December 2016Lady Susan
Ein Roman in Briefen
by Jane Austen, Angelika Beck
Die attraktive Lady Susan sorgt für Aufregung in der Gesellschaft: Frisch verwitwet, weiß sie ihre Reize nur zu gut einzusetzen und kokettiert bereits wieder mit ihren Verehrern. Gerüchte über angebliche Affären machen die Runde. Um den Gerede zu entgehen zieht sie sich auf das Anwesen ihres Bruders zurück. Dort kann sie ihren Plan in Ruhe weiterverfolgen: einen neuen wohlhabenden Ehemann zu finden. Objekt ihrer Begierde ist der adrette Reginald DeCourcy, der jüngere Bruder ihrer Schwägerin. Es werden fleißig Intrigen gesponnen, um unliebsame Konkurrentinnen aus dem Feld zu schlagen. Doch als eines Tages ihre Tochter Frederica auftaucht, geraten Lady Susans Pläne in Gefahr. Hatte sie für die Tochter doch den reichen, recht einfältigen Sir James Martin auserwählt, was der allerdings überhaupt nicht passt … Lady Susan war Jane Austens erster Roman; er wurde erst posthum veröffentlicht. Nicht minder amüsant, doch viel scharfzüngiger als in ihren großen Romanen erzählt die beliebte Autorin von amourösen und gesellschaftlichen Verwicklungen.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2013Culture in Manchester
Institutions and urban change since 1850
by Janet Wolff
This book brings together studies of cultural institutions in Manchester from 1850 to the present day, giving an unprecedented account of the city's cultural evolution. These bring to light the remarkable range of Manchester's contribution to modern cultural life, including the role of art education, popular theatre, religion, pleasure gardens, clubs and societies. The chapters show the resilience and creativity of Manchester's cultural institutions since 1850, challenging any simple narrative of urban decline following the erosion of Lancashire's industrial base, at the same time illustrating the range of activities across the social classes. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the cultural life of the city of Manchester, including cultural historians, sociologists and urban geographers, as well as general readers with interests in the city. It is written by leading international authorities, including Viv Gardner, Stephen Milner, Mike Savage, Bill Williams and Janet Wolff. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 1991The annals of St-Bertin
Ninth-century histories, volume I
by Janet Nelson
The Annals of St-Bertin, covering the years 830 to 882, are the main narrative source for the Carolingian world in the ninth century. This richly-annotated translation by a leading British specialist makes these Carolingian histories accessible in English for the first time, encouraging readers to reassess and evaluate a crucially formative period of European history. Produced in the 830s in the imperial palace of Louis the Pious, The Annals of St-Bertin were continued away from the Court, first by Bishop Prudentius of Troyes, then by the great scholar-politician Archbishop Hinemar of Rheims. The authors' distinctive voices and interests give the work a personal tone rarely found in medieval annals. They also contain uniquely detailed information on Carolingian politics, especially the reign of the West Frankish king, Charles the Bald (840-877). No other source offers so much evidence on the Continental activities of the Vikings. Janet L. Nelson offers in this volume both an entrée to a crucial Carolingian source and an introduction to the historical setting of teh Annals and possible ways of reading the evidence. The Annals of St-Bertin will be valuable reading for academics, research students and undergraduates in medieval history, archaeology and medieval languages. It will also fascinate any general reader with an interest in the development of European culture and society. ;

September 2008Zwei Leben
Gertrude und Alice
by Janet Malcolm, Chris Hirte
Zwei Leben ist ein höchst anregender und aufschlußreicher, ebenso unterhaltender wie eleganter biographischer Essay über Gertrude Stein und Alice B. Toklas. Unbefangen und respektvoll nähert sich Janet Malcolm ihrem Gegenstand. Während sie den bisher Stein-Fremden Lust auf Werk und Leben der legendenumwobenen Autorin und ihrer Gefährtin macht, hat ihr Buch auch den Kennern Neues mitzuteilen. So erfahren wir zum ersten Mal Genaueres über die Jahre des Zweiten Weltkriegs, die Stein und Toklas als Jüdinnen im nazibesetzten Frankreich verbrachten, nachdem sie sich bewußt gegen eine Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten entschieden hatten. Stein sparte ihr Jüdischsein aus, sie verdrängte es, soweit sie nur konnte, und ließ sich von ihrem antisemitischen Freund Bernard Fay, der Zugang zu den höchsten Kreisen des Vichy-Regimes und zu Pétain selbst hatte, protegieren. Oder: Malcolm berichtet von ihren Gesprächen mit Leon Katz, dem einzigen, der Alice Toklas nach Steins Tod wirklich zum Sprechen brachte - auch über sorgsam Verschwiegenes wie eine unglückliche frühe Liebe Steins, die Eingang nicht nur in ihre Notizbücher, sondern auch in Werke wie The Making of Americans, Drei Leben und Q.E.D. (BS 1055) fand, was Alice Toklas noch viele Jahre später zu rasenden Eifersuchtsanfällen provozierte.

Anthony Ascham and English political thought (1648–50)
by Peter Lake, Marco Barducci, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda
This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.

History of medicineNovember 2011Women's medical work in early modern France
by Susan Broomhall
Women have long been crucial to the provision of medical services, both in the treatment of sickness and in maintaining health. In this study, Susan Broomhall situates the practices and perceptions of women's medical work in France in the context of the sixteenth century and its medical evolution and innovations. She argues that early modern understandings of medical practice and authority were highly flexible and subject to change. She furthermore examines how a focus on female practitioners, who cut across most sectors of early modern medical practice, can reveal the multifaceted phenomenon of these negotiations for authority. This new paperback edition of Women's medical work in early modern France skilfully combines detailed research with a clear presentation of the existing literature of women's medical work, making it invaluable to students of gender and medical history.

