        In diesem berühmten Reiseroman veröffentlichte Elizabeth von Arnim ihre hinreißenden Erlebnisse und bezaubernden Naturbeobachtungen auf der Insel Rügen. Mit ihrem unvergleichlichen Erzähltalent entwirft sie ein prächtiges Bild der »Perle der Ostsee« und lädt zu einer kurzweiligen Wanderung über die Insel ein. Stationen der Reise sind: Von Stralsund geht es über Miltzow und Lauterbach nach Göhren und Thiessow, von dort über Sellin nach Binz. Wir erkunden die Wälder um Granitz, das Jagdschloß und den Schwarzen See. Dann geht es weiter über Binz nach Stubbenkammer, Glowe und Wiek.

        Elizabeth und ihr Garten

        by Elizabeth von Arnim, Constanze Guhr, Adelheid Dormagen

        Ein preußischer Ehemann, nur der Grimmige genannt, eine beste Freundin, deren wochenlanger Aufenthalt die Freundesbande strapaziert, und eine naseweise Besucherin aus dem zivilisierten England. Sie alle bevölkern Elizabeths Garten, ihren liebsten Ort, ihre Oase der Ruhe. Meisterhaft erzählt Elizabeth von Arnim davon, wie sie den verwilderten Garten ihres preußischen Landguts in ein Paradies verwandelt und wie sie – trotz unerwünschter Eindringlinge und störender Nebendarsteller – dem wundersamen Zauber, den der Geruch feuchter Erde und die blühende Stille um sie herum verbreiten, immer wieder erliegt.

        Queen Elizabeth

        Little People, Big Dreams. Deutsche Ausgabe | Es gibt viele Königinnen, aber nur eine Queen – Königin Elisabeth II.

        by María Isabel Sánchez Vegara, Melissa Lee Johnson, Silke Kleemann

        Elizabeth erfuhr schon mit zehn Jahren, dass sie einmal Königin werden würde. Als Vierzehnjährige sprach sie während des Zweiten Weltkriegs den Kindern in aller Welt übers Radio Mut zu. Als ihr Vater starb, bestieg sie mit 25 Jahren den Thron. Aber sie musste noch viel lernen, bei einem Professor nahm sie Unterricht in englischer Verfassung und Politik. Denn ihre Hauslehrer:innen hatten eine andere Aufgabe: eine Lady aus der Prinzessin zu machen. Und jetzt sollte sie mit den Premierministern verhandeln! Sie tat es über siebzig Jahre lang. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Künstlerin, Pilotin oder Wissenschaftler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

        Aristocratic families in republican France, 1870–1940

        by Maire Cross, Elizabeth C. Macknight, David Hopkin

        This is a study of the daily life, concerns, and dynamics of aristocratic families in the France of the Third Republic. Elizabeth Macknight draws on a vast range of material from private archives to contest assumptions about the irrelevancy of the nobility under the republican regime. Within a challenging political and economic environment nobles were determined to protect their interests and conserve the integrity of the aristocratic way of life. The convictions that underpinned nobles' responses to government initiatives emerge from the sources with freshness and clarity. Macknight interweaves male and female perspectives to provide a very full account of familial activities and decision-making with attention to all stages of the human lifecycle. Nobles' experiences of parenting and grandparenting, sibling and cousin relations, marriage, property negotiations, and interaction with servants are brought to light in a vivid and engaging narrative. ;

        Britain and its internal others, 1750–1800

        Under rule of law

        by Dana Rabin

        The rule of law, an ideology of equality and universality that justified Britain's eighteenth-century imperial claims, was the product not of abstract principles but imperial contact. As the Empire expanded, encompassing greater religious, ethnic and racial diversity, the law paradoxically contained and maintained these very differences. This book revisits six notorious incidents that occasioned vigorous debate in London's courtrooms, streets and presses: the Jewish Naturalization Act and the Elizabeth Canning case (1753-54); the Somerset Case (1771-72); the Gordon Riots (1780); the mutinies of 1797; and Union with Ireland (1800). Each of these cases adjudicated the presence of outsiders in London - from Jews and Gypsies to Africans and Catholics. The demands of these internal others to equality before the law drew them into the legal system, challenging longstanding notions of English identity and exposing contradictions in the rule of law.

        La memoria del bosque (The memory of the forest)

        by Sara Bertrand, Elizabeth Builes

        The memory of the forest tells two stories. One, that of a little girl and her mother, and the other story told by the mother to her daughter: a princess who has seen her village burn, a princess who has known fire and violence up close, a princess who hides, turns into a ball; but she is discovered by another - a cat - who makes her remember, questions her. It is a story that is permeated by the dialogues between mother and daughter around the story being told. Elizabeth Builes’ illustrations, with their gestural strokes, her impeccable handling of a palette of soft tones, her skill in the handling of nature and the creation of intimate scenes, give life to a story that goes beyond what is narrated in words.

        Creating character

        Theories of nature and nurture in Victorian sensation fiction

        by Helena Ifill

        This book explores the ways in which the two leading sensation authors of the 1860s, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and Wilkie Collins, engaged with nineteenth-century ideas about personality formation and the extent to which it can be influenced either by the subject or by others. Innovative readings of seven sensation novels explore how they employ and challenge Victorian theories of heredity, degeneration, inherent constitution, education, upbringing and social circumstance. Far from presenting a reductive depiction of 'nature' versus 'nurture', Braddon and Collins show the creation of character to be a complex interplay of internal and external factors. Drawing on material ranging from medical textbooks, to sociological treatises, to popular periodicals, Creating character shows how sensation authors situated themselves at the intersections of established and developing, conservative and radical, learned and sensationalist thought about how identity could be made and modified.
