past, seven chapters examine the major current critical approaches to Shakespeare; psychoanalysis, New Historicism, Cultural Materialism, gender studies, queer theory, postcolonial criticism and performance criticism. A further chapter looks at the growing roles of biography, attribution studies and textual studies. Each chapter analyses the strengths and weaknesses of a particular perspective, allowing students to gain a clear critical purchase on the respective approaches, and to make informed choices between them. Each chapter ends with a list of suggested further reading and interactive exercises based on the key issues raised. An invaluable introduction, essential for anyone studying Shakespeare, 'Beginning Shakespeare' offers students a map of the current critical practices, and a sense of the possibilities for developing their own approaches. ;

        Antony and Cleopatra

        by Carol Chillington Rutter

        This book writes a performance history of Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare's most ambiguous play, from 1606 to the present. It observes the choices that actors, directors, designers, musicians and adapters have made each time they have brought the play's thoughts on power, race, masculinity, regime change, exoticism, love, dotage and delinquency into alignment with a new present. Informed by close attention to theatre records - promptbooks, stage managers' reports, reviews - it offers in-depth analyses of fifteen international productions by (among others) the Royal Shakespeare Company, Citizens Theatre Glasgow, Northern Broadsides, Berliner Ensemble and Toneelgroep Amsterdam. It ends seeing Shakespeare's black Egyptian Queen Cleopatra - whited-out in performance for centuries - restored to the contemporary stage. Written in a lively and accessible style, this book will be of interest to students, academics, actors, directors and general readers alike.
