        David, Donne and Thirsty Deer

        Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott

        by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram

        For nearly half a century Anne Lake Prescott has been a force and an inspiration in Renaissance studies. A force, because of her unique blend of learning and wit and an inspiration through her tireless encouragement of younger scholars and students. Her passion has always been the invisible bridge across the Channel: the complex of relations, literary and political, between Britain and France. The essays in this long-awaited collection range from Edmund Spenser to John Donne, from Clément Marot to Pierre de Ronsard. Prescott has a particular fondness for King David, who appears several times; and the reader will encounter chessmen, bishops, male lesbian voices and Roman whores. Always Prescott's immense erudition is accompanied by a sly and gentle wit that invites readers to share her amusement. Reading her is a joyful education.

        Tatsache, Fiktion, Voraussage

        by Nelson Goodman, Bernd Philippi, Hermann Vetter, Hilary Putnam

        Im Kern dieses Klassikers der Wissenschaftstheorie geht es um das Problem der Induktion. Wie kommt es, daß wir uns in manchen Hinsichten auf Verallgemeinerungen aus unserer Erfahrung verlassen, in anderen Hinsichten hingegen nicht? Wie lassen sich Verallgemeinerungen, die uns bestätigt erscheinen, von anderen unterscheiden?

        Auf dem Sandberg, einer Siedlung am Rande einer polnischen Kleinstadt regieren die Frauen.

Aber die haben eigene Vorstellungen von Glück … Joanna Bator erzählt von den Träumen, Ängsten und Hoffnungen einer von Krieg und Flucht traumatisierten Generation und von der Rebellion und Freiheitssehnsucht ihrer Kinder.

        David and Bathsheba

        By George Peele

        by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington

        David and Bathsheba presents a modernised edition of George Peele's explosive biblical drama about the tangled lives, deadly liaisons, and twisted histories of Ancient Israel's royal family. Martin's critical edition is the first modern single-volume edition of the play since 1912 and opens up this unduly neglected gem of English Renaissance drama to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the play's treatment of its biblical and poetic sources, its engagement with Elizabethan politics, and its forceful representations of religious fanaticism, genocide, and sexual violence. Its commentary notes clarify the text's meaning and staging, guide the reader through the play's dramatisation of the turbulent Davidic period of Ancient Israel's history, and place the play in its broader cultural and artistic milieu. Martin's edition aims to encourage new contemporary critical study of Peele's powerful and disturbing drama.
