Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2022The pastor in print
Genre, audience, and religious change in early modern England
by Amy G. Tan
The pastor in print explores the phenomenon of early modern pastors who chose to become print authors, addressing ways authorship could enhance, limit or change clerical ministry and ways pastor-authors conceived of their work in parish and print. It identifies strategies through which pastor-authors established authorial identities, targeted different sorts of audiences and strategically selected genre and content as intentional parts of their clerical vocation. The first study to provide a book-length analysis of the phenomenon of early modern pastors writing for print, it uses a case study of prolific pastor-author Richard Bernard to offer a new lens through which to view religious change in this pivotal period. By bringing together questions of print, genre, religio-politics and theology, the book will interest scholars and postgraduate students in history, literature and theological studies, and its readability will appeal to undergraduates and non-specialists.

July 2014Ministers of the Great Qing Dynasty
by Wang Yuewen
This novel, through the creation of a group of ministers of the Qing Dynasty represented by Chen Tingjing, reflects the difficult choice of the officials in their personality, morality and behavior in a unique historical background, and recreates the situation of the officialdom some 300 years ago. On the basis of historical materials, the author presents the image of the celebrated upright, lenient, competent and iron-handed Minister Cheng Tingjing. Chen Tingjing, originally named Chen Jing, became a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations at the age of 21. As there were two candidates named Chen Jing, Emperor Shunzhi changed his name to Chen Jingting. From the moment he entered the officialdom, he was involved in constant confrontations with Mingzhu and Songgotu whose power later became second only to that of the emperor, and in open or secret struggle with Emperor Kangxi’s confidants such as Xu Qianxue and Gao Shiqi … In the 53 years of his official career, he consecutively served as Emperor Kangxi’s tutor, minister of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenues and the Ministry of Penalty, Grand Secretary of the Imperial Library, and editor-in-chief of Kangxi Dictionary before he died in post and was crowned with eternal glory. The plot of the novel is both lucid and heavy, giving enlightenment and caution to people of today.

Literature & Literary StudiesJanuary 2019Pastoral poetry of the English Renaissance
An anthology
by J. B. Lethbridge, Sukanta Chaudhuri
Renaissance pastoral poetry is gaining new interest for its distinctive imaginative vein, its varied allusive content, and the theoretical implications of the genre. This is by far the biggest ever anthology of English Renaissance pastoral poetry, with 277 pieces spanning two centuries. Spenser, Sidney, Jonson and Drayton are amply represented alongside their many contemporaries. There is a wide range of pastoral lyrics, weightier allusive pieces, and translations from classical and vernacular pastoral poetry; also, more unusually, pastoral ballads and poems set in all kinds of prose works. Each piece has been freshly edited from the original sources, with full apparatus and commentary. This book will be complemented by a second volume, to be published in 2017, which includes a book-length introduction, textual notes and analytic indices.

April 1997Verlobung in Luzern
Roman. Aus dem Englischen von Helga Herborth
by Elizabeth Arnim, Helga Herborth
Empörung im Haus des Bischofs – die wohlbehütete Tochter hat sich verlobt! Mit einem deutschen Pastor! Und dieser erscheint unvermittelt, um seine Verlobte in ihr zukünftiges Zuhause in Kökensee im fernen Ostpreußen zu bringen. Doch die Freuden des Ehelebens werden bald getrübt. Der Pastor spricht seiner jungen Frau von der heiligen Mutterpflicht, er, der es ansonsten mit seinem göttlichen Auftrag nicht sonderlich genau nimmt. Durch die sonntäglichen Predigten fühlt er sich bloß gestört in seiner eigentlichen Arbeit, der Entwicklung neuer Düngemittel. Und Ingeborg – eher wie ein Blatt im Wind wird sie durch ihr eigenes Leben geweht und stößt immer wieder an die harten Mauern der Konvention. Mit witzig-satirischer Feder beschreibt Elisabeth von Arnim die Tücken eines Frauenlebens, das von einer Abhängigkeit in die nächste wankt, den Vater durch den Ehemann ersetzt und bestenfalls vom Regen in die Traufe kommt.

Literature & Literary StudiesFebruary 2024Sir Philip Sidney: The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia
The New Arcadia, Second Revised Edition
by Victor Skretkowicz, Elisabeth Chaghafi, J. B. Lethbridge
Shipwrecks, gory battle scenes, cross-dressing, toxic relationships, abduction, torture (psychological and physical), comical country bumpkins, and, of course, love and poetry -Sir Philip Sidney's witty pastoral romance The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia is the classic that has it all in terms of entertainment factors. Modern readers mostly know Arcadia in its complete 'old' version, but it is the New Arcadia (published in 1590) that was the most influential and most widely imitated literary text of the sixteenth century. While preserving the basic plot - a ruler attempts to escape an alarming oracle by moving his family to the countryside and engaging in shepherd-cosplay until the arrival of two foreign princes triggers a chain of events leading to the fulfilment of the oracle - this version adds further narrative strands and introduces ambitious revisions that showcase Sidney's stylistic brilliance as a prose writer.

July 2000Golgatha. Aller Seelen
Traumspiel. Stücke und Materialien
by Werner Fritsch
Aller Seelen: Allerseelen 1943: Ein Mann wird vor Jen Augen seines kleinen Sohnes von Wehrmachtssoldaten unweit der slowenischen Grenze erschossen. Sie verdächtigen ihn, Partisanen unterstützt zu haben. Allerseelen 1945 die gleiche Szene in Deutschland: Aber dieses Mal wird der Mann von ehemaligen KZ-Häftlingen ermordet, die blindwütig Rache nehmen. Dazwischen liegt die Hölle eines KZs, datiert Allerseelen 1944. Golgatha: Pastor Kurt, ein Mann der Friedensbewegung und Verteidiger der Schwachen, wird des Mordes an seiner Frau Corinna angeklagt. Alles spricht dafür, daß er sie bestialisch umgebracht hat. In seinem Stück zeigt Werner Fritsch den Kampf des gesellschaftlich am Pranger stehenden Geistlichen, ohne sich ein Urteil über dessen Schuld oder Unschuld anzumaßen.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2023Critical theory and human rights
From compassion to coercion
by David McGrogan
This book describes how human rights have given rise to a vision of benevolent governance that, if fully realised, would be antithetical to individual freedom. It describes human rights' evolution into a grand but nebulous project, rooted in compassion, with the overarching aim of improving universal welfare by defining the conditions of human well-being and imposing obligations on the state and other actors to realise them. This gives rise to a form of managerialism, preoccupied with measuring and improving the 'human rights performance' of the state, businesses and so on. The ultimate result is the 'governmentalisation' of a pastoral form of global human rights governance, in which power is exercised for the general good, moulded by a complex regulatory sphere which shapes the field of action for the individual at every turn. This, unsurprisingly, does not appeal to rights-holders themselves.
