        Religion in Revolutionary England

        by Christopher Durston, Judith Maltby

        This book offers a collection of essays tightly focused around the issue of religion in England between 1640 and 1660, a time of upheaval and civil war in England. Edited by well-known scholars of the subject, topics include the toleration controversy, women's theological writing, observance of the Lord's Day and prayer books. To aid understanding, the essays are divided into three sections examining theology in revolutionary England, inside and outside the revolutionary National Church and local impacts of religious revolution. Carefully and thoughtfully presented, this book will be of great use for those seeking to better understand the practices and patterns of religious life in England in this important and fascinating period. ;

        Asia in Western fiction

        by Robin Winks

        Any reader who has ever visited Asia knows that the great bulk of Western-language fiction about Asian cultures turns on stereotypes. This book, a collection of essays, explores the problem of entering Asian societies through Western fiction, since this is the major port of entry for most school children, university students and most adults. In the thirteenth century, serious attempts were made to understand Asian literature for its own sake. Hau Kioou Choaan, a typical Chinese novel, was quite different from the wild and magical pseudo-Oriental tales. European perceptions of the Muslim world are centuries old, originating in medieval Christendom's encounter with Islam in the age of the Crusades. There is explicit and sustained criticism of medieval mores and values in Scott's novels set in the Middle Ages, and this is to be true of much English-language historical fiction of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Even mediocre novels take on momentary importance because of the pervasive power of India. The awesome, remote and inaccessible Himalayas inevitably became for Western writers an idealised setting for novels of magic, romance and high adventure, and for travellers' tales that read like fiction. Chinese fictions flourish in many guises. Most contemporary Hong Kong fiction reinforced corrupt mandarins, barbaric punishments and heathens. Of the novels about Japan published after 1945, two may serve to frame a discussion of Japanese behaviour as it could be observed (or imagined) by prisoners of war: Black Fountains and Three Bamboos.

        Revolutionary Britannia?

        Reflections on the threat of revolution in Britain, 1789–1848

        by Edward Royle

        Europe was swept by revolution in the period from 1789 to 1848. Britain, alone of the major western powers, seemed exempt from this revolutionary fervour. The governing class attributed this exemption to divine providence and the soundness of the British Constitution. This view has been upheld by historians for over a century. This book provides students with an alternative view of the potential for revolution and the resources of conservatism in early industrial Britain which challenges many of the common assumptions. Incorporates quotations from primary sources to give the reader a critical sense of why revolution was taken seriously by people at the time. Shows how the revolutionaries were defeated by the government's propaganda against revolutionary sentiments and the strength of popular conservatism. ;

        Rot – die Farbe der Liebe

        by Gisela Linder, Gisela Linder

        Rot, die sinnlichste aller Farben, inspirierte Dichter und Maler gleichermaßen: »Wir lieben die roten Lippen, die halb geöffnet sich uns darbieten. Rot ist unser irdischer Lebensstoff. Wir sind ganz und gar ausgekleidet mit ihm. Die rote Farbe ist uns … so nah, daß zwischen ihr und uns kein Raum zur Überlegung besteht. Sie ist die Farbe der reinen Gegenwart, unter ihrem Zeichen verständigen wir uns auf sprachlose Art«, schrieb Ernst Jünger, und Karoline von Günderode dichtete: »Du innig Rot, bis an den Tod soll meine Lieb dir gleichen.« In Bildern von Paul Klee, Henri Matisse, Andy Warhol und vielen anderen wurde Rot zur dominierenden Farbe.Rot, das ist die Farbe der Liebe, und in leisen, romantischen Texten ist sie oft ein alles beherrschendes Motiv. Aber sie steht auch für die Verlockung, für Rauschhaftes. Beides, Liebe und Leidenschaft, wird durch die Farbe Rot symbolisiert, wie sie hier in Texten u.a. von Benn, Eichendorff und Celan und Bildern von Beckmann, Dalí und Chagall vorgestellt, gedeutet, sichtbar gemacht wird.

        Degeneration, decadence and disease in the Russian fin de siècle

        Neurasthenia in the life and work of Leonid Andreev

        by Frederick H. White

        Early in the twentieth century, Russia was experiencing a decadent period of cultural degeneration just as science was developing ways to identify medical conditions which supposedly reflected the health of the entire nation. Leonid Andreev, the leading literary figure of his time, stepped into the breach of this scientific discourse with literary works about degenerates. The spirited social debates on mental illness, morality and sexual deviance which resulted from these works became part of the ongoing battle over the definition and depiction of the irrational, complicated by Andreev's own publicised bouts with neurasthenia. This book examines the concept of pathology in Russia, the influence of European medical discourse, the development of Russian psychiatry, and the role that it had in popular culture, by investigating the life and works of Andreev. It engages the emergence of psychiatry and the role that art played in the development of this objective science.