March 2016Verbannt!
Versepos
by Ann Cotten, Ann Cotten
Tosende Palmen, ein Rascheln im Sellerie, ein Tiger verschwindet, in der Ferne detoniert eine Atombombe, und das Bewusstsein beginnt, rückwärts zu laufen. Es gehört einer Fernsehmoderatorin, die aufgrund wiederholten Fehlverhaltens auf eine einsame Insel verbannt wurde, ausgestattet nach eigener Wahl mit Messer, Schleifstein und Meyers Konversations-Lexikon. Doch sie ist nicht allein. Hier sind schon fünfundzwanzig Matrosen, die in den Jahren seit ihrem Schiffbruch eine beachtliche kleine Parallelgesellschaft aufgebaut haben, sie heißt Hegelland. Ursprünglich Quäker, hängen sie jetzt der selbsterfundenen Schraubenreligion an und unterhalten in arbeitsamer Kulturleistung drei Pressen von kontinuierlich steigender Druckqualität. Was wird nun angesichts der ersten Frau passieren, und was, wenn mehr kommen? In 399 Neo-Spenser-Strophen schildert Ann Cotten die Turbulenzen, die nach einer weiblichen Flüchtlingswelle aus dem Internet in Hegelland entstehen. Die verschuldeten Prothesenträgerinnen werden unwillentlich zum Katalysator einer schon lange schwelenden Konterrevolution. Mithilfe von Reimen, Anspielungen, synästhetischen Zwängen und großer Anschaulichkeit wird dieser luzide Alptraum auch in Ihr Bewusstsein gehämmert.

October 2017Not Our Day to Die
by Michael Sullivan
It was work for Mike Sullivan–a flying job like the ones he'd done most of his life in many parts of the world–ferrying people, medicine, crops, supplies and almost anything else you can think of among the isolated jungle villages of Guatemala. Life in the farming co-ops there was simple, peaceful, and good, based on bedrocks of family, community, and faith.Then the repression began. A failed attempt at a coup had led to continued fighting between rebels and government, though in areas far from the almost-utopian Ixcan region. U.S. military and CIA intervention helped defeat the insurgency, but the social inequalities that had led to the movement remained, and the revolution went underground. The Guatemalan army, searching everywhere for those who opposed it, increased its control over the isolated jungle area. Co-op directors, teachers, catechists, and then anyone suspected of being one of or assisting the guerrillas was selectively "disappeared." The army turned to a scorched-earth policy, killing animals, burning crops, uprooting fruit trees, destroying towns, massacring their people. Throughout the Ixcan, those who survived fled. Some returned to their original mountain villages, others crossed the border into Mexico, and a third group survived for sixteen years hiding in the jungle–men, women, and children. Primeval growth took over the land as the war with the guerrilla movement raged on to encompass the entire nation.When finally peace accords were signed, the people of the Ixcan returned. Homes were rebuilt, land reclaimed, the area thrived again. But sixteen years were lost, along with countless lives. For Mike Sullivan, who had returned there when his help was needed, the story of those years–of how the people of the Ixcan survived, and of the many who didn't–was one that had to be told. In three visits, he conducted the interviews that form this book, talking with the villagers he'd known long before. At first, they spoke hesitantly, then with the flood force of vivid memory, telling of their first arrival at the Ixcan, the lives they'd made, and the years of the repression and worse. Their stories are gripping, fascinating, painful–but most of all, deeply human as we witness their struggle to survive and feel the force of the simple values that ultimately carried them through to a new and better life.

Gedichte
by Ann Cotten
Mit wenig Assoziationen beschwert; künstlich, neu oder nur vorübergehend im Sprachgebrauch – Fremdwörter scheinen sich für ihre Existenz zu entschuldigen: »Ich erfülle hier nur Begriffsfunktion, habe einen Arbeitsplatz inne, für den es im Moment keinen qualifizierten Deutschen gibt.« Können sie das ernst meinen? Ann Cotten baut sie in die ratternden Denkmaschinen ihrer Gedichte ein: jugendliches Ungestüm im sonettischen Gewand, das klipp und klar Gedachte, die Liebe mit ihren Rückkopplungen. Pete Doherty, Patti Smith und Sappho geistern mit unbekannten DJs und freundlichen Allegorien durch die nächtlichen Verse und wachen am anderen Tag in einem Sprachsubstrat auf, das ihnen ganz fremd vorkommen muß.

The ArtsApril 2011Anthony Asquith
by Tom Ryall, Brian McFarlane, Neil Sinyard
This is the first comprehensive critical study of Anthony Asquith. Ryall sets the director's work in the context of British cinema from the silent period to the 1960s, examining the artistic and cultural influences which shaped his films. Asquith's silent films were compared favourably to those of his eminent contemporary Alfred Hitchcock, but his career faltered during the 1930s. However, the success of Pygmalion (1938) and French Without Tears (1939), based on plays by George Bernard Shaw and Terence Rattigan, together with his significant contributions to wartime British cinema, re-established him as a leading British film maker. Asquith's post-war career includes several pictures in collaboration with Terence Rattigan, and the definitive adaptation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (1951), but his versatility is demonstrated in a number of modest genre films including The Woman in Question (1950), The Young Lovers (1954) and Orders to Kill (1958). ;
