        Hyde Park

        by James Shirley

        by Helen Ostovich, Eugene Giddens

        Hyde Park (1632) is one of the best-loved comedies of James Shirley, considered to be one of the most important Caroline dramatists. The play showcases strong female characters who excel at rebuking the outlandish courtship of various suitors. Shirley's comic setting, London's Hyde Park, offers ample opportunity for witty dialogue and sport - including foot and horse races - across three love plots. This is the first critical edition of the play, including a wide-ranging introduction and extensive commentary and textual notes. Paying special attention to the culture of Caroline London and its stage, the Revels Plays edition unpicks Shirley's politics of courtship and consent while also underlining the play's dynamics of class and power. A detailed performance history traces productions from 1632, across the Restoration to the present day, including that of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1987. A textual history of the play's first quarto determines how it was printed and what relationship Hyde Park has to other texts by Shirley from the same publishers.

        Selbstbewußtseinstheorien von Fichte bis Sartre

        by Manfred Frank, Manfred Frank

        Im Zeitalter der Postmoderne sind Theorien der Subjektivität und des Selbstbewußtseins kaum gefragt. Der »Tod des Subjekts« gilt als ausgemacht. Der herrschende philosophische Diskurs, in dem Theorien der Intersubjektivität und Kommunikation den Ton angeben, hat das »Selbst-bewußtsein« weitgehend verdrängt, erkennt ihm bestenfalls die Rolle eines Epiphänomens zu. Daß das Selbstbewußtsein dennoch nicht nur einen unzweifelhaften Rang in der Geschichte der Philosophie als Kristal-lisationspunkt neuzeitlichen Denkens schlechthin hat, sondern ein nach wie vor ungelöstes Grundproblem der Philosophie von großer Brisanz ist und bleibt, ist die These Manfred Franks. Den Beweis hierfür tritt er in dem vorliegenden Band an.

        The Life and Raigne of King Edward the Sixth

        From the Seventh to the Thirteenth Century

        by Barrett Beer (author)

        Barrett Beer here presents the first scholarly edition of Sir John Hayward’s Life and Raigne of King Edward VI, the earliest biography of the last Tudor king.  Originally published in 1630 and again in 1636, Hayward’s account was reprinted in White Kennett’s Complete History of England in 1706. Beer uses the printed editions and unpublished manuscripts to produce a more complete text of Hayward’s book than has ever before appeared in print.  In his introduction he examines the environment in which Hayward wrote and considers the influence this pioneering work has had on attitudes toward the mid-Tudor period.The only son of Henry VIII, Edward VI (1537-53) ruled during the Protestant Reformation in England, a period not only of dramatic religious change, but also of warfare, political intrigue, and popular rebellion.  Hayward, who was imprisoned by Elizabeth I for his controversial book on Henry IV and his involvement in the conspiracy of the Earl of Essex in 1600, wrote his biography of Edward at the end of the Jacobean period when major challenges were facing the monarchy.  He proclaimed that his narrative was intended to be a “monument” to the “un-perishable fame” of the king and focused his efforts on court politics, foreign policy, and military affairs.Although few contemporary scholars would accept Hayward’s interpretation of the reign at face value, his work influenced historical thinking for over three centuries.

        Amazonas con pincel

        by Victoria Combalía

        This book proposes a fascinating, clear and didactic journey through the life and work of women artists. Camille Claudel, Frida Kahlo or Dora Maar, among others, occupy the pages of this book illustrating a wide time period and their corresponding styles, from Impressionism to the 1940s of the 20th century.This work constitutes a corrected and enlarged part of Amazonas con brush, a book published in 2006. The texts seek a balance between the historical importance of the creators and the interest in their life, which sheds much light on the difficulties of being a woman and artist at the same time. For this reason, special attention has been paid to their working conditions, their success or neglect of their careers, and those who were able to encourage them or, on the contrary, silence them. They fought, like men, to express their vision of the world and renew artistic language, but in a social context far removed from equal opportunities. This book written by Victoria Combalía was in 2006 the first publication that was published in Spain focused on women artists.

        Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia

        by Edited by Thomas DaCosta Kaufmann and Michael North

        Scholars have extensively documented the historical and socioeconomic impact of the Dutch East India Company. They have paid much less attention to the company’s significant influence on Asian art and visual culture. Mediating Netherlandish Art and Material Culture in Asia addresses this imbalance with a wide range of contributions covering such topics as Dutch and Chinese art in colonial and indigenous households; the rise of Hollandmania in Japan; and the Dutch painters who worked at the court of the Persian shahs. Together, the contributors shed new light on seventeenth-century Dutch visual culture“and the company that spread it across Asia.

