Selected Essays of Anne Lake Prescott
by Anne Lake Prescott, Roger Kuin, William A. Oram
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.

Literature & Literary StudiesMay 2018David and Bathsheba
By George Peele
by Mathew R. Martin, David Bevington
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.

David Simon's American City
by Mikkel Jensen
This book examines the television serials created by influential showrunner David Simon. The book argues that Simon's main theme is the state of the contemporary American city and that all of his serials (barring one about the Iraq War) explore different facets of the metropolis. Each series offers distinctly different visions of the American city, but taken together they represent a sustained and intricate exploration of urban problems in modern America. From deindustrialisation in The Wire and residential segregation in Show Me a Hero to post-Katrina New Orleans in Treme and the transformation of the urban core in The Deuce, David Simon's American city traces the urban through-line in Simon's body of work. Based on sustained analysis of these serials and their engagement with contemporary politics and culture, David Simon's American city offers a compelling examination of one of television's most arresting voices.

November 2026Theodor W. Adorno, Heinz-Klaus Metzger, Briefwechsel 1926-1969
Musikalische Briefwechsel III
by Theodor W. Adorno, Heinz-Klaus Metzger, Clemens Nachtmann, Florian Neuner
Im Jahr 1950 nahm Theodor W. Adorno, gerade aus der Emigration zurückgekehrt, erstmals an den legendären Internationalen Ferienkursen für Neue Musik in Darmstadt teil. Unter seinen Hörern war der damals achtzehnjährige Heinz-Klaus Metzger. Diese Begegnung war der Beginn einer Freundschaft, die erst mit dem Tod Adornos endete und anfangs ganz im Zeichen von Adornos Philosophie der neuen Musik stand – dem Paukenschlag in der Musikwissenschaft Nachkriegsdeutschlands. Der Briefwechsel selbst kam jedoch erst in Gang, als Metzger in Paris bei dem Schönberg-Schüler Max Deutsch Komposition studierte – und entzündete sich vollends an Adornos Essay Das Altern der neuen Musik, der als heftige Attacke auf die Nachkriegsavantgarde aufgenommen und alsbald ebenso heftig von Metzger öffentlich kritisiert wurde. Weitere Themen sind u.a. der Aufstieg und Niedergang der seriellen Musik und der »Komet« John Cage, dessen Kompositionen die internationale Musikszene polarisierten. Die Korrespondenz, die bis ins Jahr 1967 reicht, belegt nicht nur Adornos vitale Anteilnahme an den musikalischen Entwicklungen der 50er und 60er Jahre, sondern läßt auch ein Stück Musikgeschichte lebendig werden, das zu den spannendsten des vergangenen Jahrhunderts gehört.

November 1964Briefe
Lateinisch und deutsch
by Sebastian Münster, Karl Heinz Burmeister, Karl Heinz Burmeister
"»Die vorliegende Ausgabe der Briefe Münsters stützt sich in der Hauptsache auf die Autographen; einige Briefe sind uns jedoch nur im Druck überliefert. Um einer einheitlichen Orthographie willen haben wir die heute übliche lateinische Schreibweise für alle Briefe gewählt. Das erschien auch dadurch gerechtfertigt, daß sich die zahlreichen Abbreviaturen Münsters durch den modernen Druck nicht wiedergeben lassen. Wir haben der Ausgabe eine deutsche Übersetzung beigegeben, weil wir beobachten müssen, wie die Kenntnis der alten Sprachen immer mehr schwindet.« Karl Heinz Burmeister"

June 1993Ästhetik und Rhetorik
Lektüren zu Paul de Man
by Karl Heinz Bohrer, Karl Heinz Bohrer
Die Literaturtheorie, die der in Belgien geborene Paul de Man in den siebziger Jahren unter dem Namen Dekonstruktivismus entwickelte, steht bei vielen in dem Ruf, eine eher unverständliche, esoterische Art der Literaturbetrachtung zu sein. Ein Grund für diese Fehleinschätzung dürfte darin bestehen, daß Paul de Man seine Vorgehensweise nie abstrakt entfaltet und begründet hat, sondern sie in zahlreichen Essays jeweils an konkreten Texten exemplifiziert. Die von Karl Heinz Bohrer versammelten Essays wenden die von Paul de Man vorgetragenen Lektürenstrategie – wie ist die Rhetorik eines Textes beschaffen, was ist der Text als Rhetorik, und in welchem Zusammenhang stehen Rhetorik und Ästhetik? – auf seine eigenen Texte an. Dadurch wird zum einen dem Leser die Dekonstruktion Paul de Mans in ihren einzelnen Schritten nachvollziehbar, und zugleich ist es ihm möglich, Reichweite und Angemessenheit von dessen Analysen zu beurteilen.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2014Court and civic society in the Burgundian Low Countries c.1420–1530
by Andrew Brown, Graeme Small
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.
