November 2011The Honest Man's Fortune
by Grace Ioppolo
This edition of The Honest Man's Fortune, a play co-written by John Fletcher, Nathan Field, and Philip Massinger for the Lady Elizabeth's Men in 1613 and revived for the King's Men in 1625, is the first diplomatic edition of one of the most remarkable dramatic manuscripts of the early modern period. Almost uniquely, the fair-copy manuscript records the entire process of the circular transmission of the text from authors to censor to bookkeeper to actors to playhouse, as well as the types of revision each required. In the hand of Edward Knight, the King's Men's book-keeper, this manuscript's title-page notes that it was '/Plaide In the yeare 1613/' and contains one of the few surviving complete licences by Master of the Revels Sir Henry Herbert who states, 'This Play. Being an olde One and the Originall Lost was reallowd by mee. This: 8 febru. 1624 [i.e., 1625]'. In fact, Herbert accepted as payment for the new licence a printed edition of Sir Philip Sidney's /Arcadia/. More excitingly, the many cuts, deletions, and marginal and interlinear additions and revisions as well as the names of three actors in its stage directions show us two transmissions of this text: the first in 1613, when it was composed and licensed and then adjusted by the authors, and the second in 1625, when it went through almost the same process for revival. With a full discussion of the manuscript's material properties, provenance, transcription history, and the play's composition and performance history, this new edition of /The Honest Man's Fortune/ puts the play where it belongs: at the centre of the canon of Jacobean drama. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesSeptember 2020Manliness in Britain, 1760–1900
Bodies, emotion, and material culture
by Joanne Begiato
This book offers an innovative account of manliness in Britain between 1760 and 1900. Using diverse textual, visual and material culture sources, it shows that masculinities were produced and disseminated through men's bodies -often working-class ones - and the emotions and material culture associated with them. The book analyses idealised men who stimulated desire and admiration, including virile boxers, soldiers, sailors and blacksmiths, brave firemen and noble industrial workers. It also investigates unmanly men, such as drunkards, wife-beaters and masturbators, who elicited disgust and aversion. Unusually, Manliness in Britain runs from the eras of feeling, revolution and reform to those of militarism, imperialism, representative democracy and mass media, periods often dealt with separately by historians of masculinities.

May 2001Der Briefwechsel und andere Dokumente zu Rilkes Begegnung mit Rodin
by Rainer Maria Rilke, Auguste Rodin, Rätus Luck, Heidrun Werner, Rätus Luck
Mit dieser Ausgabe wird die Korrespondenz zwischen dem Dichter Rainer Maria Rilke und dem Bildhauer Auguste Rodin erstmals und, soweit überliefert, erstmals vollständig in deutscher Sprache vorgestellt. Die Briefe werden ergänzt durch Tagebuchnotizen und eine Vielzahl von Äußerungen des Dichters über Rodin sowie durch Augenzeugenberichte Dritter. Rätus Luck legt damit über die Dokumentation der wechselvollen Verbindung zwischen zwei großen Künstlern hinaus so etwas wie ein - nach RodinMonographie und Rodin-Vortrag - drittes Rodin-Buch Rilkes vor: Es zeigt den unmittelbaren Eindruck, den die Persönlichkeit des Bildhauers beim jungen Rilke hinterließ, und zeichnet dabei zugleich den Verlauf der Rodin-Rezeption am Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nach, zu der Namen wie Anne de Noailles, Rudolf Kassner, Harry Graf Kessler, Sidonie Nádherný von Borutin, Emile Verhaeren oder Helene von Nostitz gehören.

Aid to Armenia
Humanitarianism and intervention from the 1890s to the present
by Joanne Laycock, Francesca Piana
Interventions on behalf of Armenia and Armenians have come to be identified by scholars and practitioners alike as defining moments in the history of humanitarianism. This book reassesses these claims, critically examining a range of interventions by governments, international and diasporic organizations, and individuals that aimed to 'save Armenians'. Drawing on multidisciplinary perspectives, it traces the evolution of these interventions from the late-nineteenth century to the present day, paying particular attention to the aftermaths of the genocide and the upheavals of the post-Soviet period. The contributions connect diverse places (the Caucasus, Russia, the Middle East, Europe, North America, South America, and Australia) to reveal shifting transnational networks of aid and intervention. Aid to Armenia explores this history, and engages critically with contemporary humanitarian questions facing Armenia, the South Caucasus region and the wider diaspora.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 1904Common Sense
Addressed to The Inhabitants of America
by Thomas Paine
Published anonymously in 1776, six months before the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was a radical and impassioned call for America to free itself from British rule and set up an independent republican government. Savagely attacking hereditary kingship and aristocratic institutions, Paine urged a new beginning for his adopted country in which personal freedom and social equality would be upheld and economic and cultural progress encouraged.

September 1988Zerstörung des moralischen Selbstbewußtseins: Chance oder Gefährdung?
Praktische Philosophie in Deutschland nach dem Nationalsozialismus
by Peter Rohs, Forum für Philosophie Bad Homburg, Siegfried Blasche, Wolfgang R. Köhler, Wolfgang Kuhlmann, Alan Posener
Praktische Philosophie ist wesentlich Rekonstruktion von vortheoretischen moralischen Intuitionen und daher angewiesen auf ein grundsätzliches Vertrauen in die Gültigkeit des von ihr zu Rekonstruierenden. In kaum einem Teil der Welt wurde nun das Vertrauen in diese vortheoretischen moralischen Intuitionen derart tiefgehend und nachhaltig erschüttert, ja gebrochen, wie das in Deutschland durch den Nationalsozialismus geschah. Dieses Faktum bedeutet für die Moralphilosophie in Deutschland sowohl Chance wie auch Gefährdung. Es ist zugleich ein wichtiger Schlüssel für das Verständnis sowohl der besonderen Spannungen zwischen den verschiedenen Positionen der praktischen Philosophie innerhalb Deutschlands wie auch der Sonderstellung der praktischen Philosophie aus Deutschland gegenüber entsprechenden Bemühungen aus anderen westlichen Demokratien, die aus der ambivalenten Befangenheit der deutschen Philosophen resultiert.