        The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng

        Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China

        by Alison Hardie

        The Many Faces of Ruan Dacheng: Poet, Playwright, Politician in Seventeenth-Century China is the first monograph in English on a controversial Ming dynasty literary figure. It examines and re-assesses the life and work of Ruan Dacheng (1587–1646), a poet, dramatist, and politician in the late Ming period. Ruan Dacheng was in his own time a highly regarded poet, but is best known as a dramatist, and his poetry is now largely unknown. He is most notorious as a ‘treacherous official’ of the Ming–Qing transition, and as a result his literary work—his plays as well as his poetry—has been neglected and undervalued. Hardie argues that Ruan’s literary work is of much greater significance in the history of Chinese literature than has generally been recognised since his own time. Ruan, rather than being a transgressive figure, is actually a very typical late Ming literatus, and as such his attitudes towards identity and authenticity can add to our understanding of these issues in late Ming intellectual history. These insights will impact on the cultural and intellectual history of late imperial China.

        Confronting the Golden Age

        Imitation and Innovation in Dutch Genre Painting 1680-1750

        by Junko Aono

        Is it possible to talk about Dutch art after 1680 outside the prevailing critical framework of the "age of decline"? Although an increasing number of studies are being published on the art and society of this period, genre painting of this era continues to be dismissed as an uninspired repetition of the art of the second and third quarters of the seventeenth century, known as the Dutch Golden Age/ In this stunningly illustrated study, Aono reconsiders the long-dismissed genre painting from 1680-1750. Grounded in close analysis of a range of paintings and primary sources, this study illuminates the main features of genre painting, highlighting the ways in which these elements related to the painters' close connections to, on the one hand, collectors, and on the other, to classicism, one of the dominant artistic styles of that time. Three case studies, richly supplemented by a catalogue of 29 selected painters and their work, offer the first clear picture of the genre painting of the period while providing new insights into painters' activities, collectors' tastes and the contemporary art market.

        Pushkin. Boldino. Quarantine.

        Chronicle of self-isolation in 1830.

        by Vizel Michail

        “Nothing is more like a Russian village in 1662 than a Russian village in 1833,” said Pushkin. And Gogol wrote about Pushkin: "This is a Russian person in his development, in which he, perhaps, will appear in 200 years." Leafing through the calendar of the Boldinskaya autumn, a Moscow journalist and translator, editor-in-chief of the portal GodLiterature.RF Mikhail Vizel parses letters sent by Pushkin from the Nizhny Novgorod estate to his bride, friends, and business partners. Nothing is more like self-isolation in 2020 than the quarantine of 1830, right down to the genius's addiction to buckwheat! Pushkin and this is our everything. Author's introduction:“Any quarantine can turn into the Boldin autumn,” we say in Russia. Indeed, if you look at it, it's just amazing how a short and purely economic trip to the Nizhny Novgorod estate in the fall of 1830 unexpectedly became a three-month "creative trip" for 31-year-old Pushkin. As we remember, from September 5 to December 1, 1830 "Onegin" was completed, "Little Tragedies" and innovative (for Pushkin himself and for all Russian literature) "Belkin's Tale", the poem "House in Kolomna" were written, not to mention several dozen lyric poems. Thanks to this, the Boldinskaya autumn went down in history as the highest rise of a genius in his prime.And Pushkin also wrote letters. We have received 19 letters to various correspondents - first of all, of course, to the bride - m-lle Goncharova, 18-year-old Natasha. But also to friends and colleagues, in which he adhered to the style, to put it bluntly, informal. And now we have at our disposal something like Instagram or Facebook, from which we can restore: what exactly did Pushkin do in his Boldin autumn? How did she end up - Boldinskaya? Pushkin's letters make it clear how.

        Fighting for a Living

        A Comparative History of Military Labour 1500-2000

        by Erik Jan Zürcher

        Fighting for a Living investigates the circumstances that have produced starkly different systems of recruiting and employing soldiers in different parts of the globe over the last 500 years. It does so on the basis of a wide range of case studies taken from Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East and Asia. The novelty of "Fighting for a Living" is that it is not military history in the traditional sense (concentrating at wars and battles or on military technology) but that it looks at military service and warfare as forms of labour, and at the soldiers as workers. Military employment offers excellent opportunities for this kind of international comparison. Where many forms of human activity are restricted by the conditions of nature or the stage of development of a given society, organized violence is ubiquitous. Soldiers, in one form or another, are always part of the picture, in any period and in every region. Nevertheless, Fighting for a Living is the first study to undertake a systematic comparative analysis of military labour. It therefore speaks to two distinct, and normally quite separate, communities: that of labour historians and that of military historians.

        Livestock Survival and Management During Disasters

        by Mahadevappa, D. Gouri, Y.B. Rajeshwari, S.B. Prassanna & Manjunath Patil

        There has been a tremendous increase in the production of livestock products and this is expected to continue in the coming future. This is especially in developing countries. The greatest increase is in the production of poultry and pigs, as well as eggs and milk. Livestock production can make good use of resources, some of which may otherwise not be used, and contributes high quality protein and important micronutrients to the human diet.
