Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2024A book of monsters
Promethean horror in modern literature and culture
by David Ashford
This books traces the rise to prominence in the twentieth-century of a sub-genre of gothic fiction that is, emphatically, a horror of enlightenment rationality rather than gothic darkness, examining post-modern revisions of Modernist "Promethean" tropes in an eclectic range of gothic, fantasy and SF writing. Whether the subject be terror of London's churches in the psychogeographical fiction of Iain Sinclair and Alan Moore, the Orcs in the linguistic fantasies of J.R.R. Tolkien, King Kong, killer-computers, or demon-children in post-war British science-fiction, A Book of Monsters offers illuminating perspectives on the darker recesses of the post-modern imagination, setting out a compelling, and comprehensive, overview on our contemporary unconscious.

April 2023J. R. R. Tolkien
Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Kinderbuch ab 4 Jahre
by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Aaron Cushley, Silke Kleemann
Schon in der Schule hatte er ein Faible für alte Sprachen. Er lernte nicht nur Latein und Griechisch, sondern auch Alt- und Mittelenglisch. Und er malte Karten, auf denen er die Welt des Mittelalters wieder zum Leben erweckte. Später erfand der Professor für Sprachwissenschaft für seine Kinder fantastische Geschichten. Und so entstand die Welt der Hobbits, Elben, Zwerge und Zauberer - und die Saga vom »Herrn der Ringe«. Das Buch und seine Verfilmungen schlagen bis heute ein Millionenpublikum in Bann. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

The ArtsJuly 2006Hollywood romantic comedy
States of Union, 1934–1965
by Kathrina Glitre
This book explores the changing representation of the couple, focusing on themes of marriage, equality and desire. Kathrina Glitre moves beyond the usual screwball territory to consider cycles of production from 1934-65. The central concern with the representation of the couple is distinctive and includes discussion of three star couples: Myrna Loy and William Powell, Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, and Doris Day and Rock Hudson. Glitre offers explanations of genre, as well as detailed analysis of screwball comedy, career woman comedy and sex comedy. Each cycle is placed into context to analyse cultural discourses around heterosexuality, gender, romance and love. This structure also enables a more sophisticated understanding of such conventions as masquerade, gender inversion and the happy ending. The book will appeal to university students and academics working on genre, gender, culture and representation, and anyone with a keen interest in Hollywood romantic comedy. ;
