Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2016The World and other unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall
by Jana Funke
This book presents a wide range of previously unpublished works by Radclyffe Hall. These new materials significantly broaden and complicate critical views of Hall's writings. They demonstrate the stylistic and thematic range of her work and cover diverse topics, including 'outsiderism', gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, the supernatural and the First World War. Together, these texts shed a new light on unrecognised or misunderstood aspects of Hall's intellectual world. The volume also contains a substantial introduction, which situates Hall's unpublished writings in the broader context of her life and work. Overall, the book invites a critical reassessment of Hall's place in early twentieth-century literature and culture and offers rich possibilities for teaching and future research. It will be of interest to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of English literature, modernism, women's writing, and gender and sexuality studies, and to general readers. ;

October 2018Das verhängnisvolle Dreieck
Rasse, Ethnie, Nation
by Stuart Hall, Frank Lachmann
Flaschenpost an die Zukunft! In diesem postum veröffentlichten Buch über das verhängnisvolle Dreieck von Rasse, Ethnie und Nation zeichnet der große Soziologe und Begründer der Cultural Studies, Stuart Hall, nach, wie alte Hierarchien in unseren Gesellschaften aufgebrochen wurden und unterdrückte Minderheiten neue Repräsentationsformen von kultureller Identität durchzusetzen begannen – und wie sich dagegen immer wieder Widerstand formierte. Von der Renaissance bis zur Aufklärung und darüber hinaus diente der Begriff »Rasse« dazu, soziale Unterschiede aufgrund von Hautfarbe als natürlich und unwandelbar darzustellen. Auch heute findet die rassistische Fundierung von ethnischer und politischer Zugehörigkeit im Zeichen der Identitätspolitik wieder verstärkt Zuspruch. Die Neudefinitionen, die im 20. Jahrhundert von der schwarzen Bürgerrechtsbewegung und von Migrantinnen und Migranten in westlichen Gesellschaften durchgesetzt wurden, zeigen für Hall jedoch, wie Identitäten und Vorurteile im Medium der Sprache transformiert werden können. Sie geben Grund zur Hoffnung, dass in der migrantischen Diaspora immer wieder neue Anstöße entstehen, um den Bedrohungen des Fundamentalismus und des Nationalismus zu begegnen. Ein Vermächtnis von brennender Aktualität.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2000Cultures of Empire
A reader
by Catherine Hall, Meg Davies
Collects together the best articles by key historians, literary critics, and anthropologists on the cultures of colonialism in the British Empire in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.. A substantial introduction by the distinguished historian, Professor Catherine Hall, discusses new approaches to the history of empire and establishes a narrative frame through which to read the essays which follow.. The volume is clearly divided into three sections: theoretical, emphasising concepts and approaches; the colonisers 'at home', focusing on how empire was lived in Britain; and 'away' - the attempt to construct new cultures through which the colonisers defined themselves and others in varied colonial sites. A useful guide to recent scholarship on the culture of imperialism. ;

Biography & True StoriesMarch 1905Alaska Days with John Muir
by Samuel Hall Young
Samuel Hall Young, a Presbyterian clergyman, met John Muir when the great naturalist's steamboat docked at Fort Wrangell, in southeastern Alaska, where Young was a missionary to the Stickeen Indians. In "Alaska Days With John Muir" he describes this 1879 meeting: "A hearty grip of the hand and we seemed to coalesce in a friendship which, to me at least, has been one of the very best things in a life full of blessings." This book, first published in 1915, describes two journeys of discovery taken in company with Muir in 1879 and 1880. Despite the pleas of his missionary colleagues that he not risk life and limb with "that wild Muir," Young accompanied Muir in the exploration of Glacier Bay. Upon Muir's return to Alaska in 1880, they traveled together and mapped the inside route to Sitka. Young describes Muir's ability to "slide" up glaciers, the broad Scotch he used when he was enjoying himself, and his natural affinity for Indian wisdom and theistic religion. From the gripping account of their near-disastrous ascent of Glenora Peak to Young's perspective on Muir's famous dog story "Stickeen," Alaska Days is an engaging record of a friendship grounded in the shared wonders of Alaska's wild landscapes.

Business, Economics & LawDecember 2020Women before the court
Law and patriarchy in the Anglo-American world, 1600–1800
by Lindsay R. Moore
Women before the court offers an innovative, comparative approach to the study of women's legal rights during a formative period of Anglo-American history. It traces how colonists transplanted English legal institutions to America, examines the remarkable depth of women's legal knowledge and shows how the law increasingly undermined patriarchal relationships between parents and children, masters and servants, husbands and wives. The book will be of interest to scholars of Britain and colonial America, and to laypeople interested in how women in the past navigated and negotiated the structures of authority that governed them. It is packed with fascinating stories that women related to the courts in cases ranging from murder and abuse to debt and estate litigation. Ultimately, it makes a remarkable contribution to our understandings of law, power and gender in the early modern world.

Acts of supremacy
by J. Bratton, Richard Cave, Brendan Gregory, Michael Pickering
Imperialist discourse interacted with regional and class discourses. Imperialism's incorporation of Welsh, Scots and Irish identities, was both necessary to its own success and one of its most powerful functions in terms of the control of British society. Most cultures have a place for the concept of heroism, and for the heroic figure in narrative fiction; stage heroes are part of the drama's definition of self, the exploration and understanding of personal identity. Theatrical and quasi-theatrical presentations, whether in music hall, clubroom, Shakespeare Memorial Theatre or the streets and ceremonial spaces of the capital, contributed to that much-discussed national mood. This book examines the theatre as the locus for nineteenth century discourses of power and the use of stereotype in productions of the Shakespearean history canon. It discusses the development of the working class and naval hero myth of Jack Tar, the portrayal of Ireland and the Irish, and the portrayal of British India on the spectacular exhibition stage. The racial implications of the ubiquitous black-face minstrelsy are focused upon. The ideology cluster which made up the imperial mindset had the capacity to re-arrange and re-interpret history and to influence the portrayal of the tragic or comic potential of personal dilemmas. Though the British may have prided themselves on having preceded America in the abolition of slavery and thus outpacing Brother Jonathan in humanitarian philanthropy, abnegation of hierarchisation and the acceptance of equality of status between black and white ethnic groups was not part of that achievement.
