Literature & Literary StudiesAugust 2021The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2026Massacres in Early Modern Drama
by Georgina Lucas
Massacres in Early Modern Drama analyses the dynamically ambivalent meanings constructed by the language and action of massacre on the early modern stage. Informed by theories drawn from massacre studies, the monograph challenges orthodoxies about senseless violence, illuminates archaic forms of massacres, and attests to their brutally diverse stage representations. Anchored by the contention that the St Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris (1572) was instrumental to early modern understandings of massacre, the book uses this atrocity, and its most famous dramatic depiction - Christopher Marlowe's The Massacre at Paris - as a hook to explore larger concerns about massacre in plays by Robert Greene, George Chapman, John Fletcher, and William Shakespeare. Thus, Massacres in Early Modern Drama considers how early modern drama forms part of a continual cultural process of trying to piece together the contentious and traumatic phenomenon of massacre.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Mary and Philip
The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain
by Alexander Samson
Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

Songs Sonette Elegien. Zweisprachige Ausgabe
by John Donne, Wolfgang Held, Wolfgang Held, Madeline Mary Duff
Aus dem Schwarm der metaphysical poets ragt John Donne, Zeitgenosse von Shakespeare und Marlowe, als ihr Doyen und Meister hervor. Seine bildreichen und komplexen Gedichte, vor allem die zynisch-erotischen, geistvoll zugespitzten, enthusiastisch brutalen Liebesgedichte, wirken bis heute und gehören zum festen Bestand lyrischer Sprachkunst. Wolfgang Helds temperamentvolle Übertragung bietet in Metrum und Reim eine äußerste Annäherung an die Originale. Ein Vorwort und ein Essay erschließen die Entwicklung John Donnes vom elisabethanischen Kavalier zum todessüchtigen Dekan von Sankt Paul und bestimmen die Poetologie seiner Gedichte zwischen bildkräftiger Anschauung, intellektueller Kombinationskunst und leidenschaftlicher Ausdruckskraft.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2016The Troublesome Reign of John, King of England
By George Peele
by David Bevington, Charles Forker, Charles R. Forker, Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Helen Ostovich
Forker's critical edition fills the need for a fully annotated, historically contextualised and modernised text of the most important Elizabethan chronicle play apart from Shakespeare and Marlowe's Edward II. Now attributed definitely to George Peele, this drama helped to establish a major theatrical genre, raising contemporary political and religious issues through the dramatisation of medieval history in a compelling and popular fashion. A major source for Shakespeare, it throws new light on the bard's adaptation of earlier drama and helps to illustrate his working methods. With the full introduction and generous notes this Revels Plays edition will be the first port of call for students and enthusiasts of Elizabethan and early modern drama. ;
