Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2024Marie Duval
Maverick Victorian Cartoonist
by Simon Grennan, Roger Sabin, Julian Waite
Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist offers the first critical appraisal of the work of Marie Duval (Isabelle Émilie de Tessier, 1847-1890), one of the most unusual, pioneering and visionary cartoonists of the later nineteenth century. It discusses key themes and practices of Duval's vision and production, relative to the wider historic social, cultural and economic environments in which her work was made, distributed and read, identifing Duval as an exemplary radical practitioner. The book interrogates the relationships between the practices and the forms of print, story-telling, drawing and stage performance. It focuses on the creation of new types of cultural work by women and highlights the style of Duval's drawings relative to both the visual conventions of theatre production and the significance of the visualisation of amateurism and vulgarity. Marie Duval: maverick Victorian cartoonist establishes Duval as a unique but exemplary figure in a transformational period of the nineteenth century.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2019Waiting for the revolution
The British far left from 1956
by Evan Smith, Matthew Worley, Jacquelyn Arnold, Daniel Finn, Michael Fitzpatrick, Diarmaid Kelliher, Jack Saunders, J Daniel Taylor, Jodi Burkett, Gavin Brown, Daisy Payling, Christopher Massey, Sheryl-Bernadett Buckley, Daryl Leeworthy, Rory Scothorne, Ewan Gibbs, Lyndon White (Lawrence Parker)
Waiting for the revolution is a volume of essays examining the diverse currents of British left-wing politics from 1956 to the present day. The book is designed to complement the previous volume, Against the grain: The far left in Britain from 1956, bringing together young and established academics and writers to discuss the realignments and fissures that maintain leftist politics into the twenty-first century. The two books endeavour to historicise the British left, detailing but also seeking to understand the diverse currents that comprise 'the far left'. Their objective is less to intervene in ongoing issues relevant to the left and politics more generally, than to uncover and explore the traditions and issues that have preoccupied leftist groups, activists and struggles. To this end, the book will appeal to scholars and anyone interested in British politics.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2017The West must wait
County Galway and the Irish Free State, 1922–32
by Una Newell
The West must wait presents a new perspective on the development of the Irish Free State. It extends the regional historical debate beyond the Irish revolution and raises a series of challenging questions about post-civil war society in Ireland. Through a detailed examination of key local themes - land, poverty, politics, emigration, the status of the Irish language, the influence of radical republicans and the authority of the Catholic Church - it offers a probing analysis of the socio-political realities of life in the new state. This book opens up a new dimension by providing a rural contrast to the Dublin-centred views of Irish politics. Significantly, it reveals the level of deprivation in local Free State society with which the government had to confront in the west. Rigorously researched, it explores the disconnect between the perceptions of what independence would deliver and what was achieved by the incumbent Cumann na nGaedheal administration.

September 1971Warten auf Godot. En attendant Godot. Waiting for Godot
by Samuel Beckett, Elmar Tophoven, Joachim Kaiser
Über dieses Jahrhundertstück des irischen Nobelpreisträgers Samuel Beckett schrieb der Philosoph Günther Anders: »Der Clown ist von einer Traurigkeit, die, da sie das traurige Los der Menschen überhaupt abspiegelt, die Herzen all Menschen solidarisiert und durch diese ihre Solidarisierung erleichtert … Die Farce scheint zum Refugium der Menschenliebe geworden zu sein: die Komplizenhaftigkeit der Traurigen zum letzten Trost. Und weiß auch die Tröstung nicht, warum sie tröstet und auf welchen Godot sie vertröstet – sie beweist, daß Wärme wichtiger ist als Sinn; und daß es nicht der Metaphysiker ist, der das letzte Wort behalten darf, sondern nur der Menschenfreund.« Dreisprachige Ausgabe: Auf den Doppelseiten findet sich auf der linken Seite in der linken Spalte der französische, in der rechten Spalte der englische Originaltext und auf der rechten Seite – etwas größer gedruckt und über die gesamte Seitenbreite – die Übersetzung ins Deutsche.
