The ArtsJanuary 2019The British working class in postwar film
by Philip Gillett
An incidental pleasure of watching a film is what it tells us about the society in which it is made. Using a sociological model, The British working class in postwar film looks at how working-class people were portrayed in British feature films in the decade after the Second World War. Though some of the films examined are well known, others have been forgotten and deserve reassessment. Original statistical data is used to assess the popularity of the films with audiences. With its interdisciplinary approach and the avoidance of jargon, this book seeks to broaden the approach to film studies. Students of media and cultural studies are introduced to the skills of other disciplines, while sociologists and historians are encouraged to consider the value of film evidence in their own fields. This work should appeal to all readers interested in social history and in how cinema and society works.

September 2018Starke Stücke. Johann Sebastian Bach: Das Weihnachts-Oratorium
by Markus Vanhoefer, Stefan Wilkening, Stefan Hunstein, Burchard Dabinnus, Julia Fischer-Nothaft, Tobias Lelle, Ulrich Frank, Rafael Grigo, Max Hanft, Gabriel Askanio Hecker, Leonhard Huber, Jens Rassmus, Ingrid Kertesi, Judith Németh, Josef Mukk, Janos Toth, Markus Vanhoefer
Leipzig, im Advent des Jahres 1734. Johann Sebastian Bach sitzt bibbernd in der Componierstube der Thomasschule. Es ist der kälteste Winter seit langem, so kalt, dass angeblich sogar die Vögel an den Ästen festfrieren. Der Komponist hat sich Großes für die feierlichen Weihnachts-Gottesdienste der beiden Leipziger Hauptkirchen, St. Thomas und St. Nikolai, vorgenommen. Er möchte die Geschichte von Christi Geburt mit Tönen erzählen, aber der strenge Frost hält ihn vom Arbeiten ab. Bis ihn eine Tasse Kaffee und ein fehlgeleiteter Schneeball auf den richtigen Weg bringen. Die Zeit drängt. Wird es Johann Sebastian Bach dennoch schaffen, sein Werk bis zu den Weihnachtsfeiertagen zu vollenden?

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2010Royalists and Royalism during the Interregnum
by Jason McElligott, Peter Lake, David L. Smith, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda
What was it like to live under the English Republic and, later, Cromwell's Protectorate, if one supported the defeated Stuarts and yearned for the day when Charles II would once again set foot in England? This book tells the story of the traumatic decade of the 1650s (or, 'the Interregnum', from the Latin meaning 'between the reign of the kings') from the vantage point of those who lost the Civil Wars. It describes how these men and women negotiated the difficult choices they faced: to compromise, collaborate, or resist. It brings together essays by established and emerging historians and literary scholars in Britain, Europe, the United States and Australia. The essays sketch the difficulties, complexities, and nuances of the Royalist experience during the Commonwealth and Protectorate, looking at women, religion, print-culture, literature, the politics of exile, and the nature and extent of royalist networks in England. ;

The ArtsMay 2022Hyde Park
by James Shirley
by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens
Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

March 2025Leó Szilárd
The man behind the bomb
by Arne Molfenter
Leó Szilárd is a brilliant physicist - although he originally began his studies in Berlin without even being enrolled. On long walks home from university, he discusses scientific issues of all kinds with his professor and neighbour Albert Einstein. Szilárd, who is of Jewish descent, flees to London in 1933. His goal is to prevent the Germans from being the first to have nuclear weapons. With Albert Einstein and other scientists, he puts himself at the service of the American government to advance the development of an atomic bomb for defence purposes. When he realises that the Manhattan Project is not about defence, but about an attack on Japan, he is horrified. Author and journalist Arne Molfenter traces the life of this brilliant man whose invention was used completely against his intentions. It is an exciting book about a scientist whose research influenced the course of history.
