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.

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.

This volume is the first ever attempt to unite and translate some of the key texts which informed Johan Huizinga's famous study of the Burgundian court, The Waning of the Middle Ages, a work which has never gone out of print. It combines these texts with sources that Huizinga did not consider, those that illuminate the wider civic world that the Burgundian court inhabited and the dynamic interaction between court and city. Through these sources, and an introduction offering new perspectives on recent historiography, the book tests whether Huizinga's controversial vision of the period still stands. Covering subjects including ceremonial events, such as the spectacles and gargantuan banquets that made the Burgundian dukes the talk of Europe, the workings of the court, and jousting, archery and rhetoric competitions, the book will appeal to students of late medieval and early modern Europe and to those with wider interests in court culture, ritual and ceremony.
'A rule of mine is this', said William Goldman in 1983, 'there are always three hot directors and one of them is always David Lean.' One of the best known and most admired of British film makers, David Lean had a directorial career that spanned five decades and encompassed everything from the intimate black-and-white romance of Brief Encounter (1945) to the spectacular Technicolor epic of Lawrence of Arabia (1962). This book offers comprehensive coverage of every feature film directed by Lean, yielding new insights on the established classics of his career as well as its lesser-known treasures. Its analysis prioritises questions of gender and emphasises the often-overlooked but highly significant recurrence of female-centred narratives throughout Lean's career. Drawing extensively on archival historical materials while also presenting nuanced close readings of individual films, David Lean offers a fascinating and original account of the work of a remarkable British film maker. ;
Neben ihren bahnbrechenden Arbeiten zur Gender-Theorie und zur Philosophie hat Judith Butler immer auch als kritische Intellektuelle in die politischen Debatten eingegriffen. Ob sie die neue Form des Antisemitismus diskutiert, die rechtlich-politische Lage der Gefangenen in Guantanamo Bay oder die amerikanischen Reaktionen auf die Anschläge vom 11. September, immer erweist sie sich als ebenso subtile wie engagierte Denkerin, die zu differenzieren weiß und dadurch erst den Kern der Probleme freilegt. So wird der theoretische Entwurf einer Ethik, wie sie ihn zuletzt in Kritik der ethischen Gewalt entwickelt hat, auf die aktuelle politische Praxis bezogen. Butler zeigt, wie in jedem öffentlichen Diskurs scharfe Grenzen gezogen werden zwischen dem, was gesagt, und dem, was nicht gesagt werden darf.
Im November 2002 hat Judith Butler mit überwältigendem Erfolg die Adorno-Vorlesungen an der Universität Frankfurt gehalten, die nun in einer deutlich erweiterten Fassung als Taschenbuch erscheinen. In ihrer Kritik der ethischen Gewalt geht sie der Frage nach, wie man angesichts einer Theorie des Subjekts, dessen Entstehungsbedingungen sich nie restlos klären lassen, dennoch die Möglichkeit von Verantwortung und Rechenschaft bewahren kann. In Auseinandersetzung mit Adorno, Cavarrero, Foucault, Lévinas und der Psychoanalyse zeigt Butler, daß jede dieser Theorien etwas ethisch Bedeutsames enthält, das sich aus den Grenzen ergibt, die jedem Versuch gezogen sind, Rechenschaft von sich selbst abzulegen: Noch in demjenigen, das wir »ethisches Scheitern« nennen, steckt eine ethische Wertigkeit und Bedeutsamkeit, und die Frage der Ethik erscheint genau an den Grenzen unserer Systeme der Verständlichkeit. »Mit dem Begriff der ›ethischen Gewalt‹ legt Butler den moralphilosophischen Kern von Adornos Denken frei.« Die literarische Welt

Ein kindliches Gemüt, gepaart mit tiefer Melancholie, ein etwas verschrobener Außenseiter, ein politisch unbequemer Geist: Caspar David Friedrich – geboren in Greifswald, bereits zu Lebzeiten umstritten, nach seinem Tod für ein halbes Jahrhundert vergessen, heute der bedeutendste Maler der deutschen Romantik. In seiner prägnanten Biografie erzählt Boris von Brauchitsch, wie Caspar David Friedrich die Malerei revolutionierte, entschieden mit dem Kunstverständnis seiner Zeitgenossen brach und mit seinen rätselhaften Bildern zu einem prägenden Vorläufer der Moderne wurde. Dabei zeigt er überraschende Zusammenhänge auf, nimmt die Wiederentdeckung und enthusiastische Rezeption des Malers in den Blick und macht anschaulich, warum die Faszination seines Werkes gerade heute – in Zeiten von Wachstumsskepsis und einer Rückbesinnung auf die Kräfte einer zusehends bedrohten Natur – eine besondere Wirkung entfaltet.
