This series stands out for a particular graphic style and for the abundance of photographs, specially made for these books.Other series on Rome are instead dedicated to in-depth studies on specific historical and customs themes, or on the mysterious aspects of the city that also reveal its dark side.In the MMC catalogue are other non-fiction books on topics such as Music, Interculture, Anthropology and a series of stories for children encouraging solidarity, non-violence and respect for the environment

Dido, Queen of Carthage
by Christopher Marlowe
by Ruth Lunney
A city burns, and a queen burns for love: Dido, Queen of Carthage re-imagines one of the great legendary stories. The encounter between a wandering hero and an African queen engenders love and loss, eroticism and absurdity, childish simplicity and compelling eloquence. Written for children to perform in the 1580s, Dido is nonetheless a remarkable play, revolutionary in its approach to character, blank verse, and audiences. This volume is the first single-text scholarly edition in English. It is an indispensable resource for scholars, students, and theatre practitioners. The edition features an accessible text, lightly punctuated for ease of reading and speaking. It incorporates new research into authorship (which indicates that Marlowe wrote the play), a detailed analysis of Dido's sources, and a survey of criticism; it assesses the evidence for early performances and provides extensive information about modern productions.

Shakespeare's borrowed feathers
How early modern playwrights shaped the world's greatest writer
by Darren Freebury-Jones
A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare's beloved plays. Shakespeare's plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and the community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare's artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

The Massacre at Paris
By Christopher Marlowe
by Martin White, Mathew R. Martin
This volume presents a modernised edition of Christopher Marlowe's critical engagement with one of the bloodiest and traumatic episodes of the French Wars of Religion, the wholesale massacre of French Huguenots in Paris in August, 1572. Sensorily shocking and intellectually gripping, the play's dramatic action spans a tumultuous two decades in French history to unfold for its audience the tragic consequences of religious fanaticism, power politics, and dynastic rivalry. Comprehensively introduced and containing full commentary notes, this edition opens up this frequently neglected but historically significant and dramatically powerful play to student and scholar alike. The introduction examines such topics as the history of the massacre, the play's treatment of its sources, the play's dramatisation of trauma, and the play's exploration of notions of religious toleration.

Mary and Philip
The marriage of Tudor England and Habsburg Spain
by Alexander Samson
Mary I, eldest daughter of Henry VIII, was Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. For much of this time she ruled alongside her husband, King Philip II of Spain, forming a co-monarchy that put England at the heart of early modern Europe. In this book, Alexander Samson presents a bold reassessment of Mary and Philip's reign, rescuing them from the neglect they have suffered at the hands of generations of historians. The co-monarchy of Mary I and Philip II put England at the heart of early modern Europe. This positive reassessment of their joint reign counters a series of parochial, misogynist and anti-Catholic assumptions, correcting the many myths that have grown up around the marriage and explaining the reasons for its persistent marginalisation in the historiography of sixteenth-century England. Using new archival discoveries and original sources, the book argues for Mary as a great Catholic queen, while fleshing out Philip's important contributions as king of England.

Der Preis der Wahrheit
Gabe, Geld und Philosophie
by Marcel Hénaff, Eva Moldenhauer
Besteht eine Beziehung zwischen Wahrheit und Geld? Kann man von einem Preis der Wahrheit sprechen? Anders als die Sophisten, die einen Preis für ihre Lehren festsetzen, spricht Sokrates ohne Bezahlung. Doch nimmt er Geschenke an, die der von ihm angebotenen Gabe entsprechen. Er muß es sogar, wie Aristoteles versichert, weil Wissen und Geld kein gemeinsames Maß besitzen. Gibt es also Verbindlichkeiten, die sich keinem Vertrag verdanken, und Güter, die sich jedem Marktwert entziehen? Gibt es ein soziales Band diesseits von Gesetz und Geld? Marcel Hénaffs Studie zeigt, daß sich eine Antwort auf diese Fragen nur diesseits der eingespielten Arbeitsteilung zwischen ökonomischen und moralischen Diskursen finden läßt. Im Anschluß an die anthropologischen Forschungen von Marcel Mauss lokalisiert er die Quelle des Sozialen in dem elementaren Austausch von Gabe und Gegengabe. Doch was heißt »Geben«? Bedeutet es, »irgend etwas« anzubieten? Und woher kommt seine Kraft der Verbindlichkeit, warum fordert es dazu auf, die Gabe zu erwidern? Die anthropologische und ethnologische Forschung lehrt uns, daß die Antwort nicht mit Blick auf die gegebene Sache zu finden ist. Geben ist ein Akt der Anerkennung, der seinerseits Anerkennung fordert. Diese Einsicht entfaltet Hénaff am Phänomen des Opfers, der Schuld und der Gnade ebenso wie an den Strukturen des Geldverkehrs und des Marktes. In einer tour de force durch die europäische Geistesgeschichte analysiert er die religiösen und rechtlichen, die moralischen und ökonomischen Transformationen des Gabentauschs von Sokrates und den Sophisten bis in die Gegenwart.

Sir 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.
